    2014 FJR "A" Pricing? What did you pay?

    Sorry for interrupt: is the ONLY difference between the 'A' and 'ES' is the manual-vs-electronics suspension?

    2014-07-20 MotoPort Riding Gear Repair

    Honestly, I like my Motoport Ultra II 1000 Denier pants. I have it since 1997 for more than 100k miles of riding and it's still holding up. However, I don't really believe the tear strength and all that posted on motoport web site. It seems that motoport is the only one who claimed those...

    2014-07-20 MotoPort Riding Gear Repair

    According to motoport, the mesh Kevlar is so much stronger than anything else. I wonder why all the top racers did not use it to protect their skin? I have been wearing a motoport Ultra II 1000 Denier pants since 1997 and I like it very much (at least mine is as good as the competition leather...

    Tire balance

    It was something similar to your experience that I had similar experience with other stores and I ended up getting a complete Nomar tire changer with balancer, some extra tools, tire valves, wheel weights etc... for about $1000 and do it myself, even though I use it may be once every other...

    Boondocking on a Bike? MC travel on the cheap

    Yes! I have a self-inflating mattress under that sleeping bag and I'm 58 years old :-) I did have to wear earplugs while sleeping as the trucks kept coming and going all night long.

    Committed to Purchase My First FJR Today

    At least in California, the mileage is entered on the 'release of liability' form that the seller sends to dmv. There is no mileage recorded on the pink slip. I guess it's something that could be agreed on...:-)

    How much weight from the FJR can I reasonably reduce?

    Thanks for the inputs. I already have 3 Givi bags on my Blackbird. I just found that the 2014 FJR is more attractive so I hope to at least ride a few months with less weight until my health improved and also I hope to get used to the weight. My Blackbird was configured to do ST duty so I'm not a...

    How much weight from the FJR can I reasonably reduce?

    I start to look for a recent FJR, may be the 2014. I have been riding since 1996. The only thing I'm concerned is the weight. I'm riding a Honda CBR-1100XX which is about 550 lbs wet. I'm not really sure I can handle another 100 lbs more (due to health reason), but I do really really like the 14...
