Yamaha road star then Harley road king then FJR.

Neat graph UP, I've got a couple of questions/obervations. It appears that the C14 has a higher terminal speed in 5th than it does in 6th. Is the FJR's overall gearing closer to the C14 in 5th or 6th? Is the Beemer in 5th or 6th in this graph?

No risers here, I find the stock setup quite comfortable.

No way, too modern for me, but I might try one of those new fangled V twin harleys in a couple of years. I'll wait and see if the design has any staying power. :lol:

Harley's first Vtwin was in 1909...I think. In 1908 FN of Belgium was making an inline 4 shaft drive.

Mine wants veer left also, my road king did the same thing. harley riders maintained it was because of all the final drive shtuff was on the left. Probably the same with the FJR.

1. I use 3rd on 25 mph roads, 4th on 35 mph roads, and 5th on 45 mph and over. You start out in 2nd? I use first gear, I paid good money for it and I'm dam well gonna use it, besides this bike already gets beat up for having only 5 speeds, now you want to make it a 4 speed. 2. Mine turns...

I agree, I am afraid that Yamaha will bow out of the ST market to focus on the Super Tenere. :(

[...but it would have to be a Gen II AE. (Radiohowie quote) There ya go! :clapping:

Yea, if the bag did not deploy, I think it would put the scenario where Howie hit the Lexus first on thin ice. I'm no expert but I do know that several parameters have to be met before deployment occurs. Obviously all parameters are met in a panic brake/impact, but maybe not when pushed into...

Howie, did the air bag deploy?

Man that looks really nice, good job. I did the bathroom this year, down to studs then build back up and put in a tub enclosure. I don't have the skill or patience for a kitchen like that. I'm envious, and if my wife were to see these pictures she would be too. :P

allrider, this is radiohowie. He's on the charmin forum complaining about the corn cob being replaced. :lol:

Sub harness only here, 2007 with 6000 miles.

Mine did it too when I first bought it. I kept a eye on the fluid level, never went down, and eventually it quit doing it. Not saying yours is the same as mine but it might be. Although if I remember correctly, it only took a couple of weeks to clear up, about 300 miles or so.

Yup, I'll vouch for the M5 connector, although that whole mixing bowl ( I275, I96, I696) moves right smartly. The Livonia constabulary makes some good money off those that carry that mindset a little too far down 275. ;)

Paypal sent.

I agree with the bag design, top loads are easier to deal with but I've learned to live with the side loads, they're not that bad. As far as the turn signals, I've owned quite a few bikes with them and the systems are not perfect. Some of the early systems operated on a time a distance...

Thanx, I keep getting that wrong. ;) :)

+1, except Gen 1 owners are not superior. They have feelings of inadequacy because............their bikes are too small. :D
