I currently have a Corbin on my '06 and previously had a Sargent. The Sargent didn't require the same break-in saddle time that the Corbin does, and comfort-wise I found it a fair bit better than stock, though not exceedingly so. I ended up getting a Corbin more to drop the seat height, and am...

Just wanted to toss a BZ to Blalock's while I'm here. Just had my '06 in for its 8K service and a new set of PR2's mounted, and they did swell. Also discovered Vint Hill Road on my way back and that made it even better! :-) I bought my first riding jacket at Coleman's many years back, great...

Ya mean to tell me I convinced my wife that I *had* to buy a Dremel when I really didn't? :-) Well, that's okay. I still think it raises my manliness quotient, even if I have to take a deduction for posting questions about it. Brian

As reported in a few other threads, some of us using the Yamaha Touring windshield along with the Skyway spacers are having clearance problems at the edges. I've been trying a combination of electrician's tape to protect the fairing and trying to remember to raise the shield slightly when I...

My only concern is I seem to have heard that the Russell wil increase the seat height, when if anything I need it lowered a bit. Is it true that the Corbin's the only one that can do that for you? Brian

Well, I spoke a bit too soon. While I didn't have any interference, per se, the combination did put the shield very close to the fairing at the spots you indicated. I've been keeping an eye on it, and noticed yesterday that the paint was being worn off at those spots on the outer edges. It...

I'd like to know the answer to that myself. I went with the 'scrape-with-your-fingernails-until-extreme-pain-makes-you-stop' method. Low-tech, requires minimal tools, but I don't zactly recommend it.... Brian '06 FJR1300 '89 FJ1200 (for sale) '90 K75S '94 VFR750 '85 VF700C Magna

John, as I reported in another thread ("Another windshield report"), I'm using that exact setup: Yamaha touring windshield with Skyway spacers, and I don't have any clearance issues whatsoever. I don't know what to suggest might be the issue, but the combination is working fine for me. Brian...

Installation was a breeze. The only trick the first time is knowing that the "Batman" cover comes off with two little 3mm allen bolts -- you have to look up under the edge of the W to see 'em. And Skyway's recommendation to remove the center of the 7 plastic windshield screws last is a good...

Looks clear to me. Now can somebody explain to my why they felt it necessary to put a bright yellow and white CAUTION sticker on it so you didn't try cleaning it with steel wool or something?? Man, that thing was hard to get off. At least on my stock fairing the sticker is small and...

I have a barender on my '06, right side with the matching "dummy" bar end on the left. They do use the welded-in nut inside the bar; installation wasn't any problem and they do look good. Very simple, very clever solution. I only ride one-up so didn't get but the one lock. Not sure if the...

I ordered it from Rick Roush (https://www.rickroushaccessories.com) and it was $87.96 plus $14.44 for shipping. I think the Cee Bailey, VStorm, and Rifle windshields were all around $150, plus somebody made the point that the genuine Yammy one fits perfect, so I decided to try it first. Brian

Rider vitals: 5'9 and 30" inseam Experienced major noise issues in all positions with stock windshield. I've ridden for 12 years and thought about hearing protection a time or two, but the FJR made it a requirement. I decided to try the two least expensive (non-destructive) options I read...

I bought the Airglide 2 jacket and pants in silver a few weeks ago. Not enough time with them to give a full report, but a couple of comments: - looks great (well, for riding gear) -- not nearly as space-alien looking as my old Fieldsheer one-piece; very happy with the non-black color, too -...

Just to add my two cents, I've had a pair of Icon "Standard" jeans for about a year and have been happy with them. Gets a bit warm especially under the Kevlar at the knees, but they're comfortable. No experience with other brands, but thinking of getting a pair of Draggin's in the next month...

I just got the Airglide2 jacket and pants from MotoLiberty last week. Service was great and thier recommendations size-wise were spot on. My first experience with mesh gear and I'm very happy with it. Brian
