    Ok, do you "fast shift" or "slow shift"?

    Best Radar Detector Mount Location

    Which weather proof case for the V1? I'm trying to mesh placement for 360 degree detection and audio acuity. I don't care if I see it...I have a sena smh10 Bluetooth.

    Musings of an aging FJR rider

    The reason I chose the FJR is because it works for my wife and me both. If I wanted a bike for "me" (been there, done that), I'd have a ZX14R. If the bike is for "both" then get the one that works best for both.

    What's your Feejer Gear ATGATT

    Wind Protection and Riding Posture

    Bill, I own a 2014 FJRES. I have some limited mileage riding experience on a 2012 R1200RT By way of direct comparison (switching back and forth between bikes on the same 1100 mile weekend), I can surmise the following: 1. The FJR is a sport bike which has been purpose built for long distance...
