    Are more expensive Motorcycle Helmets really any safer?

    I remember saying to myself after reading the article; Rut-Roh, some heads will roll from this one!

    Are more expensive Motorcycle Helmets really any safer?

    "Comfort" and "Airflow" is an important aspect to a helmet as well for me. I have not found these two critical items in the lower end helmets. The proper fit can also be the difference in survival. I have an oblong shaped head and have found Arai fits my head the best along with providing...

    FJR vs K1600 ?

    I predict a complete redesign of the FJR and it being a 1600 in the year 2020! It will also reach the $20K mark!

    FJR vs K1600 ?

    Agree with the already suggestions in trying a custom seat. I had a Russell on my 06 and it was absolutely amazing. It won't be the best looking seat but you're looking for comfort and it definitely fits that bill. If you're set on a BMW touring bike, try the 1200RT before the K1600. I think...

    Top box, I hate/love mine

    See, I was thinking the opposite in that the 47 looked better on the FJR because it has some lines to it like the side cases. The 46 is more rounded off. That's why they make both the 46 and 47. We all like different things. It's all good!

    Givi's site has a Gloss Blue Colored lid listed for the V47. https://www.giviusa.com/givi-products/case-accessories/colored-case-covers/cv47b508-v47-blue-cover-detail

    My new/used 16' A bike has the Givi SR357 mount on it but no box. Guess I'll be buying a Givi box. Thinking of the V47, looks to be the perfect size. Anyone have a Givi on their 16 model with the blue lid? Does it match bike paint?

    Really bad day today

    So sorry for your loss. My heart ached and a lump in my throat as I read your post. I too have this to face one day with my best buddy. Remember the great times and all the love he brought to you and family. Thoughts are with you...

    2016 Is Official 6-spd, Slipper, LEDs, Analog Tach, Price

    Well boyz....I purchased a slightly used 2016 A model yesterday and rode it home today from Minnesota. It had 1260 miles on it when I hopped on it and rode off. During my 8 hour trip home today I realized I'm liking the additional 6th gear and the new assist-slipper clutch. AWESOME!!!!!!!

    That's a good looking setup right there, folks!

    I've struggled with that as well but like said before once you have one you wonder how you made it without. My preference is the OEM box, just goes with the bike IMO. But others look decent as well. You can never have enough storage space.

    Thanks for the review. I've been trying to decide on getting a 15ES or spend the extra for the 16. Sounds like I should really consider the 16. I think this will be my last bike purchase or at least I'm telling myself that so maybe I should just blow it out and do the 16ES. $4K difference...

    Riding to D&H Cycle to pick up a 2016

    Kind of off topic but not totally. Anyone know what D&H wants for a 16ES?

    I'm back and need another FJR

    Which would you go with? A - 2013A model, leftover new for $9000 OTD (dealer) or B - 2015ES model, used with 5k miles and a few nice extras for $12,000 (individual sale)

    I have a couple deals in the works. We'll see which one pans out. Hopefully a Father's Day present to myself!

    I'm workin' on it! Looks like $14890 according to their website. I'm surprised at how many 15 models are still out there. Ooodles and ooodles of em'.
