    Hey texasevo, Add $1,000 to your max budget and I'll sell you a perfect '06 with the OEM top case (that's $1,000 right there), Mccruise control ( that's another $1,200), Cal-Sci w/s, handguards, sliders w/ hwy pegs, plus many more extras. 35,000 miles, but looks, runs and rides like 3,500 miles...

    Route reccomendations for July 4th weekend

    I stayed at Rossport the 1st night. A good day's ride and absolutely beautiful. It's also the oldest inn on Lake Superior. Great food also. Have fun and watch for the moose! jevers

    Puttin' the feelers out...

    Hey, As long as you're accepting newbies (just to the group rides not to the forum that is), count me in as well. Thanks for putting this together and I look forward to meeting all fellow FJR's. jevers

    Gibsonia, PA, Crossroads Motorsports

    WOW! Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I had the ignition recall done by my dealer and guess what?! You guessed it, they scratched the shit out of it! It looks like the "tech" (read hack) used the left upper fairing near the glove box for a work bench. I immediately called them and my service...

    yamaha larger windshield

    I'd have to agree with bogus in that most accessories are a personal choice because everyone is a little different from the next guy but, I'd have to disagree with the unattainable pocket of still/quiet air. The ONLY time I get any noise is if there is a strong cross-wind. I have the Calsci...

    Does anyone own Bohn-Armor-Pants

    I've been wearing the Bohn armor pants for 3 years now and although I find them a little warm to wear in the heat of summer, I like the protection they provide. I tried some armor mesh pants from Tourmaster and they were cool but the armor "floated" around too much to offer any real protection...

    Chicago Cycles

    I bought my '06 A from them in Dec. of '06 for $10,500 ( I paid tax and registration when I got home) out the door. I held the salesman's feet to the fire at least 6 times over the phone making him promise me that I would only pay that amount. Other than having to wait for nearly 4 hours to get...

    Midwest Cycle Minneapolis,MN.

    First off let me say that I firmly believe in word of mouth advertising, good or bad. This started out good as I have had 4 or 5 sets of tires mounted by these guys with no scratches and lots of referrals given out by me for the good work. Then it happened, I hand my pristine rim over to this...

    Back Seat Luggage

    Hey for what it's worth, I take the rear seat off and secure the pack, duffel, roll bag, etc. with 2 straps in a "X" formation. The buckles are under the seat when it's locked back into place. I know the scumbag could just cut the straps, but if they want it they're gonna get it no matter what...

    RAVENRIDER, I agree, each to his own, but do you think the hand wings look good? Just curious. jevers

    Baker Air wings

    OK, Does anyone know of a wing that would mount to the 1/4 turn screws that allow the lower cowls to be moved in or out? The wings would be about 3" or 4" wide by 12" or 14" high. I don't know, but I feel you could dump alot of cool air into the seat area on hot days. Any ideas? Thanks, jevers...

    stock seat mods by Spencer,s

    Well, I finally got the chance to put 1,200 miles on my Spencer modded seat and I can tell you it is definitely worth the few bucks it cost. I rode 250 miles a day for four days and my ass got a little sore only on the 4th day because it did get up to 87 degrees. I think a sheep skin cover might...
