There was a scrape on the stator cover from the fall. We both had the same kind of scrape. I wonder if there was some damage under the cover. Thanks everyone, we will have them checked. Great forum and great inputs.... Ken

I was riding with a friend of mine (both of us have 2007 FJR's) last Friday morning and we hit a bridge with a thin coat of ice. Needless to say, we did synchronized downs and we both ended up with FJR body damage and a little personal body damage. We were only going about 30 at the time so we...

The use of cell phones while driving is a real sore subject with me. It is especially irritating when I see a mom in a mini van with a couple of kids in the back with the cell phone locked to her shoulder with her head at a 50 degree angle. She is immobile and changing lanes without looking. I...

It was rated last because the engine only came on strong in the upper range and for real world riding they had to ride one or two gears lower than the FJR in order to get the power out of the Connie. It is basically a detuned 14 mill instead of a purpose built engine for tourning. As long as...

I would have to agree with Bob. I had an ST1300 for about 3 months and now I have the FJR. The ST is very smooth (engine vibration is practically non existent) but it has a significant heat issue (reason I sold it). I don't think it handles as well as the FJR, especially at speed. I did not...

I am about ready to purchase one of the new Zumo GPS systems and I am trying to decide between the 450 and the 550. when I read the reviews and some of the threads here I wonder if I should get the 550 with the bluetooth (I have a blue tooth enabled helmet) or get the 450 and hook a set of...

This sure is a responsive site with a bunch of good input and even better humor. Thanks everyone. I am not going to experiment with custom cuts on my fairing panels and the heat is not offensive to me at this point. Looks like there are no successful aftermarket farkles out there which is...

I have an 07 and just wondered if adding some additional air flow under the radiator openings would increase air flow and further reduce the heat from the radiator and engine?

I will not be able to attend the event but would like to purchase a couple of the long sleeve shirts in size XL. If they are no longer available let me know. Otherwise I will send the $30 + $10 for them today. sounds like a great weekend and since I rode the roads a couple of weeks ago, I am...
