Probably the best thing about the Tiger is that it is such fun to ride. That was something I was kind of missing. Now I'm having fun riding again and that is the most important thing!

Thanks for reminding me about the lights. They were not aimed when I brought it home. It was horrible. I aimed them properly and on a straight level road the low beam is great. Bright, nice spread. But...the projector beam light has a very sharp cutoff at the top. so when you lean over or the...

Ok that was weird. I started to add more then it cut me off and now I cant edit.... I was adding comments about wind protection and noise. The Tigers small windshield is a bit noisey and buffets in some conditions. I installed a very short cut down screen to reduce both. I get wind blast but at...

Hello everyone. I doubt many if any of you will remember me because I didn't post much. I bought an 05 ABS FJR last summer to replace my beloved Kawasaki ZR-7. I traded in the FJR this February on a 2010 Triumph Tiger 1050. The FJR is a great bike but it just didn't fit my riding style. One test...

Well it's been over a month. The combination of better fitting ear plugs and the Windjammer II give me a quiet ride. Now I just need to get to an audiologist. The tinnitus isn't solely from the FJR, it's just gotten worse over the past few months. For what it's worth the Windjammer II cost me...

Thanks for that video. I've ridden 16 many times over the last 8 years on my ZR-7 but had to miss the trip this year due to work. So many great roads in that area. Hopefully next year I'll make it on the FJR.

Thanks to some of you for useful information. The earplugs I bought fit my ears better and made a huge difference. The ones I had been using felt like they were in good but were apparently too thick to fit properly. As for Mr bustanut. You're a fucking asshole. If a certain topic gets your...

I guess I should have said that I dont have a million dollars to find the perfect windshield. I was really looking for other alternatives. I have been researching the natural tinnitus (sp?) cures and considering seeing a doctor about it. I notice that if I put my hand flat under the chin of my...

OK. I bought my 05 FJR just over a month ago and have enjoyed the last 1700 miles. It had a V-Stream barndoor on it and it either directed wind blast right at my head or buffeted me and pulled me forward. I removed that and installed a Cee Bailey concave sport screen. It is a little less noisey...
