    I've heard people talk about the LD Comfort shorts but I just ran across these. Clicky

    Heat Issues

    Cadman turned me on to these Hand Wings and they work great! Puts a lot of air into the cockpit.

    Need new gear, please help!

    I'm needing some new summer gear and I really can't afford Motoport. I would like to keep my spending around $200 on each piece, pants and jacket. I was looking at the Olympia Airglide but some cheaper gear seems like it may be just as protective. I was also looking at the Rev'it Turbine...

    Another acceleration question...

    It's not just you! I don't like rding behind someone even if they are doing the speed limit (or a little more)! And what REALLY pisses me off is when I ride up to the only twisties within an hour from me and theres some jackass on a HD doing 35 in a 35 corner! What the hell!?!?! Don't they...

    New Rifle is on...

    I got the smaller Rifle, 22 wide by 21 tall, and I thought it looked big at first. I'm guessing mine would look pretty small next yours. It sure is nice having a quiet ride though, isn't it? :D

    Post your Russel seat pics

    I have heard some say to get vinyl instead of leather for “easy care”. Any opinions on this? Wouldn’t the vinyl be hotter?

    Replacement foam for jacket armor?

    Which tourmaster do you have? I have a GX that I don't use...if it's the same you are welcome to it.

    Prayers please

    Very sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. My prayers go out to family, friends and those who had to witness this.

    Critique - how I handled sand in a curve

    I had the same thing happen to me in a 35 mph corner. I was following a buddy doing 55mph and he failed to give the warning sign of the gravel in the corner. He took a line that didn't hit it but I didn't see it in time. Lucky for me there was no oncoming traffic. I pulled in the clutch...

    The Death Wobble

    LOL!!! Good point! The "Better Half" is the one that wants the Goldwing. I keep telling her I'm not old enough for that yet. So at 70...maybe a FJR with a sidecar? :blink:

    fjr vs bmw quality

    I would agree with you and Wanderer, I don't think now days there are bad bikes. I don't mean to knock BMW's, they are great bikes and I really loved the way the RT I rode handled. Just talking to several people owned them scared me a bit. That and the fact that the nearest BMW dealer is a...

    Long Term Affect

    Thanks for the input guys. It really had nothing to do with the outside temp. Yesterday morning it was 62 degrees on my way to work. I'm going to do a flush for peace of mind, cut a small piece of the foam out to let a little more heat out, add my Bake Wings I just ordered and call it good...

    The Death Wobble

    Yes, I've thought about that. I was thinking that "Post FJR" I would go to a goldwing...then at about 65, a goldwing trike until I can't crawl up on that anymore.

    Long Term Affect

    Here is a picture of what I did. Put foam in the panels by my legs. Nothing on this part...

    Long Term Affect

    Since I finished my heat mod on my Gen I (Foam in the side panels) I noticed the temp gauge hits 3 bars really quick. Any in town riding is at 3 bars now. And before, it would only hit 3 bars if I was stopped at a stop light for a minute. Is there any long term affect I should be worried about...

    Is that all there is?

    I agree, coming off a 1999 VFR800...smooth as silk! The FJR's weather protection and ergo's are what sold me. I test rode a Gen I and Gen II before I ever read anything on this forum. I thought it was all in my mind at that time, but it's true, the Gen I's are quicker. (Not that it really...
