Awesome looking pair of gloves! One note of caution on the hard plastic knuckle guard. Ken Meese - BMW K1600 LD rider extraordinaire- had a get off a couple of IronButt's ago and broke his hand (among other things). It seems his hand smacked the concrete and the hard plastic knuckle guard...

Hilarious! Great ride report RedFish. I love riding in Arkansas!

Been away for awhile and just came across this. I can't say how sorry I am. I came to motorcycles late and FJR's were my first love. Joining this forum, it was quickly apparent who the "characters" were. I loved to read Don's posts and would search through old threads just to find some more of...

Redfish - Laam seems to be a great alternative to RDL. Let us know how it works out.

Get the F out! -8 out isn't right! Head to Arizona man!

I think the Canyon Cages on the 2013 look great. The stone gray and black - kind of has that whole "Raider" vibe going on! The 2014 looks awesome too - this is a shot of Mike Cataldo's bike - the best looking 2014 I've seen - IMO! I even posted this on the K1600 site trying to drum up some...

Not a dual sport but I bought a CBR250R to "learn on". After thrashing that bike for about 3K miles I finally graduated to the FJR. Can't say I miss getting blown all over the road while trying to maintain 60 MPH @ WOT in a stiff head wind. It's a fine bike - no doubt but the FJR is really much...

Well documented - Fairlaner started it!. Go FatSider and your GPS and Speedo will match - dead nuts!

I'm so envious of a you! A wife who rides - a FJR none the less. Congratulations! I'm trying to coax Lauren to even ride pillion on a motorcycle let alone ride one herself! All's not lost though - she is a huge sport's fan - so we manage - for now!!

I guess I have the "new" smuggler on the 2013. If your going Corbin - what about just getting the front w/ the smuggler. I couldn't the imagine just the front in vinyl being that much more than the competitors.It's an off the shelf seat.

I really felt for you when I originally read this thread. Glad things have taken a turn for the better health wise - and welcome back to the FJR!

I'm running Tech-Spec Snakeskin pads on my 2013. They apply easily, stick like glue, and can be removed easily.

+1 on that! It seems like BMW has really begun to get the kinks worked out since the initial release in 2011. Really hit and miss on the early stuff - some guys with 2011 pre-orders no issues at all - some with all kinds of problems. Time will tell....

Yes - called "Mineral White Metallic". 4 coats supposedly - hope it holds up well to bug strikes

After lurking on the K1600Forum for the last 2 years I finally pulled the trigger. I bought a new 2014 K1600 GTL Exclusive from BMW of North Dallas. Good deal, easy transaction and great people to work with - I highly recommend them. Thanks to Top_Speed1 (KJ) for his excellent advice during the...
