    LED headlights

    Oh, I get it now. It’s the FJR engineer  who should be drawn and quartered. LOL I too, have switched most of my vehicles  to LED headlamps. Marked improvement  in all but one older car. Results in bikes  has been great.

    2015 front tire prematurely wearing (cupping/scalloping)

    Front tire wear is usually more about riding technique than it is about tire choice.  For example, braking in corners will often result in the cupping/scalloping described by the OP.  Insufficient rebound damping in  the front forks will exacerbate the condition.

    Time to say goodbye

    After 4 Gold Wings over 14 years I, too, decided I was too young for them and bought me an ‘06 FJR.  Never looked back. Never been happier.

    :..Which Mirrors work..:

    I agree  with Niehart. I have the Yamaha’s on my bike, absolutely no regrets.  Over the years there’s been some  dissatisfaction with the Emgo’s.

    Recent Coolant / oil leak, maybe last oil change

    All of my liquid cooled vehicles, including the FJR, have both a  radiator and an oil cooler.

    Steering Damper

    I’m afraid asking that question here will get you more opinions than answers.  Google “motorcycle steering dampers” and you’ll find more info than you can handle.

    Throttle hangs after mod

    The “mod” was to just unwind the spring  one turn or  so. If it is completely slack  ( unwound too much ) you can restore some tension with a piece of string or wire to pull the spring back into the proper position. HTH

    PAIR valve issue on my work ride

    Maybe I’m missing something, but the PAIR valve isn’t under the seat.  What exactly melted? And your FJR doesn’t have carbs.

    Scotch or Bourbon?

    Canadian and Irish whiskey, and to a large extent, Scotch, have a sharp initial bite but are thin on flavor that doesnt linger. Bourbon, OTOH, is smoother initially, has greater depth of flavor and a warm, lingering afterburn. Yum.
