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...

Corbin gunfighter and lady seat for Gen 1. Blue piping so it matches the 2005 perfectly. $250 plus shipping. I'm in Minneapolis, MN and happy to arrange a local pickup.

Techmount Stem Mount for a Gen 1 (may fit a Gen 2, not sure). $75.00 plus shipping. I'm in Minneapolis, MN and happy to arrange local pickup.

Helibars for a Gen 1. Excellent condition, just selling because I've sold the FJR. $50.00 plus shipping. I'm in Minneapolis, MN and happy to arrange a local pickup.

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...

So my 2005 FJR is now 5 years old and is just under 24k miles. Oil has been regularly changed every 3k miles. Just put in a new set of plugs. Thottlebody Sync done last year. Air Filter cleaned last year. I need to check how often I need to change the shaft oil, it probably makes sense to...

So, I was planning on riding into work today, as part of my last hurrah before the onset of winter. Only to be foiled by the very first time my bike has ever not started. I have a 2005 FJR, and had gone for a ~30 min ride maybe 2-3 weeks ago. I had the "tick" fixed earlier this summer, before...

Well, this is my first ride report so bear with me. For a long while I've wanted to do a really long trip both to test myself and see what the FJR could do when put to the test. So this past June I set out on a 2600 mile ride out to my grandparent's hobby farm in Virginia. Along the way I was...

I'm seeking some suggestions from the more seasoned distance riders here on any tips and tricks to making a long ride enjoyable. I leave this coming Friday for my first really big ride. I'm very much looking forward to it. Here's the general itinerary. Friday (Minneapolis, MN to South Bend...

So I'm going to be taking a long trip shortly, and a friend of mine is lending me his I-Pass. Any other riders out there that use it? If so, where do you have it mounted? As I'm only borrowing it, I'm looking for a good temp location. Will it work sitting in the little glove box? What about...

So I recently purchased a Cal Sci +2" windshield. I was immediately impressed by how much less buffeting there is due to the 2 holes cut into the windshield that help pressurize the back side of the windshield. The new shield is both taller and wider than stock, so will be great for the colder...

So I've picked up a Cal Sci windshield for my 2005, and outside of the fact that I got one size too large, I love it. I'm having them cut it down, so that will soon be resolved, but it left me wondering something. One of the reasons the Cal Sci shield is so nice is because of the holes in the...

For those who had Gen 1 bikes that were tickers, were the repairs covered under warranty? I think that mine has started to tick. It's not bad at idle, but when you get the RPMs up to about 2.5-3k it gets pretty loud, and then quiets down again above that. Just sounds like it really needs a...

So I went to go and put the ribbed BMW handgrips on the FJR, and apparently there's a little more to it than meets the eye. I looked at a 1200GT in the showroom at the local BMW dealer, and it appeared they had normal 7/8 bar grips. However, they come already on a plastic tube that has an ID...
