    Stock Exhaust System

    I have performed the Trooper mod on my FJR but was wondering if anyone had gone in and done any other mods to the factory system that they were happy with. I am not asking about aftermarket slip-on mufflers, but any "tricks" to the system itself. Thanks.

    First Ride

    Well, I finally got to bring my new FJR home today. Dealer is about 110 miles away so I wanted to pick a day that the weather would be somewhat cooperative for the first ride home.

Effective I assume, but overdone. Between the size of...

    Motorcycle Insurance

    Currently insuring one bike (2008 Victory) through Farm Bureau, but the cost seems higher than bikes I've insured in the past. Went with them primarily because of convenience. Now however, I am facing insuring two bikes and am looking for any recommendations on which insurance companies have...

    FJR Carbon Fiber Hydroprinting

    While I agree the Hydroprinting produces some impressive results, I am not so eager to take on something with as much preparation and care as this process takes. After reading the OP's initial post I searched for 3M (or similar) quality carbon fiber self-adhesive sheets. Well, not real carbon...
