    Hourly Shop Labor Rates

    yeah, I gotta go with crazy... off the charts, ludicrous. sadly though, it's kind of a 'what the market will bear' type of a thing... in your case, a lot! but prob never again, even if it means never taking a long trip again... that's really the sad part, if u know what I mean...

    FJR has no character?

    Well, let's face it... all the young beavers like to listen to Justins beaver... so... there u have it... they'll mature ;)

    Left control cluster moves (horn/turn siganals, etc)

    knatster, there's s a kind of hole in the handlebars that a plastic part of the cluster is suppose to fit into. That keeps it from moving. But some have put after market grips on the bike. And if these grips aren't identical in length to the OEM grips, then the cluster may have been moved to...

    FJR has no character?

    This is really Sage advice. Compare it to other things in life... say politics? should we all agree on that? do we all agree on that? I don't think so... I think, like other aspects of life, don't wait for everyone else to say "you're right!" cause that doesn't happen ;) Go with what you...

    FNG's test ride impression

    Well it's obvious how suggestive things like this can be. I've owned 2 vfr's, 1 st1300 and 1 fjr. Of the ST13 and FJR, the ST13 is clearly more like a boat imho, the front has no suspension adjustment whatsoever and it's terribly under-sprung. Not only does the fjr have an awesome and powerful...

    Looking at getting a new '12 FJR

    Auron... just wait. It won't take long at all to find if there's going to be a Gen III. Then decide if the 'newer' aspects are worth the entry fee or pay considerably less for an earlier version. I know that's not easy... but think... smoother engine, inverted forks, possibly lighter, more...

    2008 under 1K miles Frederick MD craigslist $10K

    yeah like skoot said... the thing that makes it seem 2009 is the black gauges. Weren't the 2008 silver? Having difficulty remembering... old age ;) that's interchangeable for the most part... other things... not so much...

    Sidi Boots

    Would agree with others also, they are worth it. Sidi makes racing boots, mainly. The other boots they make, like the Fusion mentioned, inherit the benefits and research and experience etc from the racing models. I've had 2 pairs of Sidi's and love them. They are like gloves for your feet...

    Go Pro Camera

    My experience is it's not easy to find a "vibration free" position to mound a camera on the FJR (or really any bike for that matter). You can get software that will smooth out vibrations, but it's always going to kind of be "fabricated" if u know what I mean. If you go to the very end of this...

    BT023GT front cupping

    Doubt this will help but I ran 44 in both with the GT. Read a long time ago the best way to deter cupping is to over inflate. Controversial I know. Since yours is already cupping you've nothing to lose... try putting 44 in it and see if it starts to wear better. I had to do that with the oem...

    Passenger Getting on Bike

    The key thing, imho, is for her to stay "centered" over the bike at all times. Be it getting On or Off. Explain very clearly: you can balance the bike, with her on it, but not if she's leaned way over to one side or the other. Sometimes if there's a curb nearby that can help too...

    Went a## over tea kettle.

    Glad yer okay! that does suck. But does ABS know when the rear tire is sliding laterally? I didn't think it knew that? I mean that's what a high side comes from right? lateral sliding of the rear tire?

    Topcase recall ?

    So! it is the topcase that has the recall, not the subframe? That's been confusing to me anyway... certainly looks like it's just the topcase....
