I went from a 2nd gen Bandit to an FJR. You will like the additional wind protection and no chain maintenance.

Rain gear.

I fly a Great Lakes. My previous airlpane was a Pitts Special, an S1-T.

They damn sure look cool!

I'm interested.

I live a few miles south of the Woodlands, near Hooks airport. Let me know when you want to get together.

I'm really happy with my Cal Sci short, but I haven't tried the Vstream. I had a Cee Bailey +2 in height. It was better than the stock screen for me, but there was back pressure with it in the higher positions. I'm 5' 7" and I have a Sargent seat which is about the same height as the stock...

I took the bike for a 100 mile ride this morning to check out the Cal Sci short screen. The short screen measures 17" from the center mounting screw to the top of the screen. I am 5'7", 29" inseam and I have a Sargent seat (which seems to be the same height as the stock seat). Compared to the...

I rode it only briefly with the screen all the way up, but it seemed to me that the backpressure was a lot less than with the CB. I will try to give a better test tomorrow and report back.

I just installed the short version of the California Scientific windscreen, and I really like it. It is about 1" shorter than the Cee Bailey +2 that I had on the bike. It flows plenty of air in the down position and is much quieter than the Cee Bailey when raised. I am 5' 7", and the height...

I really like the Throttle Rocker. It's the best $10 I ever spent on a motorcycle accessory.

Thank you very much for the input. I am going to get one!

I'm thinking of getting a Russell seat, but I need to be sure that it really won't be higher than the stock seat. The Russell web site says that the seat isn't higher than the stock seat if you slide all the way forward. Thanks for any input you could give me on this.

The mirrors on my 2004 are dead solid at just about any speed or rpm. That is one of the things I really like about this bike. Maybe it will smooth out after a little breaking in. Be patient. This is a great motorcycle.

I have the stock Sargent seat in Griptex. I'm 5' 7" and 180 lb. I do slide toward the tank more than on the stock seat. The Sargent seat has great quality of materials and fit and finish. I think it looks great, but it just doesn't work great for me. When I slide back far enough to get on...
