EXACTLY the point I was trying to make.

Well, then let's get away from Internet riding, and into real riding. I own both a 2005 FJR (full disclosure - put up for sale today) and a 2006 BMW K1200GT. I have toured on both, putting 12,000 miles in under 6 weeks on the Bimmer last summer, touring across 23 states and two Canadian...

I'm taking the FJR1300 to Atlanta from Denver, and back, in May. Looking for a slightly larger bag than my T-Bag to place on the back seat for the trip. Anyone have any experience with the Kuryakyn Full Dresser (by Bagtec per their website), or the Kuryakyn GranTour Bag? Thanks.

BD: Right on most counts. I don't actually have multiple bikes; I have multiple applications! At least, that's the story I've been successfully selling :P You are correct on the Horsepower per BMW - 152 @ 9500. Of course, my LT has 100 HP and weighs considerably more than the 622 lbs...

;) Couple of thoughts related to some of the comments spread throughout this thread. Caution: YMMV. I own a 2005 FJR, and a 2002 BMWK1200LTC (second one I've owned). I have toured extensively on the Bimmer, and was able to get some 2000+ tours on the FJR in last summer. I have also toured...

I can assure you that there is no way an FJR is as quick & fast as a Busa. I can say this, given that I owned a 2001 Busa and traded it in for a 2005 FJR. After 8 weeks, I had more miles on my FJR than I had on my Busa after 4 years B) . IMHO, a Touring Bike is not a Sport Touring Bike is...

These threads always amuse me (although, at my age, lot's of things amuse me that probably shouldn't). I'm on my second BMW K1200LTC. Have thousands of miles on every other tourer (GL1800, Ultra, Venture). Wouldn't trade my beemer for any of 'em. For long distance touring, that is. Consider it...

I'll try to help, but understand this will be just my opinion, and worth every cent you're paying for it. Having said that, I do a lot of touring. Usually 3-7 days at a time, usually 375-550 miles/day (not an iron butt rider), depending on scenery and road conditions. Little to no slab riding...

Leaving tomorrow for some Colorado mountain pass touring. 2 Up, luggage (side bags and top case). Recommended Front & Rear Tire Pressures based on this group's experience? Thanks!

Here is the right side fix: https://www.fjrowners.ws/forum/messages/6/1...html?#POST50429 Nice thing about this (Cromeit) approach is that no tuning / retuning of the engine is required. Couple of bucks for a sheet of aluminum plate, 2" weatherstripping, and some Foam King (available at...

BTW: Lower fairing removal a snap on both sides.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Spent yesterday afternoon implementing all of the heat fixes: 1) Frost King insulation now lining underside of fuel tank. 2) Left side Cromieck (sp?) aluminum (0.025" th) insert made and installed; foam stripping added, used cutaway option for airfoil rather than...
