I am thinking about trading in or selling my 05' FJR and my 08' Harley Road Glide for a new Screamin Eagle Road Glide. I love my FJR but I can't ride it without haulin ass. I am 52 and that bike is like a 25 year old girl friend to me. There is way more there than I will ever use and it is...

I had the same problem the first few days I rode my 05'. I got the grip puppies and just got used to the bike and it is no longer a problem. T.

Does anyone have links that show how to do this? Much appreciated. T.

I have an 05' with 2500 miles on it. I notice when holding the RPM's steady that it feels like it is surging. What is causing that? Advice appreciated. T.

I get that same noise from the front end. It must be normal. T.

One thing I forgot to mention is this bike has demonstrated to me the difference between bikers and motorcycle enthusiasts.

I have had my FJR for about 3 months and only have put about 1200 miles on it. I find myself riding it way more than my Harley Road Glide. I bought this bike because a I had a Kawasaki Nomad I couldn't get anyone to buy and a friend told me about an almost new 05' FJR at the local dealer. I went...

This would only cause you you get hit more. You would be getting run into by the ones wanting to get involved and those wanting them to stop. T.

As stated before, I have the new Road Glide and before that I had an Ultra Classic. I traded an 07' Nomad in for my 05' FJR. In my opinion the Kawasaki is a much better value than the Harley but the Harleys have something the metric bikes don't have. Most call it soul. I think most of the...

I'm surprised she didn't say "nice Harley". T.

Because I have both I keep reading this thread with interest. These are more of my thoughts on this subject. Be a trendsetter. When you blow by the Harley Dudes they will accuse you of showing off. When you get off and don't need a walker after a long ride they will say it is because you are...

I have an 08' Harley Road Glide and an 05' FJR. I love both of them. I have been on long trips on the cruiser but have not ridden on the FJR longer than an hour. I am 6'1" and weigh in at 290. I never thought I could ride a bike like the FJR comfortably but I think I can. The only problem I have...

I started riding last October. First bike was a Honda Sabre. Had it a month and didn't like the wind blowing me around so I got a heavier bike, a Honda VTX1300. In March I got an 07' Nomad. Because of some perceived problem with the Nomad I got a new Ultra Classic. At first I liked the Harley...

I just received my large Calsci windshield. That thing is about 3-4" taller than my stock shield. I rode it and it is extremely still behind the screen by only raising it slightly. My question is about the integrity of the windshield mechanism itself. It seems as though the windshield is huge...

Good suggestion MOM. Took the MSF class and I promise you there was not much I learned from that course that made me qualified to ride a two wheeled vehicle at speeds over 70 MPH in a turn without real life riding experience first. However I have been riding my Vtwin cruisers nearly everyday for...

I had my neighbor ride my new 05' today to check it since I don't know how to ride the bike yet and he does. He said over 100 the bike got kinda squirrely with the windscreen all the way up. When he lowered it some he said that the problem corrected itself. I noticed the same thing at about 85...

How do you disable the autoretract feature on an 05'? Thanks in advance, T.

I have put about 80 miles on the bike and have noticed a few things. The heat may be an issue when it is hot but it is tolerable now. The bike had a riser on it that looks to be about 1". I am riding with too much weight in my hands. This is hurting the bottom part of my hands and they have also...
