[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1178967, member: 28773"] I have been over the ST/FJR comparison so many times but the best way I found to explain it is: "The ST1300 is like a best friend, always willing to do whatever you want, when you want. Go fast, go slow, drag a peg, cruise slowly, the ST always wants to do whatever you want to do. But the FJR, the FJR is totally different. The FJR is like a little devil riding on your shoulder, always encouraging you to go faster, lean farther, just a few more RPMs... The FJR tries to get you in trouble." When you do your first oil change on the FJR you will be completely over your love for the ST1300. The real fix for the seat is just the same as on the ST1300. Get a custom seat built to YOUR measurements. A Russell Day Long, a Laam Custom, or perhaps one of the Mayer brothers, any of the better custom seat builders will make the whole riding experience better in every way. Windshields are such a personal item that no one can tell you what you should do here. I like the Cee Bailey with the reverse contour but windshield happiness usually comes from experimentation and money spending. Congratulations on your new bike, if you liked your ST1300 you will love the FJR. [/QUOTE]
