[QUOTE="FJR Bill, post: 1180875, member: 20779"] With only a few miles on your FJR I don't think you've yet experienced its superb virtues compared to a Harley. It's smooth acceleration can make passing cars/trucks in a flash. Get on a safe straight and let the RPM's build, this is where the difference is light night and day. Just be careful as 100 MPH comes in a few short seconds and it's not even stressed. The stock brakes in my opinion are superb especially with ABS. You might try some aggressive stops. Likely you'll be amazed. Cornering is natural and easy, more lean angle than most if not all Harleys. Stock windshield is more for sport riding and good air flow in hot weather. For long distance riding look for a taller/wider windshield. Several options out there and not very expensive. I chose a Cali Sci mid size but I'm only 5ft 8. The large size might work for you. In any case enjoy your FJR and posts your thoughts as you learn the bike. Bill [/QUOTE]
