    WTB - topcase with backrest or just backrest for wife

    I do not have a top case, but a Garauld rack and a very comfortable back rest. here is the link I am selling my 06, that's why this is on sale. I decided not to get a top box, but instead use a sturdy tail bag that keeps its shape (dowco tailback combo). A top box also creates wobbles at...

    Bought a FZ1

    The seller likes Hardlees and had the clutch lever canting towards the front and low (yuck) - trying somehow to make it into a lazy cruiser (not!) He has a bar riser installed (not properly aligned) and has scuffed the handlebar in the process (shish). The chain was all gunked up with too much...

    Bought a FZ1

    Passing Multiple Cars

    Wow, we think alike. Stay away from cagers by being ready with the right gear (lower) for the speed you are at. Look for tell-tale signs of tires moving in phunny ways (stay away!) and girls putting on lipstick, holding the cell phone and others reading their morning (?) paper, etc. Bunch of...

    99' Triumph Daytona 955i in Richmond, VA

    Your suggestions are all good. As I said up top, I am in a bit of a crisis - I can't decide :unsure: I am considering the KLR650 or a BMW R1150R ... like this or a Buell XB12R. Now that I think about it, I might not enjoy a crotch rocket for much long ... so Daytona is out. Well, I am going...

    What size trailer for 3 bikes?

    I am looking to buy a trailer with a rear ramp and a side door. I plan to use it to store my FJR + a 2nd bike (standard/sport - up to 1000cc) and a kids bike (250cc) I have only a single drive-way, so this one will have to be on the street in front of my house. I am thinking 5-6'x10-12'...

    Need for a comprehensive FJR Tech Index web site

    Excellent start! Keep going. btw. instead of replicating all content at the site you have, you could also link to specific threads here (assuming the content here doesn't vanish for some reason ...) oh, I see you are already doing that w/ FJRTech ... great

    FJR engineers embarrassed by Concours 14

    Finally a comment that admits the reality. Yes, it's buzzy ~4000-4500 and my right hand goes numb in ~20-30mins and I have to take rest stops. For most, this rpm range is typical (~60-80mph) on slabbing tour and I hate to have to stop so often :angry: . I have risers, 1lb each bar ends, BMW...

    audiovox cruise

    Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I after looking at the pic of this mount, for the first time I noticed the thread hole hiding under the plastic cap next to the reservoir on the left! What was that for? I do not see one on the right hand side. I should have bought this mount - nice...
