Just tried to install the Calsci tinted shorty. Unfortunately the top two screw holes do not line up with my W bracket. They are half a hole off. No matter how much I fiddled with loosening the other bolts they would not line up. I double checked and yes, I did order the proper model for my '05...

No bags does make a difference in handling. haven't had them on my bike in 3 or 4 years. But I don't do any LD either. Plus the bike is way sexier without 'em.

Similar story. Haven't rode much last couple years. Thought lots about selling the bike. In the end didn't have the heart to sell it. So instead I bought an RF1100 two weeks ago. Last night I put a set of PR3's on it. Now I'm going to ride it. I think this is my first post on this board in 3...

If you haven't done at least 130 on your FJR then you haven't ridden it. :devil:

The thing about commuting in Seattle is it gets a little dicey between October and February. The reason is it's usually pretty dark during commute hours. With the darkness and the rain your visibility to cagers goes way down and ability to maneuver is also decreased. Of course that applies to...

In his picture the tread at top left looks like it's worn down to the bar or past. That would indicate time to get a new tire, especially if your going on a long trip. If the wear bars are gone it seems to me all your tread would be gone too, so yes that would be a bigger worry.

I wouldn't take that tire on a 2500 mile trip with wear bars showing. Why risk it?

Yeah, but you could have saved a lot of typing by just stating the obvious: ST sux compared to FJR. B)

I've had this kit on my bike for a couple of seasons and I'm happy with it.

I have an '05. I have only one heat-related problem with it and that's my feet. They get a little too toasty even on cool days. Can those of you with Holeshot headers say how much of that could be eliminated by getting the header and getting rid of the cats? Seems to me that might be the major...

I have an Olympia Airglide 2 and really like it. It's warm and waterproof with the liner and really moves air through it without the liner. Linky In case you're wondering that is me in the pictures. ;)

I truly believe that maybe 10-20 percent of drivers take driving seriously. The rest consider it secondary to whatever activity they're doing at the time (cell phone blabbing, smacking kids, eating, jacking off... whatever)

That's the way to do it! B) If you like it, no worries. Also, I always hold open the possibility that my opinions are all F'd up! Dmitri Martin said this: "A sweater will protect you from the cold, and some vests can protect you from bullets. But a sweater vest protects you from attractive...

Agreed... Hi Viz is fugly as all hell. Olympia does make great gear though. I love my olympia airglide (black and red)

Cases off all the time! Feels better, looks better. I have a tail bag. For really long trips where I needs lots of crap then the bags go on.
