    Givi 58 Top Box

    Over 100k with an aftermarket top box. Never noticed it. If I was buying a new one, I'd get the shad expandable one. Low for most of the time, but can be larger when needed.

    Dunlop Mutant

    I'm a little late in posting this, but here's an update on the Mutants. After a long weekend to west Virginia in the begining of October, with one day of rain and mostly cool temps, 50 to 55°, mostly all back roads, I took some measurements. Tires have 2290 miles. I used calibers in center of...

    Windscreen shimming

    V Stream on a gen 2 works great. Works ok on gen 3, but not as good. I'm 5'11 and use the medium on both. You may want the tall one.

    Another long journey

    66 here. Two trips over 5000 miles this year, and a number of long weekends. I don't notice any change in desire or pleasure, but I do notice I've dropped about 5 mph from normal riding speed on twisty back roads.

    Dunlop Mutant

    Just put on a set of mutants. They're black, they're round, and have a funky but cool look. I've tried most tires, pr3,4,5 angel gt,and my current favorite road smart 4s. Even a rear shinko once when I was stuck in Arkansas and that was all that was avail. (That one is free to anyone that wants...

    Seat options

    I have 2 fjr's, each with over 60k, and original seats. I don't mind seat for everyday and long weekends, but it can get hard on longer trips. I recently did 11 days, from pa to Colorado to north Carolina and back to pa. 5400 miles mostly all back roads. I used my hunting seat cushion and never...

    Heading West

    I travel with a large coffee mug. First thing in the morning I walk around campground smelling for coffee. Then I strike up a conversation and bum a cup ! Camp hosts if there almost always have some or rv's. About Glacier NP, you can't get on going to the sun highway during the day without...

    Heading West

    When you leave Cody, take the Chief Joseph over to the Bear. Stop in Cooke city for some lunch. Those people took a beating last year with the entrance to Yellowstone closed, and can use all the help we can give them.

    Selling? Handling Test Ride Requests

    Idaho, Utah and Colorado Friends - Ride Planning Advice

    If your in Gunnison, you need to take the road to Buena Vista over Cottonwood pass. Zoom in on the map, tough to find, but paved all the way. Then you can take Independence pass to Aspen. Also, south from Gunnison is the million dollar highway to Durango...... definitely worth seeing!

    2016 and 2007 FJR Still my favorites

    color matters ! In 2009 I flew to Texas from Pa to buy a 2007 with only 1500 miles on it and rode it home because I wanted the cherry red color. In 2017 my son and I were taking a 1 month trip around the country so I needed another. Bought a new leftover '16 but didn't like blue, so with 1 mile...
