    The FJR's Lifespan?

    I don’t think they’re anywhere near dropping the fjr. Not even close. But in the very unlikely event they did, I wouldn’t miss a beat. I’d keep riding an old one or, more likely, switch to a Tenere.

    GYTR slip on

    Ill bet scooter would pay what it takes to have a ups store box them up proper. I know I would, and Im only 20 hours round trip from you.

    GYTR slip on

    Second if the scoot doesnt take them. I want him to have them, but Ill come pick up if necessary. Because pops runs them, that makes them cool.

    Black Bar Risers?

    Yes. Helimodified makes them in black just for the 2018. I had silver ones on my 14. I put their black ones on my 2018 last night. HELIBARS.HR09079-BA

    Heated liner- link request

    Joey the Bull is right. Make sure you go to the right site. Spelled warmnsafe. There is one that sells gear under a similar name.

    2018 fjr shifting problems

    Same as above. My 18 shifts just like my 14. I should say- it shifted like silk, totally different from my 2014, until I got about 100 miles on it. Then it began shifting like the 2014. Sometimes requiring a couple of presses to downshift. Sometimes being very reluctant to go into first gear...

    Let's see what jacket you're using.

    The sedici rapido waterproof jacket, from cycle gear, was superb. It wasn’t stich or Klim, but it was better than most alternatives. They discontinued this year. I would’ve bought a couple if I’d known they were phasing them out. I used them for years before buying aerostich Dariens.

    2019 FJR Details Released

    I think they look like ****, and are a fool’s errand. Like buying a car at full price that you know has a bad transmission. You’re behind before you leave the showroom. They’re going to be giving these away. Just awful.

    My new FJR

    I forgot I had visited this thread. As noted elsewhere, a couple of weeks ago I traded to a 2018ES. The ES and LED lighting make a big difference. I looked at other bikes. Once I knew what the 19 color would be, I couldn't think of a reason to wait. It was nice to be able to transfer my...

    Garmin InReach Mini Experience?

    What's the difference between Delorme's InReach and Garmin's? Co-branding? I have no experience with the Delorme, but I just received over a dozen Spot X devices. I consider the Spot gen 3 to be a perfect form factor, but we wanted two-way capability, so went with the X. Compose your own...

    Bike Instability above 70mph on interstate

    When I switched to a Cee Bailey shield for winter, I got buffering that made me think something was wrong with the bike. I even posted a question about it. Normal with winter crosswinds, even more so around trucks and vans.

    FOR SALE: AeroStich Darien Jacket and Liner

    I have a Darien. It’s a game changer. I used to have to fiddle with every zipper and seam, making sure they were just so, if I were to have any chance of staying dry in the rain. Same for the collar. With any of my jackets. Then I got a Darien jacket. I just throw it on and leave. I can ride in...

    Phantom Blue Dragon Run

    Same for me. It works for a bit then not. Random.

    Phantom Blue Dragon Run

    Last Saturday, I put on my Darien's, put new batteries in the SPOT tracker, and headed out to US129, the Dragon. Cold, but sunny. I left late morning, to ensure that the below freezing temps around the Cherohala and US129 had time to rise before I got there. When I bought my BMW years ago, my...
