And I remember when driving used to be fun... ...still is on my FeeJR!;-)

My advice - - for what it is worth - - and before you spend a lot of $$$ on a solution: Put another 2 k on her, adjust the cables, and maybe do a TBS. I suspect you'll see a complete change in character. As many on this forum have said, the FJR has a fairly long break-in period. I believe...

My first "car" was a Yamaha. I'm older, somewhat wiser, and now I got rules... If there's rain in sight or I can see my breath, the bike stays in the garage (except for the weekend before last, I just had to get out.) [Am I getting defensive here?] But I ride every day I can, to work or for...

I ride everyday it's above 45F and not raining. And it ain't because I get better gas mileage...

I'm finding it ironic that I worry about whether I should winterize my bike for a month or two. I keep a ride log, and noticed that during 2 months this year, June and August, I barely rode it. Gas should degrade faster during hot weather, assuming the blend is the same (which it isn't), and...

+ 0.5 sort of... Stock seat is the most comfortable stock seat I've ever been on, but I travel <300 miles per day. My passenger, on the other hand, who is a little shorter than my 5"18", would love to find a pillion seat that is about 1 " higher, and a little more level. Raising the...

Let's hear it for global warming, supposed to in the 70's tomorrow. I'm knocking off work and planning my ride now...

Where are the Myth Busters when you need them? I wonder how much fact and how much fiction is behind the winterizing thing? Motorcycle batteries have small plate size, and that has more to do with how long they last than weather or not they whether it out. I've never winterized anything yet...

can't wait - - stuck in a boring meeting at work - - good thought

Anybody for a group purchase?

I always try to have a way out figured in the back of my head. You can always count on the FJR to come through, lucky you. Maybe that explains why Harley guys don't like to ride with us. Frigging aardvarks!

Assuming that is true, I am ready to buy if it has an audio line out as well.

I'm 5'18" (that's 6'6" in English measurements) at <100kg with 36" inseam. As you say "I don't have the luxury of picking the bike, they pick me." This is as good as it gets for tall riders. (The girl at the Harley store told me I am too tall to ride a motorsickle.) I predict you will...

But does it whistle?

LOL - - LSMFT - - LOL

Front '06 is definately ABS. It bounces a little under really hard braking. Haven't really ever got on the rear that hard yet.

+1 Thanks for the tip - was looking for something like this - almost bought another brand - not as, ahem, as safe.

I like it. Nothin wrong with that. New color almost makes me want to trade in my '06. Nope, on second thought, wouldn't want to give that bike up for nothin. Blue is a far more superior color. That's why the sky and sea are blue. To reflect the colors off my Yammi...

Will it still whistle? I've grown accustomed to the tune.
