    Cee Bailey +2 +3 AND oem BAG LINERS

    Hi all! I have a Cee Bailey +2 +3 screen with only one tiny nearly invisible pebble mark, and it is as clear as new. ($ 125 + shipping to Lower 48 US) I am 6' tall and the screen worked very well for me. I also have bag liners I just purchased last year that are also like new ($45 plus...

    Check your tires!

    I'm 225 lbs and I have had PR2's last closer to 7k. I don't do a lot f road trips, mostly comuting on B roads but some of them are a tar and chip surface and we have a lot of crown on the roads around here......not sure if that is the reason for the lower life. I doubt I have a total of 35...

    Check your tires!

    I know this is an old thread but I just had my rear Z8 do the same thing. Having no wear bars or indicators really sucks! I am a nut with checking pressure and looking at my tires but I went in my 40 mile commute and it went from the premature flat spot to cords exposed real fast......that is...

    FJR Center of gravity

    Well, my guess it that the CG is at some line below the top of the engine given the heavy shaft drive, center lines of the symmetrical wheels etc..... A real quick reality check is that the bike weighs in at 650 lbs or so wet and 30 pounds is less than 5% of the total mass and will only move...

    ABS vs NON ABS

    I think ABS is a great defensive tool, and at that point you are in a bad situation. I wish ABS came with a "one mile radius" cell phone text message jamming device.... then we would all agree it was a must have option!

    ABS vs NON ABS

    Try losing the panel on the right of the document (if the document came up that way) and that will make it more readable; then play with the % window on the center of the menu bar on top re size.

    ABS vs NON ABS

    See attached study. I hope the link worked. I did not check to see if it is on the forum in any other place. It's interesting that the study used an FJR as one of the bikes, so it makes a good argument on this forum re "is ABS better". I hope my fellow riders read the study versus just...

    Looking for durable practical motorcycle type boots

    These are my commute to work and short ride boots. EZ on and off (because if they were not I am afraid I would wear something stupid on a short rides) good for moderate distance walking and fair protection. They are a little warm if you plan to walk in them all day. Not sure about 3 years of...

    Getting An Fjr

    Bags on or off...

    I have frame sliders on mine that would help in a oh-crap drop with perhaps little damage with the bags off vs on. At speed I am not too sure if the bag or the exhaust can would cost more in a minor slide? I think I would go without them and chance the can. Sliders may be a good quick...
