    Better Riding Techniques

    My thoughts also. I spent 4 years on a BMW KT1200 with ABS. Now on my FJR without the brakes. It is over 200 pounds lighter, but the ABS makes quite a difference in braking confidence. Any one else? I need to trade up to ABS or slow way down :( Axeman

    charismaticmegafauna I did as you said and used a pair of vise grips and got it back into the track. Thank you much. It works fine now. Axeman

    The temp's dropping and the V Stream came today

    I got mine at the same place as nashville_bill. My wife and I really like it. NO buffeting as reported by my wife. Doesn't look as cool as stock, but the noise reduction and wind protection are a square trade for me. I must be getting older <_< .
