What a great post and remembrance to your father. I'm glad you feel closer to him and enjoy your new found love of the FJR. I hope you'll have many more great memories and thoughts about your father in your travels.
Take care.
Maybe Mike! I still remember and think about the time my friend and I were riding around NorCal and taking a break at Bullards Bar, and who is there...? You and other FJR riders! That was a great day! And yes, I'll be posting a lot!

I mainly used stock windscreens and modified them to less than sizes for cooler weather. My shortest one is about 9 inches so I get mucho air, use the old up button and it cuts some air. Now granted I get bazar buffeting sometimes, but it's all good to my preferences.
Really motorcycling in general is declining in the US. Most motorcycle shows, gone. Many models no longer cater to the US. We used to be a huge part of the market, now we're nothing. Seems the US motorcyclist is a dying bread. Most "kids" now by smaller bikes etc. No more bad-ass sport bikes or...
I love my V-Stream. I've had it for many years, great for winter. I have about four windscreens (sizes) for different times of years and ride dependent.
