    Tall Vstream or similar windshield wanted - gen 3

    I have a tall version (N20309) sitting in my garage. It was a little too tall for my preference. It has been on my bike for a trip of a few days but otherwise sits in a box. Great condition, no scratches. I live on the Kitsap Peninsula. If interested, we could set up a meet. - Tim

    Best riding weather for ID, WY, and MT

    I've made a few trips through that area in early September and the weather has always been nice - a bit cool in the mornings, but usually dry. My experience in late May and early June has been that the weather can be more active, and the higher elevations can still see snow occasionally. If I...

    Spot Mount

    RAM Ball Adapter with M10 X 1.25" Threaded Post Works well - that's where I have mine mounted.

    switched power for lighting relay

    +1 for the PDM-60. I've had the same unit for over 7 years on 3 different bikes and it has worked flawlessly. The same company has a more recent model (Amplink PDM) advertised that includes the ability to use a battery tender - that also seemed interesting.

    Windscreen Buzz

    I had some buzzing from my '14, don't recall if it was RPM related or not. It was the plastic covers that cover the screws. The fastener was tight but the plastic pieces were loose enough at the top that they buzzed. Took me a while to figure it out. My solution was to just put a couple felt...

    Latest video of screen captures of the Spotwalla page for leg 3 progress through 6am (PDT) this morning. Kind of jerky at the beginning until the map zooms out. I wish I could figure out how to hold the zoom consistent to make the video smoother, but my tech limits prevent further improvements...

    Here is a compilation of screen captures showing the rider's progress on the first leg through 6am (PDT) this morning. It is fascinating to watch the "rubber band" effect described by others in earlier posts. Please feel free to share the link in other forums if you desire.

    FJRForum Official 2015 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis thread

    I am putting screenshots together as a movie. It is crude, and I am unapologetically fascinated. I admit to being a little technologically challenged, so let me know if the link doesn't work. Here's a link to what I put together for July 1st from midnight to midnight. I plan to do some more of...

    The first post of this discussion listed a 10am PDT start time, not 9. Am I missing something?

    2015 Iron Butt Rally

    I would like to follow the IBR this year. What is the best site(s) to follow along with rider progress? Thanks in advance.

    Test rode 2014 RT - nice, but.....

    I moved from an '09 RT to a '14 FJR without ES. I am 6'2" and about 180lbs. Haven't noticed any issues with the FJR's weight. I frankly don't have any issues at slow speed on the FJR, either. I owned a Honda ST1300 before the BMW, and that bike had another 100ish lbs on the FJR. I did notice the...
