PM sent regarding the factory touring shield....

Others on this board have already weighed in on this in previous posts to which I am certain they will direct you. I was in much the same boat as you a few months ago. I could have bought either, and there was about a $1,000 price difference. I opted for the 2014 A model for which I paid...

I don't plan on re-selling it.

Makes me feel good to know I paid $12k OTD for my new 2014 FJR A model. It was a local purchase from my dealer. Not graphite but awful purty.

I gave away my ZUMO 450 to my brother, but I cannot bring myself to drop $900 on Garmin's latest, overpriced motorcycle-specific navigation unit. So I am going to rig up my iPhone 5s using the 25 mm RAM ball on my Motorad MV riser plate, an extra-long 1" RAM arm, and X-grip and this power cord...

I'm sure the 2013 model was every bit the bike the 2014 model is but for the cruise control limitation. But somehow having been without the FJR for over a year makes me appreciate the 2014 model in ways I probably never appreciated the earlier versions. This 2014 bike just seems totally sorted...

For over a year I was the owner of a nicely appointed, low mileage 2008 Gold Wing. I could never bond with it. It made me feel old even though I know that is all in my head. Before I bought that bike I had a really bad left hip, then I had a very successful hip replacement surgery last summer...

I am at a loss to understand people today who question the U.S. decision to use this weaponry against Japan in the relevant historical and military context. And I've never been clear on just how close Germany was to having this weaponry before the U.S. had the capability. I wonder if the U.S...

These are fascinating pictures I know I have never seen before. Pretty amazing stuff. https://www.alternatewars.com/Bomb_Loading/Bomb_Guide.htm

That's a beast!

The 05 was a special bike. I love my 2014 too but it's so new I have not developed the emotional attachment yet.

I don't know much but my stock carry rig is a .357 mag Ruger LCR in a Kydex holster. Fits snugly in the holster (click!) and the holster stays put on my hip. Very good sense of security. I have several Ruger firearms. For some reason they appeal to me. I don't want to think too much about what I...

I STILL wish I'd kept my 2005 FJR. This is a phenomenal deal and bike. GLWS.

This is a phenomenal deal for someone. I still miss my 2005 FJR. Should have never sold it.

If it is trivia you like, then consider this from the 1964 Japanese movie The Woman in the Dunes: "it is better to be in a footnote in a book on small bugs than to appear in no book at all." My life sometimes feels like footnote in a book on small bugs.

It rhymes, so it must be poetry.

Excellent point Redfish Huner. I am no poet but I remember these words lifted from an old work of T.S Eliot: The endless cycle of idea and action, Endless invention, endless experiment, Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; Knowledge of speech, but not of silence; Knowledge of...

The 06-12 riser plate fits on the 2014A model as well.

I believe you will find that the answer is yes.
