    Beat the heat

    I think you got a product you could take to market if you can get it into production. Superb idea making cardboard mock-ups before fashioning metal or plexiglass pieces. I have been toying with the idea of making a mod on my '06. Different animal, I don't intend to hijack this thread, but I...

    06 side panels, do you open or keep close?

    It's amazing, but neither the manual nor the heat management brochure seem to give any indication which position is cooler. I think the closed position looks cooler. I think you get more hot air directed at the rider when you are logged on and the panels are open.

    Thinking of buying an FJR

    FJR more comfortable for tall riders (like me at 5'18") than BMW. Just hope you like the whistle, because as I have discovered, it gets worse the higher you hold your head sits above the windshield. That and a little heat on the left ankle are the only complaints I have, but maybe I should just...

    Get out of the way status symbol!

    While Americans tend to be inconsiderate drivers in general, we are far from the worst. We are just not quite ready for the autobahn. Great job on teaching courtesy. But George Carlin said it best: "Anyone who drives slower than me is an asshoe, and anyone going faster is a maniac." [or...

    Calling '06 owners

    Duh, the light bulb just went on - I can do the same thing to remove the stupid-ass dealer decal on the back of my cage - great idea. Thanks folks

    '06 LED screen issue

    The problem with those erasable markers is that they smear. I got the folks over in our design shop to die cut a small square in some black electrical tape. Now like it's always on. Seriously folks, why'd ya have ta go and point this out. I've been goin so fast I didn't have time to stare at...

    385 miles on '06 today - some interesting observations

    Kinda interesting watchin waiters turn into whiners, dontcha think? Deal with it. +1 on the sloppy loose throttle cable, though I haven't noticed any surging. As far as the hurky-jerky shifting, you just have to time the shift right. I love this bike. But then there's that damn whistle...

    fairing adjustment thingy 06fjr

    Can't figure it out. I've tried riding mine both ways and it's hard for me to tell, but I think it's actually cooler with the vents open. Do you think I have a sensitivity problem?

    New Guy Help

    Buy an older starter bike, beat the crap outta it for 1 season, then you'll know what you really want, and feel confident on it, whatever it is.

    06 unified brake system

    There's one question no amount of discussion can answer for me. Several years ago, I came down a hill towards a busy intersection at a pretty good clip on a dark night, many hours after a mid-day thunderstorm. I knew there was a stop sign at the bottom of the hill, but I wasn't expecting the...
