I took my first ride on my 06 with the new VStream and must say that I am VERY pleased. I'll have more to say after a 5-day trip that I am making in mid-May, but based upon my ride today I really like it. I am 6' 2". Observations: :D When riding I find that the VStream really reduces the...

I purchased a Smuggler for my 06 FJR last July and after it leaked during a moderate rain and just about wiped out my cellphone in early September, I worked with Corbin to try to alleviate this problem. They sent me a new gasket to install, but it was pretty much impossible to remove the old...

As to size. My OEM 06 is 19-1/2" and the VStream is 22", measured from the longest point on the V on the bottom of the windshield. Just installed my VStream yesterday and hope to get it out for a ride today. Looks good. My guess is that I'll ride with it down most of the time, and raise it...

I ride with a lot of folks that use CBs and I have one on my Wing and had one on my Valk, so I needed to add one to the FJR. Went with the J&M unit and am pleased with it. Pricey, but works fine. I find communications to be a good safety addition to riding with others, and also helps when...

My new one (told to keep the old one) arrived from National Cycle today and I hope to get it installed tomorrow or Friday -- don't know when I'll get to ride it to test it out, however, as it is snowing here Thursday and Friday, and I'm heading out on a motorcycle trip (on the Gold Wing) on...

Yep. On my 06 I had shields/guards on the exhaust right away as when I pushed my feet back they were on the exhaust pipe also -- melted a little off my boots. Order the following from JP Cycles and they did the trick -- look good also. PRODUCT NUMBER/ (SEE QUANTITY QUANTITY UNIT...

They called me yesterday and left me a message that it would be shipping today. Looking foward to installing it when I get back to CO in early April

I submitted the order for mine a couple of weeks ago and just received an update last week that they would receive their shipment on March 21st and it should be shipped shortly thereafter.

Big year coming up -- some trips on the FJR and some on the 1800 Wing. mid-April -- 8-day trip with four of my buddies to Big Bend NP and the Texas Hill Country mid-May -- 5-day trip to southern Utah canyon country with my High Country Cruisers club late-May to late-June -- long trip back...

Fun Joy Ride

That's Avon's MSRP -- much too much.

I don't know when I'll get to have them installed, but I ordered a set of the Storms for my 06 FJR today. The tires were not yet in any of the catalogs, but Apex's tire guy is really good, ran them down, and they should be at the dealership in a couple of days. Who knows when I'll be able to...

Just made my reservations for the 20-23 dates -- busy schedule prior to this, but will try to make it.

Well, the Smuggler for my 06 is back at Corbin for the water leaking while riding. Hopefully it will get fixed soon, and right.

I am working through an 06 Smuggler leaking issue also. Riding in only moderate rain I had water in the bottom corners of the Smuggler, everything was wet, ruined some AA batteries for my MP3, and almost ruined the cellphone which was actually laying on top. I tested it also with everything...

I have the Corbin rider seat and smuggler on my 06 and am very pleased.

Posts like the one from SPEDBOY amaze me -- sure glad he is perfect in all that he does and never makes a mistake with his bike. :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Well, I have to agree with Fred on this one and look forward to seeing any possible solution -- in addition to really being careful. Sidestands can be a tricky item on most bikes and they really vary. On my Valk, the sidestand was great and the bike really leaned to the left (always park in...

All of -133 is paved, but the road that cuts off from -133 at Paonia Dam to Crested Butte is NOT paved -- goes over Keebler Pass.

When washing the bike you might also shoot some water through the space in the left and right fairing through and around the fans from the back side of the radiator. Always gets out a few more of the bugs stuck in the front.
