I went a year without the extra big foot, but the sidestand was starting to push down my parking puck. I just got the extra big foot about 6 weeks ago and it's makes the bike much more secure. So nice having an FJR that actually leans over isn't it?

Linc, I do the same thing and have the same issues with my snowblower, mower etc. if I don't start them up and let them warm up once in awhile. First start of the snowblower is always the hardest each season if I let it set too long... starts fine after that. Nice thing is the FJR always...

I too have a qwest and while I agree it could use a few more vents, it is much more quiet. Very comfortable helmet.. 2 fellow riders and co-workers now own them and they all agree.

I stumbled across this thread last week and thought some suggestions might work on my really sun faded clutch resivoir cover. So I checked out the black magic stuff on Amazon and the reviews kind of went back and forth, but someone suggested Forever Black on the Amazon reviews. I applied it...

I went with the standard size on my FJR, I think they look really good and blend in with the bike really well, but that is just my opinion. Welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchase.

I haven't tried a Bell, but I just bought a new Qwest a few months ago... yes it does fog a little, of course you can fix this with the one click forward on the lock switch. So quiet and so comfy compared to my old KBC and HJC. I really enjoy the helmet, talked a co-worker into getting one as...

Midlife, I am down there all the time. I am an instructor for Idaho STAR, my home site is down in Lewiston, I have already taught 7 classes down there this year. I have another 2 next weekend. One of my co-workers at WSU also has an FJr, he's riding an '07 though. Ride safe, Lewiston traffic...

Where at in Northern Idaho? I am up in Moscow... Lots of good roads throughout Idaho. But I don't have any tips on southern either sorry. Welcome to the state though :)

If people are still in need shoot me a pm. I have a pair of draggin jeans that are 50x30 and a pair of either tourmaster or first gear pants that fit when I wore a 50. I just lost 100 pounds this past 7 months and I ordered my new one piece suit as my reward. I now wear a 36 yay!!! I need to...

Wow that really is a sharp looking paintjob.

This hasn't been posted in for awhile now, but I just got my renewal for this year: MetLife 100/300 Bod Injury 50 Prop Dam 100/300 UNINS $150 deducs on COMP COLw/UNINS WAIVER With Tow $253 per year 22 years riding experience/ safety class, Instructor deduction. No tickets or accidents...

Just wanted to say red and black is one of my favorite combos, I think it turned out pretty nice. It could use one more black stripe, like if the bottom part of the lower fairing was black it might contrast a little better. But overall it turned out good I think.

Thank you ahead of time for any help I get from this site. I have always appreciated this site but now I am using it for a personal gain and I admit it. My wife nominated me to win an LCD and a mountain bike, from a local group of radio stations, and I am now a finalist. If you wouldn't mind...

I am sure he is still around. I know sometimes he travels out of town for work. He might not have had a chance to check it. Gary is very trustworthy, don't worry I am sure you will hear back from him soon.

I should have posted earlier. I have a set of #3 installed on my 08. Went on very easy, installed dry with no problems. They look great, thanks Alex.
