    Memphis Belle is in Texas now...

    I bought my 2005 ABS about 8 months ago with 4700 miles on it. Paid $8000, but the bike was in showroom condition with a fresh tune up and extended warranty. I know I could have done better if I would have waited and looked around a bit, But this one was right on my route to come home from...

    fjr vs concours 14 vs BMW

    Dont see how they cxan all the connie 14 a long range missile. The small gas tank and terrible fuel mileage makes it very short range from tank to tank, That and the extremem heat on the right foot killed the connie 14 for me. My only complait about the 1200 Gt is the cantilever front end...

    Led hyperblinking

    Sorry I should have been more specific. i was referring to the blinkers only. I have ordered th ehyperlights for the brake/tail light. But I liked the hyperblinking blinkers.

    Dynabeads

    Got em to try. I love me. One more thing I dont have to pay the stealership to do. Now I mount and balance my own tires. Anyhow Dynabeads have 2 thumbs up from me.

    Going to the Dark Side

    I can only guess that you dont follow long distance riding much, They have been doing this for years without any real issues other then those we experience with our motorcycle tires, So your safety theory is out the window.

    Anyone tried the Shenko raven tires?

    Well I put almost 2K miles on them, They are just as smooth as the tires they replaced. Grip fine, I drug a peg a few times on my trip. For $168 delivered to my door, I cannot complain at all.

    Worth it to upgrade from 2003 to new model?

    I have ridden them both, Didnt see anything worth upgrading my 2005 for. Keep the 2003 , there is so little difference you wont notice.

    Anyone tried the Shenko raven tires?

    I eat up tires pretty quickly . I saw these on Ebay for $168 shipped. Though if I could get 6K miles out of thenm I would be good to go. Anyhow I bought a set and mounted them, They seem to ride pretty well. Taking a 1500 + mile trip ext week so I will give a report on them. They are supposed...

    Going to the Dark Side

    I awit the results. I think if you had time to search more you could find a car tirre with a much less squared off profile to help out. I too am getting tired of replacing my itres every 8K miles or so. I am so cheap i went to the Shenko tires this time just to see how they work out on the FJR...

    Going to the Dark Side

    I know a few people that put car tires on the rear of thier bikes that are still here to talk about it.
