Thanks to all!

In July I lost my beautiful 2007 Triumph Bonneville. While I still had my FJR I couldn't envision myself not owning a Triumph. I finally brought one home yesterday I decided to downsize since in 4 years of ownership I had only put 7000 miles on my FJR. So I traded her in. It was a great bike...

Lots of different answers. I'm going to try 39F 42R. Thanks to all!

I recently got PR2's and I can't believe the difference in the way the bike handles. The stock tires must have been truck tires.

A few months ago I got a new pair of Michelin PR2's. The shop set the air pressure in both tires at 35 psi. I can't find anywhere what is Michelins recommended pressure. The tires ride great,much better than the stock ones. Any suggestions? What do you run your Pilots on?

This might be just the thing! Thanks eo all for the ideas!

I finally bought a new helmet(Shoei Qwest) but now I'm unsure what to do with the old one. I've had it for about 7 years. Should I chuck it? Or keep it for a rainy day?

Congrats! She's beautiful!

Right now I'm running Amsoil. On my next change I might try Motul. I run that in my Triumph and really like it.

Thanks to all. I'll add it to the choices and keep looking.

Thanks!

Today while at the dealership (new tires) I was perusing the yamaha accessory catalogue and noticed they have a bigger windshield for the FJR. Anybody here ever have one? And if so, what did you think?

Got a new set of Michelin PT3's today. Quite a difference from the stock Brigestones. Is there a break-in period for new tires?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitly price the dealers too.

I have a slow leak in my front tire. I've decided to go agead and get new tires. But since this is my firast sport tourer I'm not sure what to get. I'll probably get them at a local Cycle Gear store as the dealer is too expensive. Suggestions?
