    AE Cornering Suggestions?

    I came from a Concours I. I actually crashed, not being able to control the uptake or lurch of the throttle. I got the same kinds of replies that you have recieved on the FJR forum. I am not able to late apex on the FJR. I have the 2006 and scared myself so bad, that it took quite a while to...

    First trip

    If you are in the market for cruise control, don't forget to look at the audiovox. The PO added it to my 06 and it is awesome. I had cruise control on a 2003 Goldwing and really got used to it. it is a lot smoother that the throttle lock and the last time I looked, it was cheaper. Good luck...

    Chicken stripes

    If they didn't put that feeler on the peg and if you didn't touch it once in a while, then may you aren't using all the lean angle. I figure that if they put it there, you are supposed to use it otherwise they would have left it off.
