Oh and those that dont belive the rear brakes serves a purpose under normal riding, I can only say , your wrong, Why would you only use part of your traction reserve by only using the front brake. Unless your doing a stoppie the rear tire has some braking power to add to any stop.

Try that above exercise, Then try it again with your ABS fuse removed. You probally wont reinstall the fuse once you see how short you can stop without ABS on the same bike. Its a substantial difference. Now the rain is a bot different. ABS helps there.

Nice bike. I had driving lights on my forks on a previous bike., Seemed to bounce around too much. Now I mount them above the suspension and let the shocks take the bounce out of them. Enjoy the bike. Oh and as for size of the lights I have small PIAAs on my mirror mounts on my 2005 and they...

I was considering making some for mine after the PO had heel marks all over them. But my feet never seem to touch my pipes. I cant explain why. Seems very odd to me.

I tried severl top boxes on my connie 1000. Found a 1520 pelican case bolted down worked best, And it was the most secure. Now you know why I have a pelican case on the rear of my bike. I pack with a huge duffle bag behind me so I have lumbar support and use the pelican case for my extra gear...

I hard thru the grapevine that the races in March up still debatable. There is a controverys with Daytona speedway and the racers. Might not even have the races there this year. i hope they get it sorted out. If they dont , and there is no racing, i wont be going to bikeweek this year.

I might not be old enough to appraciate it yet. I did like the bike though, But I will never own a black motorcycle again. My 2007 bandit 1250 cured me of wanting a black motorcycle again.

I rode a 2008 this weekend, Didint like the automatic shift. But there was nothing wrong with the bike. Not much different than my 2005 otherwise.

I must be doning something right. I have a 2005. I just rode to daytona and aback. I could run till my low level light started blinking around 225-230 and stop for a fill up and add 5.3-5.5 gallons. Had quite a bit left in the tank. Just didnt want to chance it. Most of the ride home was 85 MPH...

Well lI didint make the meet, But I did see alot of FJRs down there. Didint see to many farlkes on them, Was hoping to get some ideas. And to whoever rides the blue FJR with the Silver graphics. Sorry i didint wave at you out on I10 heading into jacksonville. But as you could see I was in a...

Sorry guys, But its not near as top heavy as my old connie 1000 was. Either bad technique or you need to find a gym. Not saying tip oves dont happen, but I find the FJR to have a nice CG and be a very nimble machine, Even at slow speeds. Dont know why it happend to you twice in a day. Sorry to...

I say race it like you ride it. I ran mine with the bags one also. Looks like fun.
