    Soft Tail Bag

    I have the Kuryaykun Grand Tour bag and it sits on the stock tail rack. I have a pillion backrest and the HUGE velcro attachment strap wraps securely around that, and the semi rigid bottom of the bag has no problem resting squarely on the stock tail. This bag is ginormous and has great...

    Thinking about Buying an FJR

    Robin, Just heard! Holy smokes... glad you two are OK. Pics are very telling... and sad. Build-up of slimy goo on the road seems to me to be a reason for the State to reimburse you... like a manhole cover missing, or a guardrail sticking out... Chris

    Motor cyclist march issue great fjr photo

    Hmmm, you'd think that if Metz wanted to infer their tires are really made for performance and handling they would have shown an '07... just my 1.5 cents...

    Who has painted their FJR?

    Zip... holy chit, man, that is too ironic!! Three days ago I was showing my wife a sketch of what I was thinking of painting on my 07... it was a Warhawk theme!!! Damned close to what you P'shopped on that (nice work by the way...)...I paint, and one of my genres happens to be aviation art, and...

    Can I import a motorcycle from Canada?

    You might try the Steve McQueen technique... find a few hills along the border fence and get up a head of steam! He had that fat old german warbike and did just fine! Surely the newer Honda version could get better air... Good luck

    Flooring Solutions?

    sheetmetal?... any reason you can't tinsnip some forms around the pipes and framing? It's cheap, comes in large sizes (less work), durable, cleans easy, looks industrial from day-one, chairs will slide easily (especially without the rubber feet!) and it'll be cool to slide around in your socks...

    What's a reasonable price for left over 07 AE?

    Consider used! (HINT: Mine's for sale for $10,00... '07, A model, it has bout 11k miles and is pristine. Lightly farkled (but high quality stuff), and includes a brand new YES warranty started last month...) I don't like the idea of buying new anymore... all of my vehicles were purchased...

    Went to visit the Shuttles

    I heard that for the Gen III Shuttles they have fixed the throttle issue (jerky) , added a scratch resistant coating to the windscreens, that pesky heat issue was solved by FINALLY determining that the panels "out" was for cold weather, and the panels "in" was for hot weather, new ABS, and new...

    Rode a Spyder

    Old Mike... not to worry. You will be gettin' all the chicks on this thing! I rather enjoyed the one I rode. If I had an extra 18k it would maybe be sitting at my house now. People, don't be afraid of things that aren't FJRs. C
