    Which custom seat???

    I don't think you can go wrong with Russell or Bill Mayer but considering the great customer service I was given, better pricing, faster service and just a flat out awesome looking seat it was BMS for me...still on my break in, did a little over 200 miles yesterday and all was great.

    Iron Butt Mods..

    You could probably do a search to get the manufacture part #'s for the Kuryakyn stuff, I don't have that. I do have the Dennis Kirk part #'s though... Footpeg Offsets: H500524 Footpeg (male mount): H49608

    Iron Butt Mods..

    Sure is nice when something shows up a day early... :yahoo: Talk about one hell of a nice seat...!! I cannot thank Rocky enough for getting us our seats before our trip so we can put some break-in miles on them. If anyone is on the fence about a seat for our FJR's...I cannot say enough...

    Iron Butt Mods..

    What can Brown do for me...? LOL...nice surprise this morning. I know this Helibar deal has been talked about time and time again over the past year or so but damn what a nice piece, very high quality. The differences are incredible. I love the way the stocker looks with its curves, the...

    Iron Butt Mods..

    Thanks for the info...Yeah there is no way I would ride aggressively with the pegs down. Mine seem to be tight in the upright position so I don't see them falling down on they're own. I'll be checking regularly though. I'll have to post back up after my ride back to the Dragon. If that place...

    Iron Butt Mods..

    LOL...that would be one hell of a ride... :o Don't let the camera shine fool ya...it's been pretty damn dirty over the past 2 years. Gotta keep her clean when I can though... Guess I'll have to post some dirty pics from the trip to show she's not a garage queen...lol...actually I only sit...

    Iron Butt Mods..

    Thanks for the heads up. Yeah I've read a few people having problems and some not. Guess it all comes down how loaded the bike is to how hard someone's gonna ride and what exact peg/extention set up they have off the mounts. What part of your set up hit first...? I would think the problem is...

    Iron Butt Mods..

    Well maybe "Semi-Iron butt mods". I should have done this a long time ago...having made several long hauls over the past couple of years, figured I'd make a few changes before the wife and I make our journey to TN, NC and VA. Looking foward to finishing the first 'real' set of mods to the FJR...

    Which GPS to get???

    Thanks for all the info...I'm pretty much a GPS virgin so...how I understand it is I can install a memory card and it will remember the route I took and keep it in memory...? Do you know if the 550 has better mapping for they're base map or are you saying most if not all the base maps are...

    Which GPS to get???

    Does anyone know how good the autoroute basemap is on the Garmin 276 and if there are any other good/compatable road maps available other than the 'automotive kit' they offer that seems to be tailored more toward city info...?

    High Way Peg Mounts

    How is this set up better/worse compared to Wild Bills...? Comfort, leg position, etc...? Trying to decide on which one to go with.

    Another rack for Givi 46...?

    Thats what I 'really' like about the Motech...Thanks for the input guys...well I got the Givi in yesterday, very nice piece...! Got the paint matched top and it looks damn good. I was told by TwistedThrottle the SW won't be in the States until the 17th... <_< I plan on waiting as I...

    Another rack for Givi 46...?

    Okay, now that I just found the SW-Motech rack won't be available, after ordering it a week ago, for another 3 weeks... :angry2: ...and a ride we have planned to Ark on the 11th, I need to re-think this rack situation...arrhhh....!! I really like the looks of the Motech. I have looked at...

    2008 Hayabusa

    Personally I like it...have ALWAYS been a fan of the Busa. I like the "tweeks". Almost pulled the trigger before the FJR but common sense prevailed.

    Top Speed Loaded...?

    LOL TWN...I was curious to see how far off our factory speedos are at top speed compared to GPS...I'm sure its been discussed more than once here. I was thinkin' 155 at the most... One of my 2 brothers, on his '06 FZ1, couldn't read his GPS as he was "trying" to stay ahead of me and the...

    Top Speed Loaded...?

    Just got back from a great trip up to Eureka Springs, Arkansas that averaged about 300+ miles per day. Had a good mix of bikes (11 total) from an '06 CBR 1000 to an '83 V45 Magna. FYI...DO NOT try to make 100 miles on 1 tank of fuel if your riding a good ole' V45 through the Ozarks. Half way...

    How many would buy an MT-01?

    I don't know but I think the Warrior looks soooo much better! IMHO the MT-01 is pretty damn ugly, nothing flows. Even at an extra 100lbs I'll take my Warrior. I think the 122RWTQ will help make up some of the weight issues...might be fun to ride though...kinda like a fat chick...? :blink...
