Another "thumbs up" for "Sport's Effects" & Jeff's help. I got the carbon Leo Vince pipes there. The pipes arrived right on time.

Here's one taken last fall on the way to Mt St Helens, Washington.

I've riden the Russell on a 05 FJR and REALLY liked it for comfort. But, I went with the Sargent over the Russell thinking the Sargent would allow for easier leaning off-in the corners. The Sargent is not a "perfect" for my arse, but a huge improvement over the stock seat. If I had it to do...

Right on! Thanks for the replies. I obviously overlooked that when ordering. :)

So, here's what I got (Model 641) But I was expecting to see the red-handled adjuster attached to the hydraulic unit. Am I missing something here? Many thanks.

Heading west on Hi Way 90, through Sprague, WA, I guarantee no discrimination - they bust everyone! Most importantly, they use Laser radar while waiting over the crest of a hill (When I crested the hill, the V-1 went absolutely nuts -but it was too little, too late). Be Careful in that area!!!

I have an 05, and was with Dairyland. I just switched to GMAC and saved $181.00 a year for the same full coverage.

Damn it all, I'm "in" too ... 641 w/ springs. The stock suspension is just too lazy for this bike!

Sunset on the Puget Sound toward the end of the Peninsula one day run - Olympic Rain Forest, same run -

I just installed the Leo Vince CF cans today on my 05. They look and sound great! The machine work and packaging was second to none!!! I wasn't expecting a noticeable change in performance. Let’s just say, I was pleasantly surprised. The throttle response it definitely “snappier”. :D...

I'm surprised to see how many praise the Stones in the rain The first time taking an extended group ride in the rain went something like this: I overshot a turn-off, and waited to see what the ABS would do. The ass end kicked out about 1 1/2 feet. Flat Trackin' it in the rain. :fool...

Plus one more

Well, that explains it! I ran mine into the red (10k ish) trying to get by a cavalcade of cars stuck behind the proverbial U-Haul. Once safely past, I thought, hey, wait a minute. Isn't this bike supposed to have a rev-limiter? So, now I know - 10.5, here I come! :lol: Congrats on the...

Tom: I'm in that "been there - done that" club of broken ribs. And it's no sneezin' matter. Best of luck on your next "ride" whatever you decide.

Here, Here! I love the heat on my legs from the 05. It wasn't bothersomel during the summer months; and, I sure love it now! Side Note: While riding in the rain, with the stock shield fully extended, it creates the perfect downdraft to wash the ensuing raindrops off the face-shield. Cool...
