    Need help with replacing the Brake hose (metering valve to right front brake caliper) on my 2007 (2007!) FJR 1300)

    CalSci Tinted Shorty

    just curious about what type of seats you have on your FJR. I was looking for short summer windshields and was also thinking of twisted throttle add on variable MRA-X spoiler screen. Like your post on the CalSci.

    Shoei Neotech

    just got my new one last week. It is quieter than the old Multi-tec that I just retired. I do like the drop down visor, seems optically clear for the moment as good as a tinted shield. It seems to flow more cooling air but difficult to tell as we are in cold spell here in Tennessee this past...

    SW Mototech Mirror Extensions Review

    They look easy to install. I do see part of my elbows when riding in most gear except in the summer mesh jacket, so any extension would be helpful. Also thinking of getting the miltiplex mirrors, that others have mentioned also. Need to order soon usually riding by end February here in Tennessee
