If your service manager is correct, you should have Crzy8 back home again today, and all your questions will be answered. Will it be like the first time? Probably not. Things rarely are. But it will no doubt feel familiar throwing a leg over it again. You enjoyed it before, so, odds on, you'll...

Congratulations on the new bike. I just picked up the standalone backrest from Premier Cycle Accessories ( https://www.premiercycleaccessories.com/category_s/614.htm ) for my new to me '06. It's a nice, well-made unit, my wife likes it, and the price was reasonable, at least to me (I'm...

Our local Yamaha dealer has a a black FJR 1300A on the floor. It looks like a . . . well . . . black FJR.

I've only had my '06 for less than 2 weeks and it's already been mistaken for a BMW a half-dozen times. Not surprising, though. FJRs are thin on the ground around here.

While I've never been a real member of HarleyWorld, I do own an '05 Sportster 1200 (in addition to my '06 FJR). I thought I'd sell it when I bought the FJR, but it's such an excellent counterpoint to the FJR, I may just keep it a while. I use it for short haul, in-town running around for...

I just picked up my '06 A last Thursday and put something over 300 miles on it over the weekend. The only thing that really bothered me was the wind coming over the stock shield and the resultant noise. Solution: installed a Laminar Lip today. I've used these on other bikes, so I knew what to...

If you ride it—which is the idea—the bike is going to get dirty and attract bugs, stone chips, scratches, swirl marks, fingerprints, and on and on. Riding and maintaining a showroom appearance are incompatible. So, ride it, keep it as clean and shiny as you can, and don't worry about it.

I rode several STs before pulling the trigger on my '06 FJR last week. They are both great bikes, but I decided on the FJR because it fit me better: the riding position, the handling (it feels lighter than it is), and the overall feel of the bike. The ST felt wider, heavier, and my wife hated...

I look forward to meeting and riding with some of you in my area. Maybe at the December barbecue in Los Osos?

Did the deal and picked up my new-to-me '06 yesterday (previous owner traded it on a new Concours). Took it out for a 200 mile loop today with a couple of riding friends. Everything from freeways to country roads to canyon twisties with temperatures ranging from an 81 high down to 55 on the...

Spent most of the day on the bike yesterday and (no surprise) loved it. I took it through it's paces on all the types of roads and conditions that represent my riding, and it was just all-around excellent. I will want a slightly larger windshield, but that's about it. So, now we're negotiating...

Thanks for all the info. The Bin-of-Facts was especially helpful. The one thing I am surprised about it the cost of insuring this beast: it's more than my Harley and Buell put together. I guess it's the fairing and other vulnerable bodywork that does that. Anyway, that's not a stopper...

I'm test riding an '06 A tomorrow prior to buying. It looks very clean, has 11k miles on it, was used as a commuter (combination freeway and secondary roads), and was never taken on a long trip. Owner traded it in on a new Concours. I've ridden an '03 before so I know basically what it's...
