Since I was such a good boy, Santa delivered a new set to Ultra II Kevlar Air Mesh jacket and pants. The stuff is really heavy duty and well made. However, its so stiff out of the box that its almost awkward to wear. I assume that the suit breaks in after some wearing--please verify. I...

Wiz--Good luck with the GL 1800. I actually own both, the Wing and the FJR. Very different in many ways but equally reliable and much fun to ride. The seating position is slightly different and the Wing has more goodies but its also much heavier. Have some safe fun on your new ride!

Thanks to my friends in this forum, I have been awaken from my dream state and no longer have any fantasies about the K1300GT. It probably is a very nice ride with many convenient features however, the price really causes one to re-evaluate. The family CFO would allow the purchase but she said...

Currently own an 07 FJR along with an 04 GL 1800 but always curious about new rides. On a lark I stopped at the closest BMW shop and eyeballed the new K1300GT on the floor. Looked like a pretty nice sport tourning ride with lotsa fancy electronics (ABS ESA ASC heated grips and seat, adjustable...

Congrats on your purchase--I'm sure you'll have hours of enjoyment when you have enough time to build up the miles. Ever been to Harrison Arkansas? Some great riding in those parts, expecially on Hwy 7. Many years ago I lived in Memphis as an undergrad--when it was still Memphis State--and...

The I-pass is very handy if you have to travel through Illinois. Since I have to do it to drive south and east, I carry the pass in my jacket pocket and it works every time. I don't want those ugly velcro strips showing on the bike. Also makes it easier to transfer it to the car when I have...

Has anyone tried the Tiregard remote pressure checking device on an FJR yet? I'm pretty compulsive about checking tire pressure frequently and wonder if the stem mounted sensors work. Looks like it has the potential to be a really useful piece of equipment that would save crawling around on...

Bob-- I sent you a personal message about what I know about that bike at Wade powersports. Good luck with your search. Let me know if you'd like more detail.

Both are good options--you can't go wrong with an FJR but the 06 is parobably an upgrade. There are plenty of good ones out there so go slowly and don't worry about one that got away. Throw your line back in knowing there is still one out there with your name on it.

Great pic of the 06. Trust me, the wife is gonna love it! You might be sleeping with the picture so I hope you like it a lot!

Irishcurtis--earlier comment said it all--"pick the bike, not the dealer". I'd much rather ride my FJR than have my back scratched by the dealer. What will you do for the dealer when you are out of town? Either bike offers a good ride but for me there was no contest when all factors were...

bikemiser-- Not sure what edging you mean but I just got some Seang Micro-swirl edging from the company--too many bad experiences on e-bay. Purchased 4 ft of the stuff and installed it this morning. It took about five minutes to put it on the windshield with no problems. Just started on one...

Some coincidence--just ordered four feet of the edging this morning. Learned that it was shipped this afternoon. Plan to use it on the stock screen to see if it improves the noise problem and buffeting. The edging is guaranteed so it seems as though there isn't much to lose--just postage if...

Has anyone tried this edging on the stock screen? If so, does it do any good or is it just good on the add on screens?

I know this is really a "low tech" addition to the cycle but I have to say that it works exactly as advertised with a five second installation. Have only had it on the bike for a few days but I like it better than the throttle lock I've tried because it lets me adjust to the subtle changes in...

Considered taking my 07 to Vegas for the recall fix but interviewed the guys in St George, UT and took it there instead. They got it done without incident and didn't try to sell me any more service or parts.

I have the Corbin seat with passanger back rest. No complaints from and back seat riders yet.

Same here on my 07. Work done at Wade Powersports in St George UT. Mine was the first in last week so it took longer than expected. The fix is nice though and works well.

Got the new switch installed today. Watched it done and its exactly as Neil described. Took longer than expected--a little over two hours at the local dealer. It was the first one they did so it went slowly. Kept the same key and it all works well.

Greb-- Thanks for getting back to me with your height. The +2 seems to work for you. Might have to go with the +4 just to be certain its tall enough. Continued good luck.
