[QUOTE="David Foley, post: 1093001, member: 30112"] Love the FJR - It's not leaving the garage. If I do get a second bike I will strip the FJR of all LD farkles and use it for local/regional rides. After adding just about every farkle available to my 2013 I've decided I'm not a big fan of adding after market farkles to vehicles - two wheeled or four wheeled. They usually work - to a point - but don't quite work as well as factory options. My perfect LD bike will have from the factory: [LIST][*]GPS [*]XM Radio [*]Comm System [*]Aux Fog Lights [*]Battery under the seat. [*]Aux power outlets [*]Better wind protection - not just a bigger screen but a bigger fairing. [*]Heated Grips [*]Heated Seat [*]Cruise Control [/LIST] The usual suspects are the K1600 and GW. I am not sold on either - the K1600 for reliability issues and the GW because it's outdated technology and a whale. The Triumph made a stab at it with the Trophy but it looks funky to me. I think Yamaha has the best brand going. I would like to see them step up and build a serious LD bike with these factory options. Think the Russell for the FJR is probably the best option for LD but don't like the looks. BTW - Corbin is MUCH better than stock. Just not the best for 1K days. [/QUOTE]
