    V-stream windshield question

    Yeah, I installed mine a couple of months ago and could only ride a couple of times, but I'm experiencing the same thing. I dont think you mounted it wrong, that's just the way it is. It blocks wind like crazy, so it's just a matter of getting used to the flutter.

    Windshield Question

    I went with the V Stream and just put it on recently. I only got to test it for an hour or so a couple of sundays ago cause it's winter here in CT. My impression is that it works exceptionally well. 1/2 way up and its a nice ride. All the way up and it's REALLY quiet. The downside is that it...

    "05" Honda RC51

    VStrom / FJR

    Well, maybe I can add, as I just sold my V sTrom 1000 for the FJR. Before that I had a v-storm 650 (these are in addition to my other bike, now a Tuono). I did a lot to the 1000 - seat , Ohlins, front springs, lines, even had MArchesini wheels (17" front) for awhile. But, it depends on how he...

    Opinions on First test ride on FJR's

    I just bought my FJR two days ago, but it was after significant consideration of the C14, the FJR and the ST1300. I ride with guys who own dealerships, so I got to ride each. I've come from a history of hard core sport bikes, and recently made changes to bikes with more comfort (just had two...

    First Farkle and

    I see. I'll look. I have a Givi top case kept from my traded in v-strom and on that bike my pillion was more comfortable when I drilled holes and moved it back a bit. Not sure how the stock Givi setup will work on the FJR. thanks.
