    love the bike, the stock seat not so much

    I went with the Seat Concepts seat as well. I got the carbon fiber material. Have had it since April and it is very comfortable. I only got the front foam redone but did the new cover for both.

    Avon Spirit ST Tires

    Have had the Spirit ST's on for about 1,000 miles and I love them so far. Great cornering and smooth on the straight road. Headed to Arkansas in November for the real test. If they pass the Push Mountain road torture test I will buy them again when these wear out..

    Avon Spirit ST Tires

    I have had the Avon Spirit ST's on my 08 since April. Took them to the Texas Hill Country in June for their initial test drive. So far I like them. Good traction in the twisties and smooth ride. Got into a small rain shower for about 5 miles and had no problems. Will be headed to Arkansas this...

    Had to do a little rerouting of the throttle cables and repositioning of the brake and clutch hoses.

    Tubular handlebar adaptor for FJR?

    Well I finished my 7/8" handlebar conversion using my custom made plate. However I still cannot figure out how to post a picture of it on this site. Therefore I am not going to continue on this site. It's been interesting but I give up. Thanks for allowing me to play for the last two months.

    Goldwing pegs on FJR?

    Thank you Sir. I was not able to make them work on the rider pegs as planned due to clearance issues on the brake pedal. However they work nicely on the passenger peg mounts. Had to take a little off of the side of the peg but it was no big deal. I bet the ladies who ride on the back would love...

    Goldwing pegs on FJR?

    Those are kuryakyn foot pegs. I am using stock 1800 Goldwing pegs. I just fitted them to the passenger brackets and they look amazing. If I could only figure out how to post the pictures I would love to show them off. Never been on a forum where you had to post pictures to a 3rd party internet...

    Tubular handlebar adaptor for FJR?

    Well now I am on my laptop and can still not find anything to post pictures. I have some very good pictures of some mods I have done and would love to share them. This is frustrating. Every other forum I have ever been on has simple picture posting options. Grrrrrrrrr.........

    I don't see a tab for posting pictures. What am I doing wrong?

    Tubular handlebar adaptor for FJR?

    Yes I will definitely post pictures. I am hoping to make this something that can be replicated fairly easily for others who would like other handlebar options. I have made many mods over the years to my Kawasaki Concours. I always joke with folks that the worst thing you can tell me is "they...

    Tubular handlebar adaptor for FJR?

    Tuning fork handlebars like the ones on the FJR, C-14, C-10 are notorious for vibration transmission. As soon as I put 7/8" bars on my C-10 the buzz disappeared. Hoping the same result will work on the FJR. I just found a Storz adaptor so stay tuned.

    Goldwing pegs on FJR?

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but wanted to pass this along. If anyone wants bigger or flatter footpegs on their FJR, the 1800 Goldwing driver pegs are a direct fit on the stock bracket. I had a set and tried it and they fit perfect.
