    Clothing & Helmets near Naples FL

    Gulf Coast Motorcycles (BMW, Triumph, Ducati) in Ft. Myers is a very nice, but small, dealership. Their in stock helmet selection is small and their off the rack riding apparel is mostly brand specific. They can however order just about anything you want, whatever the brand, and do internet orders.

    Third Party Warranty?

    Bought a pre-owned '08 on Monday. 390 miles on the odometer when I took delivery. I assumed it was still under factory warranty. Find out today the warranty expired at the end of July. Anybody know if there's a company out there that'll write a warranty for a motorcycle whose factory warranty...

    Couldn't Stay Away

    Quite a while ago I traded my '07 FJR for an '08 BMW R12RT. At the time I thought it was the right thing to do. I didn't have the RT very long before I traded it for a very low mileage '07 BMW K12S. Kept the K12S for 6 months, then traded it for a new '09 Ducati Monster 1100S, which I still...

    Backrest Opinions

    Well you know what they say about opinions, and there's plenty to be had on this forum. As far as backrests go, I've pretty much seen them all both online and in person as I do quite a bit of research before I part with my hard earned money. In my opinion, for what it's worth, the Stealth...

    Backup drivers backrest

    Had one on my BMW K12LT and on my R12RT. Comfortable quality pieces. Can't speak for the fit and comfort on the FJR. Mike

    Why FJR over C14,BMW - Will Purchase 1 of the three soon.

    80 or so miles to the nearest BMW dealer? Most BMW riders believe that to be a short ride and it wouldn't be a consideration for them in their purchasing decision. I came over to the FJR after owning many different BMW's since I started out with a '00 RT. The '06 2nd generation GT I had was a...

    Considering An Fz6 -07

    I started looking at an '07 FZ6 about 6 weeks ago under the guise it would be a great first bike for my 16 year old son. I explained to my wife I wanted to get him something that he wouldn't outgrow in 6 months or so. And if I took it for a spin from time to time I couldn't very well be seen...

    Met with Scott this evening and picked up the bracket for the left side of the motorcycle. Brought it home and mounted it in minutes. Now I'm complete. Got one helmet lock and powerlet outlet mounted on the right side, one helmet lock on the left side. Mike...

    Cycle Guardian

    Bought a Helmet Guardian last week. Made sure the ignition keys of my '07 FJR fit into the locks before completing the sale. Took the locks off the mounting bar, then went across the street from the dealership to a locksmith where they were re-keyed. Got a bracket, and now one of the locks is...

    Did you have the guts to change the spring tension on your throttle?

    My '07 is only two weeks old, but after a few miles I knew this mod was gonna have to be done. Took the bike to my buddy's (Townsendsfjr) garage and performed the "surgery". Took more time to prep the patient than to perform the actual procedure. Thanks to the instructions and photos on this...
