Congratulation on your new bike. It does have a nice engine. By the way I started riding 50 years ago.

Will do, are you from CDA

Now you do know that Coeur D Alene is not the best place to live. I have been trying to get the word out that it really is a hell hole. The place to move is Spokane about 30 miles from here or Calgary once the borders open or anywhere other than Coeur D Alene as far as that goes. Not really much to do here.

When I bought the 2020 the sales person said that one should be there in May. I can talk to them probably today as they should have my 2020 brake switch changed out.

Well, things aren’t necessarily looking good for 2021 Tracer availability. My buddy has had a deposit down on a Tracer 9GT since the beginning of the year and the dealer just called him and said they don’t know when or even IF they will get one this year, and told him they were refunding his deposit.  He tried another dealer and they said the same, IF they get one, it might be July but they weren’t feeling too positive about it.

Has anyone heard anything similar from the local dealers?

The dealer where I got my 2020 will have one coming in and I don't think its sold yet. If he wants to come to Coeur D Alene he high be able to score it. Specialty Sports is the dealer.

Daboo definitely hit most of the parks. You may want to keep in mind once you go through Zion head over to Vegas and cut through Death Valley (in the very early morning) and once in California check out Sequoia National park (a must see), go through the south end of the park first and then into the north, or drop down into Joshua Tree national park then up to Sequia. Then you can head up to the redwoods and then into Oregon. Once you get to Crater Lake(well 10-12 hours) your getting close to me. Give me a shout.

Man I could keep going about all the places to see. Could get confusing for you. Just sit down with the map and check things out.

I got a letter in the mail a couple of months ago.  Talked to local dealer, they ordered the part and when it came in I went by and they put it in in an hour - that's how long I was there not how long it took them.  Looks good and have had no problems.  I would check with your dealer.

I did they said 1-2 days. I will tell them they have 2-3 hours.

Are those the prices you are asking ? Retail?

Thats quite the change from the Tracer

Sorry I just saw your comment about offers.

Anybody install one of these

The FJR switch connects up in the front cowl, runs toward the LH side, under a removable panel once the windshield is off. 
Did you get your transmissions shafts replaced yet?

-Skip

Mines a 2013 5 speed transmission so Im good. I will defiantly remove all the stuff on the FJR. Don't want this dealer breaking anything since I have worked on the FJR more than there mechanic has.

I made the same move. No regrets!

I still have the FJR along with a few other bikes. I like the FJR for those long rides, 2-3 thousand

Thats what I was thinking. I know the FJR will take a bit more time

So I picked up the 2020 Tracer and I knew it needed the brake switch replaced as does my FJR. The dealer just called and said the switch is in for the Tracer and I can drop off the bike if I can leave it for 1-2 days. So how long has it taken others to replace the switch. 1-2 days seems a bit much. I feel one day would be enough. Drop it off in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon.

Just picked up the 2020 Tracer Gt a few days ago and only have 80 miles so far but liking it. Quite a bit different than my FJR but lighter. 

Sounds like a great trip. Im assuming you will be able to access the forms here. If you travel through Northern Idaho you can give us a shout. I am in Coeur D Alene Idaho about 5 hours East Of Seattle, about 5 hours from Glacier, about 6 hours from Yellowstone.I also just bought a 2020  Tracer, but have a FJR1300 along with some 70's bike's that have been restored.

I don't think your wife is off base here. There is definitely baggage to go along with the H-D name. Is it fair to the company? Probably not. But it's there. 

Let's just say if I were to buy one of these things I probably wouldn't attend any "runs" with the pirate crowd. 

Do you really think they would let you ride with them anyway if you had one.
