    (Raven) Black fully-faired 2008 FJR

    My FJR is the only bike (out of 5) that I have that is NOT black....and I'm just trying to decide if it's worth $4K to upgrade to the new black one.........Oh, and both of my cars are black, too.... It's a little more work but waaay worth it, IMO..

    Needed or not, ins???

    When I started riding I purchased supplemetal disability insurance through my work so that if I become disabled, I will receive mostly the same salary for the rest of my life. I also have top notch medical insurance through work. Furthermore, I purchased supplental 401(K) insurance so that if...

    Honda ST1300 vs. Yamaha FJR1300

    My feelings exactly. I like everything about my (new to me) FJR, except that the air flow around me is the worst of any bike that I have ever owned. I had a 2006 St1300A for a dayt a few months ago and really liked it. It is not as powerful, but the engine is smoother. I also felt that the...

    Mod to CeeBailey windscreen

    I just did this mod on my Cee Bailey +4 (I think). It seems to make a slight difference if any, but I still think that the Cee Bailey is not for me. I get too much wind up inside my jacket and it billows out. It doesn't do this on my any of my other bikes.

    Out of state Performance Awards (Speeding Ticket)

    Yeah, I have been doing a bunch of reading on this today. I think that the bottom line is that I get ahold of the Clerk of the court and ask them what I can do to make this go away (traffic School , probation, etc..). Even if it doesn't go away, it will be the only ticket on my record and my...

    Out of state Performance Awards (Speeding Ticket)

    I think that the idea is that I take traffic school, and then submit the Proof of Completion to CO, which keeps it from being a conviction in their system, which keeps it from going into the Compact in the frst place. I have a call into the Clerk of the court in CO to find out if they will...

    Out of state Performance Awards (Speeding Ticket)

    Thanks Ignacio, that Wikipedia link was helpful. Incidentally, the source of the original quote was WikiHow, which, I agree, is not true, good legal advice seeing as we don't know who actually contributed it. I think that it would be considered a minor offense, since the officer told me that...

    Out of state Performance Awards (Speeding Ticket)

    I live in CA but I am in Colorado this week and just got a well deserved Performance Award (he wrote me up for 59 in a 40 zone instead of the 61 that I was actually doing). I am wondering if I just pay the fine, if it will show up on my CA record. I ran across a web site that says: In general...

    FJR Aerodynamics

    WOW!!! Thank you all so much for the great replies! A lot of you were right on the money with your assessments: 1) I am tall (6'2"). Can't do anything about that... 2) Do have a top case. I'll try it without, but I really like riding with the topcase on. 3) Do have bar risers, but I think...

    FJR Aerodynamics

    Hi! I recently purchased and 04 FJR that came with a Cee Bailey +2 or +4 windshield. While I really like everything else about the bike, the airflow over me at anything above 50 MPH is absolutely horrible! I get a lot of wind circling around me that gets inside my jacket and wants to lift it...
