    Vance & Hines CS One Mufflers

    Just installed a set of Vance & Hines CS One mufflers on my '11 FJR, as part of my ding and scrape repairs resulting from my little driveway shunt a couple weeks ago. Installation: Not too bad. The pipe and muffler assembly is one piece and much lighter than the stock unit that came off the...

    Wider rear tire

    Can the rear rubber be upgraded to a 200mm tire (with a corresponding decrease in profile) without any clearance problems?

    Removing/replacing fairing parts and pieces

    After my dumb-ass maneuver in my driveway I am awaiting the arrival of the fairing parts I need to replace. I started yesterday pulling off the damaged pieces and did the small left side adjustable "wing" panel by my knee, the left mirror (but not the mount) and then replaced the damaged left...

    Opinions (or User Review): Vance & Hines CS One Slip-on's

    Strongly considering upping the ante here and getting a set of Vance & Hines CS One slip-on mufflers. I like the appearance of the mufflers (polished stainless) because they don't look like every other set of cans on the market, plus they've been in the business for some time now and I have...

    Dumb-a$$ed Stupid Attack

    My driveway is very steep and ends in a slight dip as it transitions to the cul-de-sac I live on. Coming home yesterday I approached the driveway and downshifted from second to first as I started up the driveway...or so I thought. What I ended up doing after I'm about 10 feet up the driveway...

    Looking For: Undertail section/hugger fender

    I have seen a couple of FJR's here that have an undertail section and a hugger fender (rear) installed (correct terms??). I've done a search and checked out a couple of links that were posted but could not locate the parts for an FJR. Are these parts still available on the market, and if so...

    600 mile checkup

    I just passed the 600 mile mark and I'm getting ready to take the bike to the dealer for the first oil change and overall bike inspection. Is there a checklist posted somewhere that lists the "must do's" and "nice to do's" maintenance points so I can make sure that nothing is missed? Is there...

    Powdercoating wheels

    I'm considering getting the wheels on my silver FJR powdercoated a contrasting color (no decisions on color yet). A silver bike with silver wheels is a little to washed out for my taste. I was wondering if anyone had already done this and if it affected wheel balance or cause any other issues...

    OK, So I'm Selling My Motorcycle...

    I have a '08 Victory Vegas Jackpot for sale and have gotten a few inquiries. One inquirer is very interested and is trying hard to meet my price. Here is my problem. The bike is currently financed and has a balance due. The money I get from the sale plus what I put in to make up the...

    Stock Exhaust System

    I have performed the Trooper mod on my FJR but was wondering if anyone had gone in and done any other mods to the factory system that they were happy with. I am not asking about aftermarket slip-on mufflers, but any "tricks" to the system itself. Thanks.

    First Ride

    Well, I finally got to bring my new FJR home today. Dealer is about 110 miles away so I wanted to pick a day that the weather would be somewhat cooperative for the first ride home. I was a little apprehensive since I have never owned a motorcycle that fit in the sport cruiser category. Plenty...

    Anti-Lock Brakes

    I will be picking up my new FJR next Saturday and this will be my first two-wheeled ride equpped with antilock brakes. In an emergency situation exactly what should I expect to encounter? I understand the concept behind the technology having owned several sports cars with the ALB systems as...

    License Mounting/Splash Guard

    I haven't even taken possession of my new FJR yet and I'm already thinking about making some changes (ah, the modding bug is everywhere!!). the license plate mount and (I assume) combination rear splash guard seems to me a little overdone. Effective I assume, but overdone. Between the size of...

    Motorcycle Insurance

    Currently insuring one bike (2008 Victory) through Farm Bureau, but the cost seems higher than bikes I've insured in the past. Went with them primarily because of convenience. Now however, I am facing insuring two bikes and am looking for any recommendations on which insurance companies have...
