    Just picked up my 05

    Welcome to the cult. Everyone knows that '05 blue is the fastest color!

    J&M External Speakers

    I would like to try some of these speakers to get Sirius/XM and directions from my Zumo. https://www.jmcorp.com/SeeProducts.asp?PF=16 Has anyone done this? I'm just wondering if there is enough space on the bars to mount the speakers.

    Copperhead Loop

    Yep, that's the one! It's really accessible coming from the Charlotte area compared to the Dragon and other roads further west.

    Copperhead Loop

    We'll be headed out this weekend to do the Copperhead one more time before the bad winter weather sets in. It's supposed to be in the 60's on Saturday in the Asheville area.

    Garmin GXM 30 / 40 antenna

    Mine is mounted under the pillion seat, close to the rear tail cone. It works great, even with a Givi V46 top case,and it's a very clean installation.

    XM Radio Install for JMCB (alt 12V outet idea)

    I have the V46 with a cargo rack on top. What sort of CB antenna would fit that? I think the license plate mounted antenna that J&M sells would slap the top case going down the road. Any ideas?

    First major service on '05

    I'll be taking my new to me '05 in for service when I get home. I'm currently working in Nigeria. Hopefully, I'll be as lucky as you were!! :D

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Installed a Givi V46 top box, Admore light kit, frame sliders, Garmin Zumo 550 and V-stream windshield. Spent yesterday howling around the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway to celebrate!

    V-Stream Windshield

    With the addition of the V-Stream and Baker Wings, I am much happier about the "air management" issues. I'm now riding in a quiet pocket of clean air with no buffeting.

    Hefty guys need protection too

    Joe Rocket works for me, and I'm no Speedo spokesmodel.

    Givi E55

    I have seen pics online, but it is difficult to tell how closely the "Dark Burgman Blue" E55 matches the '05 blue Feej. If anyone has one, or has seen it in real life is it better to go with the blue replacement top for the E55 or to go with the Silver?

    V-Stream Windshield

    Today was the first ride with the wings on and I am most impressed. In the morning, I closed them and stayed perfectly warm without longjohns despite 35F temps. As it warmed up, I opened them up and it's at least 10-15 degrees difference between open and closed. Very nice. The hand wings, as...

    V-Stream Windshield

    I'm also considering the V Stream. I recently added the Baker wings and wonder how they will work in combination with the V Stream.

    volume of side bags

    So, being a FNG and all, am I understanding y'all correctly that I'm supposed to fill up my FF helmet with beer and then put it in the side case? Which side case? Surely the addition of that much weight will impact handling. Does the brand of beer make a difference? The specific gravity of...
