    Where did you ride your FTR today?

    I just rode home to the west coast from Sturgis, SD (trailered the bike there with a friend). If I ever do another long trip I'm copying your gear layout - especially the wind screen. Bike did fine but on those "rare" <cough> occasions where my speed got over 90 or 100 mph the wind was a...

    Samco hoses…

    Yeah, I f'ed up my junction hose and ended up just using the new Indian one. If I was to do it again I would make sure to pre-heat the crap out of the hose and maybe see if I have a friend with small hands to help me. Congrats on getting it done. Mostly pretty straight forward but that...

    Indian FTR 1200 s vs. KTM 1290r Super Duke Two somewhat similar bikes with different personalities.

    Definitely different feeling bikes. There isn't much "cruising" done on my FTR in comparison to the V-rod. I speak from experience.

    New product update, SAMCO coolant hoses for the 2019+ FTRs

    Update to my post above. Unfortunately a new junction hose from Samco was going to cost around $210 so I just ordered the revised junction hose from Indian for something like $29 shipped. Considering the part is largely hidden and I just did this for cosmetic purposes I think this will be ok...

    New product update, SAMCO coolant hoses for the 2019+ FTRs

    My attempt at installing didn't go so well today. Hopefully, I can get another junction hose from them without having to buy a whole new kit. I beat the shit out of mine too much trying to wedge it in there (with no success) to feel comfortable using it. In the mean time I'll just start taking...

    New product update, SAMCO coolant hoses for the 2019+ FTRs

    Apparently mine is showing up today (West coast US). I'm happy to get it before the winter is over so I can get it installed in time for the good weather.

    New product update, SAMCO coolant hoses for the 2019+ FTRs

    Has anyone in the US that ordered these actually received them yet? I ordered when this thread was posted but haven't received anything yet.

    Attempted FTR theft, prevention and dealing with it.

    I just bought one of these: https://us.litelok.com/ Saw a youtube review where it tore up a lot of grinding discs. I also have one of those disc brake locks with an alarm - I don't expect it to stop a determined thief but the two combined should be a little discouraging.

    Digital Wrench Alternative

    Is there a standard like OBD-II for motorcycles? Seems like we are at the mercy of the manufacturers and third-parties like Dynojet.

    Akrapovic exuast

    @Bumati - Did you make those pipes for the catalytic converter delete yourself? Were you able to match the stainless tubing so they tarnished to match the factory tubing? I'm planning on doing the same thing this winter.

    Engine Paint - Touch Up - Match?

    It looks like I have two small chips on the paint on my engine (2022 FTR S). Probably from a rock - nothing too huge. Anyone found any good touch up paints for the gray engine paint?

    Fairing?

    IDK, I also don't have a wind tunnel to figure out the alignment. So the easiest thing was to take it off.

    Fairing?

    I tried the Puig windshield but it caused a wobble right at 100mph. Under 100mph it was nice but that wobble was no fun. Took it off yesterday and the wobble went away with no other changes to my suspension. So it was definitely the windshield. Not sure if anyone else has had the same issue.

    Awful grinding from transmission when shifting into 2nd at high RPM

    Big +1 on this. I put this on yesterday and it made a noticeable improvement in the shifting.
