How does the X-11 compare to the RF1000?

I just installed the Hepco-Becker rack. It took all of about 3 minutes to install using longer replacements for the 3 bolts you can see on top of the existing rack. Flat black powder coat finish is "tasteful". You can mount a variety of HB topcase styles and sizes in about 30 seconds with a...

Brings back fond memories of my '71 Sherpa S 200. Not much low end but when it "came on the pipe", watch out 'cause all hell was breaking loose !

I have to agree here. The FJR can handle your touring needs. Keep the light weight SV for the tighter twisties!

I have a set of leather First Gear Sport Tour Overpants and a perforated leather pair for the Summer. There's a big difference. Even when it get "too hot" for a leather jacket, I find that the perforated leather pants are comfortable enough to wear with a mesh jacket. BTW, the overpants are...

Does this mean that I'm safe connecting 2 Freeway Blasters rated by Fiamm at 5 amps current draw each to the stock harness and fuse?

Is this the full system or the slip-ons? Did you go for the black mufflers?

Roy, Did you ever get a response from Twisted Throttle? If so, how do you like the rack and Givi topcase? Is the mounting secure and stable? I'm thinking of ordering the rack and adapter plate for my '06. John

How did you resolve this, Burk? Did you have to drill anything to mount the H-B rack? I'm planning on ordering this rack and topcase soon. John

What do you mean 'It ain’t “purty” but it works'. Do you think the screen takes away from the looks of the bike? Is that because of the size?

What size/color did you guys get? Are you happy with the decision or do you think you would you have been better off with another size?

Which color did you get? How about some pics?

I don't think Sargent has a seat for the '06 yet. It's in development.

I agree that you should keep the Sprint and get the FJR. It's nice to have a lighter weight machine for shorter distances or tighter twisties. I have a Multistrada for this. For the longer distance tours or two-up or where I need more or better wind protection, I have the FJR. Every man...

How about this: https://www.eurotechmotorsports.com/forms/L...E4516%2001%2001 After you mount their rack, you can mount any one of their topcases.

I was considering a Beemer before I bought my FJR. The one dealer in my area ignored me for 45 minutes while I waited in his showroom. This is hardly what I would call "family oriented". I guess you can get away with that when you're the only game in town.

The lack of a "test fleet" has always been a problem with most if not all Japanese bikes. Part of the problem is that they offer so many models that it's virtually impossible to have one of each for tests. BMW on the other hand has many fewer models. And, you pay a hefty premium for the...
