I promise all of you, after smitty gets the suspenders upgraded on the GW... he'll leave most of us ( on our FJR's) in the dust. :glare:

He did just tell me that he only has 300 miles on it and the front end did feel a bit twitchy at times but that if felt good at 130.....

Thanks all my friends out there in FJR land. Just remember.. I switched bikes not my motorcycle family.. I will give a full report after I put a few miles on it. So far it is very rider friendy.. Turns in very well and 130 was not a problem.. I did by-pass the Honda intercom and patched in my Autocom. This way I can use the headsets I have and be able to hear the XM, GPS, V1 ect. Plus I can control the volume with the Honda controls..

One of the great things about this bike is I will be able to ride out to the west coast to see my buddys... All of them but Skooter are to big of ******* to ride to Hooterville :p :crazy:

Full report soon... Smitty

I see the GW...

...I see you just haven't had time to install the mandatory trunk monkey farkle yet.

...That or the hot cocoa dispenser/holder.

 
Smitty,

That garage is pretty clean. So how many bikes do you currently own right now.... I seem to have lost count.

You can count me in as one of the *******. Hell I dont even know where that is. Sounds like I should though. Anyway if you come out I got a CC install I would love you to do. I'll even throw in a hotel gift certificate to get you out here.

 
Smitty, [SIZE=12pt]Smitty, Smitty?! [/SIZE]

Whaaa, whaa' happened?

Miss KTM decide to toss your britches off in the dirt?

Miss WhaleHondaBoat wail a siren song?

Are you installing knobbies on the GW?

Do you know 6 cylinders is enough for 3 Harleys?

 
Love that color on the Wing. That's the same one I've been looking at, but I have not been able to decide where to put the V1, GPS, XM, etc that I currently have on the shelf of my FJR. My back and hips are objecting to the longer rides these days. (Way too many broken bones in the past). I'll know for sure when I return from the NAFO trip from the east coast.

i talked to Smitty last night and he has all that stuff figured out already ( he was making brackets).

He already installed an Autocom and intergrated it into the Wings systems.

Go Smitty.
