Read this whole post, RFH, and I'm glad to see you're up and on it. Got the worst of it behind ya. I'm on the other side of the state from you and this past summer, I came up on an intersection where an 18-wheeler or something had leaked a big old bunch of diesel fuel or hydraulic oil all...

I downloaded the phone app to my iPad as well and been experimenting with it. I'd rather carry my phone or iPad on the bike than my laptop, but each his own. It's not so much that BaseCamp is difficult, but it does have a "learning curve" to it. Once I used it a while, I got the hang of it...

I saw this over on one of the Gold Wing forums. Those guys are usually pretty good critics of this kind of stuff and it was receiving fair reviews. It's a website for motorcycle route planning: https://www.tourstart.org I've been experimenting with it and it looks pretty good. I've put in our...

Hey Allen, DId you ever try that Kia paint code? Is it close? Pics?

We've all had jobs go like that...LOL. More than I care to mention or think about. Sounds just ike me though, except that it's 35 miles one-way to the nearest Home Depot, Lowes, hardware store. My FJR is too new to need service right now, but I've got to do the service on my Goldwing trike...

Please let us know how it turns out. Very interested in getting the match as close as possible.

Yep. Red in any shade or brand has always been the most expensive color due to certain pigments needed to make up the color. I saw the Color Rite site and have used their paints on some of my Wing assessories. It was pretty a close match. I'd be interested to see how close that Kia color is...

Wait till you get to ride it....Wow! I bought my 2014 A around Thanksgiving and only have about 100 miles or so on it. I have farkelled it out quite a bit during the down period of cold weather and rain. However, the few miles I've put on it have put a lot of smiles on my face. Everytime I...

I'm trying.....lol

Like most stock motorcycle horns, it is inadequate IMHO.

Not to hi-jack the thread, but we've travelled across the Trace many times on the Gold Wing. IF you're looking for a fast paced, exciting, thrilling, curvy ride (such as The Dragon), this is definitely NOT your road. However, if you're looking for a kicked-back, leisurely pace thru some really...

I just bought a 2014 FJR, and IMHO, the answer is: No, the horn is not adequate. However, it rates right up there with the horn on my wife's Honda Civic which also is inadequate. Almost all stock motorcycle horns are not adequate. I have not yet had a chance to look/see if there is room for a...

You're probably not the first to do something like that...and most definitely not the last. I wanted an FJR soooo bad back in 2006. I let people talk me out of it saying it was too much of a sport bike etc. So I let my friends talk me into a new Gold Wing. I've had the Wing since then, had...

I had the dealer get them and install them prior to picking up the bike.

+1 to everything that NormKern said above. You really gotta watch it and most folks gotta balance distance & time versus the cost. I've been by their shop on many occasions. They are really nice folks that treat both customers and potential customers equally well. Some folks don't mind the...

Stock windshield could stand to be just a tad taller IMHO, but it's ok as is. I have not plans to change it right now. Appreciate the "heads up" on the loaded bags. It sure handles great without em, IMHO.

Yep. I double-checked inside the bags and the liners were in there. I wasn't leaving without em....LOL

I'm out in Indian Village on Hwy 383 just west of Kinder. We ride over to Eunice to the Walmart and Pizza Hut quite often on Saturdays as it's closer than going to Lake Charles. We'll hook up for a ride maybe down the road. We ride with some guys out of Kinder from our church. Unfortunately...

Thanks guys. Yes. She came with the bags, but this bike looks so good without em that I'm gonna leave em off for now. Try leaving em off a BMW, Connie or an ST and see how they look...LOL...they look like crap. Fortunately for us, the FJR looks great either way. I had the dealer put em on...

I bought a new 2014 FJR last Saturday, but couldn't pick it up till yesterday. I got it home late last night so really didn't have much time to play with it. Today, I got to take it out and ride a little bit. I LOVE this bike!!!
