    riser measurements

    Been thinking about adding a riser plate to my FJR. When I see 1.5" back or 1.5" up and back, where is that based? At the grips? Or at the triple trees? Thanks for any info.

    Honda VTX 1800F, Yamaha Stratoliner, Victory Vegas

    Thanks guys for the input. Looking at the Road Star Midnight. I like the look - at least on the website. Haven't seen nor sat on one in person.

    Honda VTX 1800F, Yamaha Stratoliner, Victory Vegas

    Just looked at the Road Star. 1600cc and it has a Mikuni carburetor. :clapping: Maybe Yamaha isn't out of the race.

    lowering your FJR

    Did you lower the front as well (slide fork tubes up triple tree)? If so, how difficult was this to get both tubes even?

    Honda VTX 1800F, Yamaha Stratoliner, Victory Vegas

    I will say that reading about the HDs, they do get pretty good fuel economy. Just can't bring myself to buying one. Thought the Victory was noisy? Hmmmm. While at the dealership they started one up for me, didn't think that. I did not, however, take it for a test ride which they offered. I...

    Kawasaki 650 Versys

    I like it... except for that headlight. WTF was Kawi thinking? The designer should be fired...

    "had" the VTX. Why do you not have it anymore?

    Ignacio In the Iron Butt Rally

    Damn. Good luck with that and be safe. I wish I had the time for something like this (and if my shoulder could handle it). But alas, I will live through you. :clapping:

    Looking around for possibly a cruiser. Anyone have info to pass along to me regarding the following: Yamaha Stratoliner Honda VTX 1800F Victory Vegas ??? (BTW, I am not interested in a Harley whatsoever.) I like the looks of the Honda (but haven't seen one in person). I am, though...

    New mileage record on a single tank of gas

    hmmmm I guess my mileage isn't too bad. I have the PCIII installed with the Wally Smoothness map for Gen II. I get to about 200 miles and then the low fuel flashing starts. Usually add about 5.5 gallons at that point. Before the PCIII I would get to about 225-230 miles before the low fuel...

    gel pad on seat

    Doing some "research" on the Airhawk... might be something to consider. Also found them on eBay for $134, shipping included.

    gel pad on seat

    Don't believe the Butt Buffer is a gel. Took a quick look at their website.

    gel pad on seat

    Thanks everyone. Keep 'em coming. I'm looking for something to help with longer distance rides. Sounds like the Pro Pad might be an option for me.

    Lane sharing article in the LA Times

    Being informed it's not illegal (I'd rather say that than it's legal), is a big problem in Los Angeles. There are a lot of VERY dumb people driving cars. I also agree completely with you about lane-sharing within reason. I'll be on my FJR travelling 75 mph and have some ***** on a Gixxer fly...

    gel pad on seat

    Is that the brand "Gel Pad" ? If not, which one did you use on the FJR? Thanks.
