    How many FJR pilots are aircraft pilots??

    Flew a Bonanza B35V for a while, then upgraded to a Pipe Aerostar 602/Machen Superstar I, that plane cost me a freaking fortune to fly!!!!.........that was 20 yrs ago, NO MAS! Now I fly a FJR.... I guess I could get my Pilots license back easy enough, just need to find a Doc who'd stick his...

    Y.E.S.

    D & H Cycle is some backwoods yama dealer located on Hwy 31 N Cullman, Alabama • 256•739•1840 who sells FJRs cheaper than anyone else in the country.......that's all.....The savings weren't enough to entice me to drive across 3 states1($1300), but that's me....I could of saved $800 by driving...

    Y.E.S.

    You go in there and tell the SOBs that if they want your money, not only are they gonna have to throw in the Warranty for cost, but they'll also have to give you 15% off any parts you order for the bike for the next 60 days.... Have you check book in your hand.......and be ready to...

    Extra waranty worth it?

    I'll post this one more time....the dealers cost for the warranty is $345...that is what I paid. But, I know how to negotiate and I'm not scared to walk out the door if the deal doesn't suit me..... It's all a game of intimidation.......And Remember the Golden Rule "HE WITH THE GOLD, RULES!"...

    ST300 vs FJR....

    the main difference I see, is the Dealer.....I've done business with 3 honda dealers during the last 40 years of owning Hondas and they've were all +1...The one I did business with for the last 15 years welcomed me to come into the repair area to watch my repair and talk to the mechanics, again...

    I think I made a mistake

    Don't make the same mistake 2Xs in a row which you'd be doing if you bought the A...buy the 06AE and come join the FORCE. OK, don't believe me, then at least test drive an AE before you drop the hammer.......and it won't take you long to understand. You'll remember the first two words out of...

    Russel vs. Corbin vs. Sargent

    I like you, don't want a seat that looks like it came off some old rusted tractor......And FYI, contrary to what others are saying, Corbin seats aren't OFF THE SELF saddles....I've had several conversations with corbin concerning their seat for the 06 JFR...My main concern was I didn't want it...

    Build Own Custom Seat with Corbin and Stock Pan

    Talked with corbin today and they informed me that they'd build up the seat they make for the 06 FJR (on their website) an additional inch for NO ADDITIONAL charge.....but NO RETURNS..... what's the deal, did you order it blind (the website advises you the seat is lower) or did you get the...

    FJR1300 vs V-Rod

    Well, your crystal ball ain't working too well today....No, I'm not a democrat, I'm a 4th generation republican. I didn't leave the party, they left me. They disappeared somewhere way off to the right... And I'm glad for ya, not being suckered into a V-rod....although I understand why you got a...

    FJR1300 vs V-Rod

    But we're supposed to listen to your brain fart? Sure your buddy had 30K in his V-Rod - ********. Sure he couldn't get 14K for it (unless its an'02). Anytime you want to run it against your old 450 honda let me know, I'll get one and race ya --- I guess this is your attemp at humor, huh...

    After market headers

    I want to get a set of pipes (headers & mufflers) from Dale Walker (Holeshot exhaust) I emailed him to verify his exhaust header for the 05 would fit an 06....His reply was, unless Yamaha changed the bike, if it fits the 05, it'll fit the 06. I know Yamaha made a lot of changes, but I don't...

    FJR1300 vs V-Rod

    Well, I think all that is performance crap about the V-Rod, is just that CRAP! The one I rode was so underpowered & loud , that I turned around after a couple of blocks and went back.....I remember giving it a FULL PUNCH and the power just wasn't there, compared to the 83 V65 I'd been riding...

    FJR1300 vs V-Rod

    True Story, Thought I might want to own a HD before the final curtain call....Explored their website and found the bike, the model listed for $17,998 MSRP....Went down to the HD dealership here in Dallas and asked them if they had one. Sure enough, had one out front.....I went out set on it, as...

    WFO-5

    A piece of advise for all you Reno bound...... Never split 8s if the dealer has a 9 or a 10 showing. Never split Ace's either if the dealer has an Ace or a 10 for that matter. Good luck

    FJR1300 vs V-Rod

    Don't beat up on yourself, all people who buy HDs have something in common, they are all mentally dilusional. You could sell em the London Bridge if it had HD on it...I rode a V-rod a friend of mine was trying to sell....he had over $30K in it was was asking $14,000....You couldn't given it to...

    Just Curious

    In Dallas, they have a riding contest for the all the Motorcycle Police from across state, this includes very precise turns and handling at very low speeds along with maneuvers at speed....I went down and watch it a couple of years ago. They were amazing.....It was very evident they are...
