Again, thanks for all the responses guys. I'm being reminded why I loved this site. Knowledgeable and helpful members. I guess it's a good thing I saved my techmount stem nut when I sold my 2005... =)

Thanks for all the responses folks, good info. Just so I'm clear on terminology, Gen 3 is the 2014-2015 bikes and Gen 3.5 is the 2016 with a 6 speed? Out of curiosity, what's the engine RPM on the 6 speeds at highway speeds? Say 70mph or so.

Greetings folks! After a couple year hiatus, the wife and I are probably going to be looking at a good 2-up bike for next year. I had a 2005 FJR that I loved (except for the heat issue) so will definitely be looking at the FJR again. I wanted to get some feedback from owners of the new ES...

I live in the Minneapolis area (Burnsville is a suburb), and own a 2005 FJR1300. I'm pretty booked until next Monday or Tuesday and then will be heading out on a 4k motorcycle trip. But if you can arrange a time on Mon/Tues I can probably take a look at it for you.

So I've finally jumped into the 21st century and picked up a Garmin Zumo 220. So far I've only putzed around on the ride to work and at lunch, but I'll be giving it a bigger work out this weekend. I've poked around the web a little bit, looking for sites where folks share routes or maps but I...
