    FJR's don't like dirt - let alone floods and ...

    There's more than a few here that would disagree with you. Might even say the FJR handles dirt better than expected for a such a bike. But I guess I should qualify that by asking what your definition of "dirt" is. Unpaved but maintained roads shouldn't be an issue save for some uncomfortable...

    2015 1300A

    I feel like I've read about 50-50 comments favoring one over the other. One better on the interstates and the other better in the fun stuff with less shifting. Neither of those seem to be dramatic differences though. It does seem however that folks report liking the upgraded lighting from '16...

    So who / where are these guys now?

    I thought the same when I first saw the pic Fred.

    Hello from Eastvale California

    That GMC looks interesting too.

    Nice first post btw. (y)

    TPS Source?

    Maybe that's it then. Hopefully Kelvin's nice offer works out for you.

    TPS Source?

    Ionbeam made quite a few excellent contributions and if I'm not misremembering that write-up you're referring to was actually posted here on this forum originally. I believe in that write-up it was mentioned that a faulty TPS would show it symptoms more readily when it's heat-soaked which sorta...

    Could be Epic

    Thanks. Not going to be able to get this thought out of my mind now.

    I dropped her again.

    And if you're gonna try, go full out. Gas it and go. Any hesitancy will end in unhappy results.

    Givi brake light kit problems

    When I researched adding lights to my V47 came across several complaints about the Givi connections. As the saying goes, it looked good on paper but . . . . Went with the Admore kit and have been satisfied. Yes I have to unscrew the connection but as someone who only uses the top box...

    Could be Epic

    A FINE ride report and bookmarked for future reference. Thank you. And yes, home safe. Hopefully not a long, stressful trip back.

    Tearing up the mean streets of Santa Margarita, chapter Ibuprofen style

    That sound takes me a ways back with some great memories.

    She's Gone: musings of a former FJR owner

    Fantastic color on that too. First time I've actually took note of the lines on that machine also.

    Thousand mile day.

    I put my IBA plate frame on my little 150 scooter. Every now and again it'll get a second look.

    Alternate Windshield

    Just my opinion but FWIW, I'd save that V Stream and look for a used stock shield to experiment on with the cutting. The VS might bring you some bucks if you look to sell it or you might find yourself looking to use it later on. No sense cutting that up.

    "New" 2019 FJR1300A, from St. Louis (to Texas)

    That box caught my eye too, very nice looking on the bike. Being you brought it up, is their mounting plate installed on top of the FJR's stock rack? Just asking and you might have come across this in your research but one weakness the FJR sorta has is in the way the tail section is designed...

    BRP in 1 day

    Yup, they were. One of the things that's sorta hard to grasp is the speed at which flight developed. After figuring it out as a younger man Orville was still alive to witness the thousands of planes flying throughout WW II.

    BRP in 1 day

    Pick this up and hopefully get it in before the visit. An excellent read. (McCullough just recently passed.)

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Sorry to see this but glad it's not so serious that you can't post up about it. Heal quickly! And just a personal opinion - no ambulance should show any black paint. Just sayin'.
