[QUOTE="dcumpian, post: 1396481, member: 91281"] The VStream is great...until it gets hot. I put the stock screen back on for the summer because I overheat otherwise. I'll deal with the wind. As far as the wide turn, part of that may be suspension settings, and part of it is the weight of the bike. IIRC you are coming from a smaller, lighter bike? If so, then [B]hppants [/B]comment about committing to a turn is very true. I rode for years and consider myself an experienced rider, but the FJR required some re-learning on my part. Since I bought my FJR, I have adjusted my suspension settings at least three times and have finally found a good compromise setting for [I]most [/I]ride conditions. The bike is very compliant now, but I always need to be aware of the weight in approaching corners. It's gotten way way easier now than when I first got the bike. Regards, Dan [/QUOTE]
