Sorry to mislead you, yeah no ultimate seat for the fjr. I believe the secret on the stratoliner is that the seat is large and thick, just a whole lot of padding in there and I love it.

I also have the sargent seat and it is good, not the best but light years ahead of the stock seat. The ultimate seats i put on my stratoliner are the best seats i have ever had. With the ultimates you get tired of riding before your butt does.

I was reading this thread then remembered the other day when i was going too fast and a light turned yellow to red in just a couple seconds. I hit the brakes hard and did not skid or slide just came to a nice stop very quickly. If i had been on my stratoliner i know for a fact i would have...

Was the wife damaged? Certainly not happy.

I don't know if I could live on the moon. Don't know if there are good roads to ride my fjr.

Used the stop and go with mushroom plugs twice now and they have worked very well for me. Once on the back tire of my zx-14, when I took the tire off for a change I was surprised it was "melted" and had sealed the hole very well. And now still have a plugged tire on the back on my Yamaha...

I might have had something to do with the Butte police getting their fjrs . I had my 2011 at the time and let one of their officers try it out. Then I told them about how in Idaho they could be set up for police bikes. I heard the local Harley shop was charging too much for tires and...

If you like monkeying around with your bike and have more time than money I would do it yourself. Not hard just fiddly. Take pictures. After I replaced mine I found a video by Science Biker on you tube that has the whole process on video.

Checked the tire pressures and dusted it off. I went to spray it off with a spray bottle but the water froze. Maybe I can take it to work on Saturday as it is supposed to be a high of 43 and a low of 32.

Rode to Kansas City and drove around for awhile. Very Nice day. Got home at Sunset, it is great to go on a road trip in December.

I have the cox radiator guard on my 16es. Look on ebay you will get it a little cheaper but not a lot. Fit is spot on, mentally worth it as the Yamaha guard leaves a lot to be desired. To tell you the truth I put it on and then never think of it. Every now and then when I am looking over the...

I would like to find a Yamaha demo days next spring, summer and try one of these out.

Uncle hud I guess I could try pumping my front tire up a bit and riding without the top box and see if that changes anything. I run what the manual says 36 front 42 rear. I decided after reading a few posts to not really worry about it anymore It drives like a dream just keep at least one hand...

I have found that under 50-55mph if you take your hands off the bars the bars will start to shake and then get worse very fast. I did have a no speed drop 1 week after I bought the bike but now am coming up on 5k miles. Bike is smooth at any speed with hands on the bars. Yes I realize hands go...

My bike when going 50mph or under if you let go of the handle bars in nothing flat it will shake so bad you have to get your hands back on the bars. Not a big problem as that is where your hands are supposed to be anyway I just feel it should not do this. I did drop the bike at no speed after...

You do need the touring windshield, women just do not know these things. That was a great score on the seat.

Congratulations when you have time post a picture of that black beauty.

https://s1362.photobucket.com T-rex front tipover bars and mc enterprises bag guards. Next drop should not be too bad.

fz mirrors in my future at some point. I don't think the front canyon cages with help with the mirrors not hitting.

Danny, little chuckle when I read that. But it is absolutely not funny when you are looking at one bike laying on the other one! Luckily I just got some scuffs on the fender of my stratoliner. Sounds like you did a bit more.
