    N/Line FJR Dash - If we can get enough people, they might make another batch

    Had the exact same issue with vibration (GPS has never come out though, and I'm riding on IL roads which are some of the worst in the country). I did not want to drill the plastic and it was terrible vibration. Drilled it, ditched the velcro and it got better. What made it perfect was running...

    GPS Mounting Location

    Just bringing up another option if you don't like cluttering up your handlebars and want a very clean platform to mount multiple items, hide all your wiring and you can add aux lights easily. Its also shades the gauge cluster without obstructing the view. I've got a zumo, radar and satelite...

    If you were to do it all over again....

    I only wear the pinlock visor when I want a clear visor (at night, on really cloudy days, or in heavy rain). I got really tired of my visor fogging when the temps dipped into the 40's and I wanted to keep the shield down so I finally broke down and purchased the pinlock. I leave the inner...

    FNG's test ride impression

    It sounds like you don't want a touring bike, but a bike that can tour. I'd defintley spend some time on a properly fitted FZ1. Little less power than the blackbird, but alot more capable in the corners, and easier to get setup to comfortable tour 800 miles days.

    If you were to do it all over again....

    Motoport kevlar mesh top and bottom. Goretex liners for rain. Hit airbag vest over top. Shoei rf1000 with tinted and pinlock visors. Racing gloves for everyday riding, and TCX race boots for nice days, and oxtar matrix for rainy and touring. Waterproof gloves for cooler temps and then a...

    Chicago to Virginia and back

    As a fellow chicagoan I enjoyed reading your report and commiserating with you. Reminds me of leaving the city and heading south. I've had similar happen to me thankfully without the crash, the ticket, and bad tire. However its great to meet alot of nice people along the way, and at least have...

    Colorado Springs Fire - Unbelievable Photos

    One of the crew on the c130 that went down was a fairly active member on advrider too and looks like a avid rider. Sad stuff for all involved. https://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=805145

    Year around riding gear.

    I'm suprised no one has mentioned motoport yet. I have a mesh suit and its works fine from 45-115f (without electrics, those are for below 45). They can also be custom sized, and are much more protective than a product like joe rocket. Ive had mine for 6 years and its held up great for 100k...

    MPG issue? 2008 FJR w/15k miles

    That milage is totally normal for this area (I'm from same area and ride your area occasionally, this weekend acutally). Its a combination of our lousy ethonal gas, and elevation and the type of roads we have. I've been consistently getting 34-39mpg around here with a pciii, large windshield...
