    Pristine-Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero

    Well, My pain, someone's gain. Bought wife a 2011 Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero,"The Rare Red", back in April 13' to replace her Suzuki Boulevard M90. She test drove it and really loved all the red and dash stuff. I think because most of our riding group rides HD's. This was a great alternative...

    High Visibility Gear for the FJR

    I have the reflective decal adhesive that goes on the bags. Then I have a around the body LED in white on my 2008. They keep you seen at all angles. I found out as a bonus when riding to ND, through corn country they keep the bugs flying low, and not at your windshield and helmet.

    What is the preferred boot of the FJR riders?

    Well, I can't say enough about these boots. I Did 3490 miles Sat-Thurs wearing only these boots and I tell you, they were fantastic!! Really didn't expect it. Rode through rain in Oklahoma and they were just perfect. No I didn't sink them in a tub of water, as I don't plan on working in...

    Well, I just jumped and purchased the Harness, and Jack shipped it. Installed it prior to rolling out to South Dakota on Saturday. New Shorai batter was settling at 13.2 holding and bike running at speed it would go to 13.6. While cranking it would dip down to below 10v sometimes. Installed...

    Cycle World Comparo

    Yep, perhaps they don't contribute enough advertising to the magazine chains. Agreed, pricing is key. Also these comparisons don't factor in the price and the cost savings in maintenance. That's where the real story is. Each bike is going to be the owner's delight. However the main thing...

    Five-O Feejer

    Since Yamaha has addressed the Spider issue in a recall; Don't see them shipping 2013's with the same repeat issue. With the extra 5-10k the companies are charging, I have to believe they are increasing the ability for the electrical to support the additional items. Good article though, thanks...

    What is the preferred boot of the FJR riders?

    Really good information stirring up. I have a pair of Alpinestars Ridge and they are comfortable. They do leak in moderate to heavy rains; and that's with rain gear on the outside zipped tight. The biggest issue is they don't have toe re-enforcement and the seam is busting right on the toe...

    What is the preferred boot of the FJR riders?

    Knowing this is a destined topic, just curious with the many FJR riders, and forum members. Which is the preferred style of boot of the FJR rider? There is the daily riding and the trip touring riding. Do you have a different boot style for each or do you wear the same boot for every ride...
