    Jackets

    Hey Jeff, Are you sure you mean their kevlar mesh and not their regular kevlar suit? I've read that it's cooler than the Aerostitch and offers better abrasion resistance. I've also read that polyurethan coated nylon can melt into your skin when dragged on the pavement so this is why I've been...

    Jackets

    I'm not sure what you mean by "hot" (how hot is hot?) but I have a Joe Rocket "Sonic" in perforated leather that I like. I team this up with a pair of perforated leather First Gear "Sport Tour Overpants". For 95 F + temps, I use a First Gear "MeshTex 2" jacket instead of the Sonic. But, I'm...

    Sargent Seat photos for 2006-2007 FJR

    I just tried my Sargent for the first time today. I'd have to say that it is well worth the money. It's slightly "dished" which eliminates any unwanted sliding forward but still allows you to move around as much as you would like. This was a good choice for me.

    I don't know which is worse. They already have a warning about the Griptex on their website: "GRIPTEX – Because of its high texture, deep depressions and reduced surface area, GRIPTEX (also known as basket weave) is perceived as being a cooler surface in hot weather. While many people like the...

    Sargent Seat photos for 2006-2007 FJR

    What were the folks at Sargent thinking when they chose this material? I wonder how many people with this seat material don't have marks on it. After all, what's the likelyhood that you'll never hit the seat with your boot? They should have at least used the "warning label" that they send...

    Help a FNG

    Wow. You got a "sidebag supplement to the owners manual" ? I didn't. Any idea where I might get one? Please don't tell me my dealer. That's a waste of time.

    I didn't send my seat to them. Sargent uses their own seat pan. I ordered via phone on March 22 and they shipped my seat in 1 week which is what they said they would do.

    Sargent Seat photos for 2006-2007 FJR

    I wasn't so happy to find a note from Sargent stating that the CarbonFX insert is especially prone to marking and scuffing so I should be careful not to contact it with my boot when mounting the bike. Otherwise, I may not be able to return it without a re-stocking fee if I didn't like it. It...

    Polaroid Lenses in My Oakleys

    I get some of this when I use plastic "clip-on" sunglasses. I don't get it with my regular prescription sunglasses.

    Windshield won't retract

    Look at it this way, it's a feature not a bug :rolleyes:

    That's funny. Mine left Florida on 3/29 and is due to arrive in NY on 4/2. Seems like it should get to Texas faster than NY ?

    Which insert style is this, the "griptex" or the "carbonFX" ? My carbonFX shipped yesterday.

    '06 FJR linked brakes must be OK

    Oops. I didn't mean the brakes suck. I love the brakes. I mean Yamaha's US website documentation sucks. It specifically states that the front lever activates 2 pistons in the rear.

    '06 FJR linked brakes must be OK

    So, the front brake lever doesn't activate all pistons in the front? That kinda sucks, doesn't it?

    '06 FJR linked brakes must be OK

    If the front brake lever doesn't activate the linked braking feature, does this mean that all pistons will be activated in the front when useing the lever?

    Sargent Seat for 06/07 FJR

    Unlike their seat for the '03-'05, the front seat welt on the '06 version only runs along the 2 sides. The welt behind the driver (in front of the passenger) is actually on the pillion. So, if you're only planning on getting the front seat, you may want to reconsider getting the contrasting...
