    My experiment with BMW has taken a downturn

    That matches my experience with bmw. That’s what drove me to Yamaha.

    No such issue.

    Thousand mile day.

    I shudder to think of the distances I’d go between stops if I ever cave in and buy an aux tank. Sometimes the zen sets in and stopping is an interruption.

    Thousand mile day.

    Actually, a bun burner is 1500 in 36 hours. A bun burner gold is 1500 in 24 hours. DAMHIK.

    Thousand mile day.

    1,000 miles in a day is easy in most regions. People do it all the time. Some do 1,500 mile days. It’s a very good bike for distance.

    Alternate Windshield

    The stock screen is a tiny joke. If you have a huge screen, it’s not the original. I’d look for an original screen. They come up for sale often.

    Riding pants

    Aerostich Darien or AD-1’s fall/winter/spring. Airglide 6’s in the summer.

    FJR1300 To Be Retired

    There’s been no plausible indication that they’re discontinuing it, at least in our market. But any sizeable reduction in sales (from the EU or other regions) makes me concerned as to how it might affect profitability and the longevity of the model. Luckily, I have a 2022, so I should be good...

    FJR v Versys 1000

    The versus feels way lighter. It doesn’t feel like a 1000cc bike. Very smooth, but much less wind protection, and not as stable at speed. If you’re primarily solo and don’t do a lot of highway at speed, the versys is a great bike. It could never be my lrimary. But they’re very nice.

    Clutch Slipping!?

    Stock levers?

    FZ-1 Mirrors: Need photos of before or after or helpful descriptive comparisons

    I considered FZ mirrors. I ended up finding motech mirror extenders to solve the view problem while keeping things aesthetically pleasing.

    I scored one of the uber-rare OE foot shield kits for my '07

    They work. They just aren’t nearly as effective once you move the grips up and back.

    Need new underwear and a windshield

    Any place that sells OEM parts. Revzilla or Partspak for me.

    I scored one of the uber-rare OE foot shield kits for my '07

    I found the knuckle visors to be helpful, but I use a helibridge, and needed something closer to the bars in their artificially rearward position. So I switched to barkbusters. Nice information about the foot shields.

    New shoes on order

    I don’t want anything unpleasant on my crane. Believe you me.
