    ?????? for current FJR owners

    The 6 speed would be nice, but only if they actually raise the gearin for 6th gear. HD did this 6 speed but they final gear is no different that the 5 speed.Still runs the same (or just about the same) rpm at speed. Just more shifting. The 5 spped has no issues, or complaints, But todrop the...

    Center Stand

    There are several videos on youtube about the same thing. I just picked the clearest version. It seemd to work pretty well. I let my wife watch it and then she went out an put the FJR on its stand, )with a little guidance from me). She does not ride at all. She 5'8 and 115 LBS, so I dont think...

    Little Plastic thing behind the rear tire?

    I cut the fender on the bnadit1250 I had, Wish I hadnt done it within a months time. Had dirt and debris all over the back of the bike every time I gat anywhere near water or dirt roads. Does look clean, but I am going tl leave this one stcok, If I mod it at all I will be adding an extender to it.

    Say No to YES

    I think honda ST is 1 year unless you get the extended warranty alos. We went to the dealer less than 2 months ago with my brother in law, and I am pretty sure thats what they told him.

    Center Stand

    Its all technique. Practice it often and it wont be an issue. I just guessed when you said most of your other bikes didint have a center stand you have harleys. I bought a wide glide back in 2003. Couldnt believe for all that monsy and hte couldnt bother to put a center stand on it. I use mine...

    Most comfortable sportbike?

    I absolutely hated my Busa. prabally the worse ergos of any bike I have ever owned. Never could get comfortable on it and it felt like a pig in the turns. I would consider an SV650 for comfort. Great bike. Can be had for a somg an ddance, If you get the naked version they have bars, not clip ons...

    05 vs. new

    I have ridden both, the heat difference in the 2005 adn the 2008 is very monimal. Didnt notice any real difference between the two. Bought a 2005 adn I ride it everyday. And as for heat. i live in Mobile alabama, It gets dang hot here. I couldnt ask for a better steed.

    Reflectors

    Not to bash, But removing reflectors is just downright suicidal. Ever look at your FJR from the side at night? Sounds like a guick way to become a statistic to me. I add reflective material to my bike. I ride alot adn I really like to know I have done everything possible to better my chances of...

    Tourer

    I have put quite a few miles on mine already, its completely stock except for the extremely loud horn. (p.o. installed it) I have completed a 700 mile day on it and had no issues with comfort. Stock seat is WAY better than my last bike. The faint buzz in the bars is nothin gcompared to my old...

    Would you use this for you FJR???

    Not on a shaft drive bike, I would use it on a chain drive if I removed the chain.
