    Commuter King?

    No commuting. All pleasure. 2000 miles per month on the FJR (24,700 on the 05) 1000 miles per month on the Cruiser, although it pretty much stays on the battery tender now days as I find the FJR ride a bit more exhilarating to ride. Been toying with the idea of cutting back because of the...

    Electronic Shift

    I thinkRadioHowie's question is how does the "AE" clutch match engine rpm with that of the transmission. He knows you manually shift the bike. ;)

    Making Road Kill

    Likely you won't have much if any time. I was on a farm road in Texas this morning at about nine o'clock. Was behind a Yamaha, Road Star. I thought about catching up to him for a moment, but decided to stay in my current position. All of a sudden I saw a deer at full stride come from between...

    The '06 Question No One's Asked

    Your right about clutchless shifting on an "A" model, but for how long? I doubt you would do as well with clutchless shifts when your downshifting. The "AE" will downshift seamlessly. I also think that your clutchless shifts, even though your good at it, would take their toll over time on the...

    Engine Braking On The AE

    On the "AE" all you have to do is get off the throttle. Brake if necessary, although braking usually will only lead to trouble.

    Engine Braking On The AE

    Not by magic. The chip will compute and the shift's up or down will be smooth!

    Advice Wanted

    Not only that, you can get the "AE" model and have an electronic clutch to boot!

    Bailey Or Rifle?

    I may just have one for sale now. I forgot about one that just became available to me. Both are in like new condition. Both are the same size, 4' taller and 2" wider. One or two rides before they came off the bikes. Good for me or good for you price?? What do you think it's worth to you...

    My guess is engine speed. Anybody have the answer? Just wondering....

    Only three posts to his credit. Give him time. Heck, I have 12 already. I just know a little about nothing.

    Bailey Or Rifle?

    I bought the Bailey's four inches taller and two inches wider flip. I am 6' 4"+ and felt like you about the stock windshield. If you live in a warm climate like I do you won't have or want a larger windshield. 90% of my riding (26,000 miles on my 05 FJR)is with the stock windshield in the...

    SEAT Choice

    My experience is limited with aftermarket seats. My conclusion thus far is that it all depends on how much you want to spend to be uncomfortable. The FJR stock seat is pretty darn good! The Corbin is nice, a bit wide. Only purchased it because I wanted a backrest and no trunk. I will keep...

    Tires - Wear Bars Starting

    It's your butt! Change now! Good maintenance, good tires and good safety clothing are your best insurance against accident and injury. If you want to get a few extra miles on a tire, do it on something that has four wheels. I keep a few rear and a front tire stored in a small dark room ( my...
