Just put my V-1 and my trusty Garmin V on my Gixxer 1000. Now if I only had a place to store stuff....

Nice knobs Smitty ! Those fork spring preload adjusters a stock item ? Sweet looking cockpit.

I'm betting the V1 is real useful but do you have time to look at the Garmin much ?

 

[smitty141]

I mainly use the GPS to know when a turn is coming up, and for a speedo. I bought the pre-load knob on ebay. There really slick, one of those "why didn't I think of that". Here's a link for them..

pre-load adj.

So smitty - is the GSXR silly fast compared to the FJR? Please do tell me about the acceleration and ride next to the ol' scoot.

Brundog, I wish I could tell you how bad this bike is... I have only rode it .6 tenths of a mile and I had it close to a month :angry: . I had rotator cuff surgery, and most likely will be a few more weeks before I can ride. Last few days the weather has been great, and tomorrow it is going to be 70deg and sunny here in Missouri. It has been a hard struggle not to mount up and ride...But as soon as I do I will let you know..smitty

Smitty,

Where are you going to find room to "tuck in" when you try for that top speed run?

I guess you can always use the Garmin as a chin rest!
