I've got my 06' up for sale. The right mirror and right bag have scratches from a parking lot tip over. Several prospective buyers have asked me how much it would cost to repaint or repair them. I have no idea but I figured that someone here has been there done that before. Pics of damage...

I was pulling out of a parking spot, rolling on the throttle into a lean when the bike stalled. As soon as the motor quit I went down. The mirror took most of the damage. The side bag is scuffed as well but thankfully the sider protected the faring. This isn't the only time the motor has...

I'll try to keep this brief. Last June I bought a bike in San Diego just so I could fly out and ride it home to North Carolina. I sent the dealer some mods I wanted put on the bike before the trip, including risers, GPS mount, throttle tube and a Vista Universal throttle lock. I didn't want...

I've got a cee baily +4 +2 that I love except for the "whistle" around 40-50mph. Any ideas on how to fix it??? EDIT: Thanks to Wel1123 for his suggestion about putting a thin foam strip on the windshield when mounting. I did this and the whistle went away. For good measure I also added a...

+4 +2 would be ideal but I'm willing to see what you've got.

I want one.

I like to ride most of the time with the stock shield in the lowest position. I enjoy the airflow. However, there are times when I want a quieter ride. Raising the stock all the way up almost gets the quiet ride I'm looking for but not quite. There is too much backpressure and still some...

While I love just about every aspect of the FJR, I'm tired of not being able to easily see behind me. Are there other options available???

Just curious why more 07's are having altitude surging issues when it appears that only a few 06's have them. I thought the bikes were identical??? FWIW, my 06 ran flawlessly from sea level to 6000'.

I had this posted in the general forum and didn't realize that there was a "trip" forum. I also figured that I'd expand a bit more on my trip. So, here goes and I hope you folks enjoy. I bought my bike three weeks before my trip even though I had never seen the bike in person. I found it for...

I thought I'd share a few pics from my Calif. to NC ride. I flew into San Diego on June 16th where I was met by a representative from the bike shop where I bought my 06. In my excitment to leave, I forgot to get any pictures of the start of my trip. Oh well....on with the pics. Click on the...

As I mentioned in a previous thread, I just returned from a 3300 mile cross country trip, riding from Calif. to NC. Everything went great until I was passing a bunch of trucks on I-10 in west Texas when I felt a lurch. The engine coughed and sputtered, then caught and ran smoothy. At the...

I'll keep this brief. Picked up my new-to-me 06 10 days ago in Oceanside CA. Just returned home to Raleigh, NC today. 3300 miles total. I spent three days in Houston visiting friends so the bike sat unused for those days, otherwise I was riding every day. Longest day....700 miles. Hottest...

Gonna pick up an 06 Saturday on the west coast and ride it to the east coast. Will I be kicking myself in the ass for the next 3000 miles if I don't install one prior to the ride? I'm trying to justify the $600 expense. what say you???

Nobody seems to carry them anymore. One dealer told me that Schubert lost their importer. I can use my old shield but I really want to get a new one before my trip. Anyone know of a dealer who might have replacement shields in stock???

1964 Suzuki 50. Whopping 4.2 hp!!! But it was mine!

Anyone have any they want to part with??

Looking for a fairly cheap (under $500) GPS that works well on the FJR. Any recommendations?? I don't want to pay for extras (voice prompt, bluetooth, etc) that I don't need. I'm simply looking for a good, easy to read and understand model that will plug and play.

I've installed two Vista Cruise locks on previous bikes and I seem to recall that these come in two sizes. Anyone know what size fits the 06' FJR??? Thanks!! Edit: 1" and 7/8" are the two options for bar size....not 1.5". My bad.

Mid life crisis kicking in. I just sold my old Vulcan Classic and bought an 06' FJR in San Diego, Ca. I live in NC. Gonna fly out in mid June and ride it home, riding thru Santa Fe and Houston to visit some old friends along the way. I'm having a ball ordering all the necessary odds and ends...
