    Hand Guards for 2022

    Barkbuster storms are easy to install, and effective. They bolt right up.

    Yosh Exhaust, need input

    They are quieter with the baffles, for sure. But still notably louder than stock. Frankly, I don’t miss my yoshis on the interstate for distance. But I do miss them for commuting and backroads/mountain riding.

    Steering Head Roller Bearing - Upgrade or Boondoogle?

My 2018 never had any handling or steering issue that wasn’t easily corrected, no bearing replacement indicated up to around 97...

    I’ve run v47, v56, and trekker 58l’s under all sorts of conditions. No issues.

    FJR in the Barber Motorsports museum ?

    Paul Pelland’s former FJR was on display there for quite some time. Thought it still was.

    Luggage Rack/Plate

    I’d use a Givi sr357 and their metal top plate, which is similar to the one you show, but with additional slots for even more strapping opportunities.

    FJR1300 To Be Retired

    Options are food. Thankfully, the fjr is still available. But I still get a lazy eye for other platforms.

    FJR1300 To Be Retired

    Mine came in sooner than expected. But it still took a few months. I used Yamaha city cases in the mean time.

    Long-Distance Endurance MT10 Project

    No. Not if you’re using the proper stem.

    Is a FJR a money thing?

    Quite the opposite. I ride quite bit. My BMW broke down often,and didn’t have the reliability, parts availability, or repair shop saturation I required. If I were to go back to BMW, I’d have to have a second sport tourer as a backup, and know a guy on standby with a trailer. If reliability...

    Admore, and the admore harness, are where it’s at.

    Is D&H Cycle in Cullman, AL still in business?

    Correction- four years of YES at RPM (formerly D&H) is precisely $545.00 now.

    Is D&H Cycle in Cullman, AL still in business?

    The new owners sell YES warranty for $100 over what the old owners did. Which still beats almost any other deal.

    Fatter Grips

    I don’t care for grip puppies. I prefer grip buddies. But I think the OD on puppies is a little larger.

    What is the worst thing you have seen a cager do?

    Drivers would do well to note that the consequences of their actions can be permanent. For them, not just for others. Some times natural consequences arrive on two wheels.

    Update/resolved & thx. —> Tire mount / balance weight(s) question

    There are only two ways to find out. Riding it and checking for vibration, or removing the wheels and balancing yourself. Looking at the weights isn’t going to give you useful info.

    Mirror Extensions

    The sw motech extenders are superb. If they worked with my clearwater light mounts, I’d still be using them. They are availble form purchase from sw motech.
