    Saying Goodby to the FJR Board

    I got the dark red Audio/Comfort/Nav package. Non-ABS. I could have kept the FJR, but I have never been one to keep more than one bike in the stable at a time. I have been very suprised at how nimble it is.

    Saying Goodby to the FJR Board

    Just wanted to say goodby and thanks for all the great information and tech tips from my fellow members. 3 weeks ago, I was offered a deal on the FJR in a trade for an 07 Goldwing I couldn't pass up. I really loved the FJR for solo riding, but found that 2-up for long periods was just beating...

    How many are not happy with their Corbin seat

    I bought a Sargent over a year ago and after a few months of riding to break it in, it is great. I am very happy with it. Even when it was brand new, it was better than the stocker.

    The Newest Farkle!!!

    I am always loose. What I don't need is someone starting with all the name calling and telling me I am full of shit. I am surprised that you let people get away with that kind of crap on this board. Not only is it rude, but it reflects on everyone that posts here for all the world to see. If I...

    The Newest Farkle!!!

    You are really a flaming asshole :angry2: . I was offering my opinion and you feel the need to resort to name calling and personal rancor. if it is really any of your business I commute daily 100 miles round trip and ride on the weekends 500+ at a pop. My personal opinion, which is what I was...

    The Newest Farkle!!!

    I guess I just don't get it. Why would you want highway pegs on a sport tourer? Extending your legs forward while sitting in the saddle forms you into a perfect "U" shape. Not to mention that it shifts the balance of weight and potential control issues. How comfortable is that? I have put a lot...

    Cal-Si or Vstream. Need a decision!

    Never had a Cal-Si but I just got and installed my Vstream. It is a bit larger than the stock and wider. I rode it to work for my 30 mile commute on the expressway and I can tell you it was a big difference. A lot less buffeting especially when moving past large vehicles and it felt more stable...

    Two Up Riding

    My wife loves riding our 05 FJR. A few years ago, I had an ST1100 which I liked and she hated riding on it. She always felt she was gonna fall off the back. I put a Sargent seat on mine and added a lambskin for her and she rides all day without complaint. The seat also kept me from getting...

    BRP in Summer

    We load the FJR on the AutoTrain in Sanford (FL) on June 1 and head to Lorton. Quick stop in DC for a few pics next to the Lincoln Memorial and then off to the BRP. Taking the Canon EOS Rebel with 1gig card so should have plenty of pics.

    Scorpion EXO

    I have a very thick skin, but it gets old when you simply try to ask a question or get some information and there is always one in the crowd that thinks they are being cute or funny. Where was the punchline? Where was the amusing lead in? You were not injecting humor, you were finding fault and...

    Scorpion EXO

    Great, thanks for the comments and reviews with the exception of "Uhhh.....only cars have "windshields". See enough of this finding fault with every little thing and sniping on the "other". This is the 2nd time in a couple of weeks that I have seen someone take a pot shot over something minor...

    Packing List

    Great advice, thanks, we really appreciate it. Wife already proclaimed the laundromat part. Best advice seems to be KISS.

    Packing List

    I didn't realize that I had committed a grievous board posting faux paux. I only figured that since long rides involved packing, this would be an ok place to ask. I humbly beg your forgiveness for transgressing and creating a post that will undoubtedly disrupt the entire fabric of the...

    Packing List

    Okay all you long trip pros, I have a question about how much you pack on at least a 7 day ride. I have an idea on the essentials. How many pants, shirts, and whatevers can you get in an FJR. I have the side bags, GIVI top case and tank bag. C'mon, give it up..

    Does Sirius or XM have to run through a radio?

    I have a Roady2 that I run through my Starcom1 intercom system along with my GPS. I get more volume and clarity than I need. I did add a ground loop isolator to get rid of the electric whine, but I have been using it for a year and I even wear ear plugs and the sound is great.

    Intercoms

    I have had my Starcom1 system for over a year now with my 05 and I am running an XM Roady and Garmin 2610 GPS. Everything has worked flawlessly. I did a lot of research on both the Starcom and Autocom and both are excellent systems, but the Autocom was a lot more and I kept reading different...

    Treo 650 and Starcom1

    Anyone using a Treo 650 with their Starcom1 intercom system? Got some questions about the ringer coming through the headset.
