Just e-mailed you. If you dont get it, I'm in. e-mail is schrade AT insight DOT rr DOT com Thanks, Lewis Schrader

HeHe, never thought of that. Dont have that option on my ancient technology bike! They do irritate me when they are lowered due to scraping all the time, but I have to leave them on for comfort.

UselessPickles and Wicked Webby, Nice to hear the results you have had. Initially, while searching the forums, I wasn't sure how much these mods were adding up to, sorta like information overload! And of course its hard to tell how much difference there actually is performance wise from mags...

Don, I wont have to worry about the ugly bags for much longer, as I will be getting an FJR or C14 in a couple months! Lewis

Man, coming from a newbie outsider who has a maroon bike and black bags, my view would be get them repainted. If you want to see how ugly nonpainted bags look, check out an older concours! FWIW, I wish my bags were color matched. They look terrible black and the bike Maroon. Lewis

Yeah, that gas tank is terrible. Like you said, coming from my bike w/huge gas tank, I dont know how I would handle the smaller tank. On trips, specially while with the rest of my family who rides Hardlys', I watch them always getting gas and go one or two stops without refueling. I like...

OCfjr, Thanks for the reply, Always hard to figure out the meaning/attitude of posts since the net lacks the personality equation. I love my 03 Concours and use my bike every day for commuting 40 miles round trip into large city, errands, day trips, weekend trips and longer, usually all...

OK, not sure what everyone is getting so irritated about. If I have a bike that I want to add power to, whats the big deal. And I dont see what the problem is with wanting to add power to a bike that is already down on power compared to its competitors. Yes you have to rev the concours to get...

Well, not sure if you saw the power increases that the sytem is claiming, but they are substantial. From what I have seen, the systems for the FJR only add 6 to 9 horsepower. Seems like its a little hard to make horsepower improvements on the FJR compared to the Concours. Maybe not. Maybe...

I have been searching around the site and I see some info on Wicked Webby's air box mod and Some stuff regarding AFR tuner and PCIII commander, along with some slip on exhausts, but none seem to provide sizable gains in horsepower and torque. I see some stuff by UselessPickles where he appears...

yeah, chosing a bike for the fairing pockets would be ridiculous, but it will be tough to get used to worthless/no fairing pockets. I LOVE mine on my Concours! Basically, I will ride all bikes before deciding on one, I just immerse (obsess) myself into the topic and try to learn as much about...

OK, here is a better link where on the second or third page it shows you the first page of the article beginning on pg56. you just flip through with the arrow on top and it will preview the magazine https://www.zinio.com/reader.jsp?issue=4160...int&prev=si there, that works. Lewis

Its not you. The list of articles they show for the June 09 issue is completely wrong. Also, you aren't able to read the articles. What I did was instead of running to the bookstore and trying to find it, I just bought it online for $4 and downloaded it. Technically its downloaded but not in...

In case anyone else is researching which bike to get, I ran across another mag review of the top three bikes listed. It was in the June 09 issue of Motorcycle Sport and Leisure I dont plan on making my decision based on articles, but I immerse myself into the items I plan on buying and doing...
