Good question. I only really ever used the Roadcrafter when I was commuting on a previous bike. About a 70 mile RT Mon-Fri. Worked great in most weather. You definitely will get to work dry and even not as sweaty as you would think in the summer. And we do have warm summers in north Texas. But...

I have worn Aerostich for many years. Even sent my original Darien back to have a couple of fixes done. My Roadcrafter has not been worn that much but is also great quality.

Well it was an interesting evening. Met Rene, Grahame and Stewart. One Honda, a Triumph and a BMW GS in attendance, next to my FJR. Less time than usual spent in the parking lot looking at mods to our respective bikes and more time eating a really good (but pricey) meal at Ida Claire's in...

Read an article somewhere several years ago about this place called Motopia that had a biker cafe in Dallas. The spot is apparently no longer in operation but they still get together for drinks/dinner at local Dallas spots for a bike nite. Their site also shows they organize rides around the...

Used Soupy's on a previous Honda ST1300 and on an earlier FJR. Worked well for me. 5'8 and a 30" inseam. Able to flat foot the bike now and the only issue with Soupy's was the center stand was nearly impossible to use without putting the rear tire on a 2x4 so I could get the leverage to move it...

I did not know the FJR bags would fit. Interesting.

Probably posted this elsewhere but I wanted a lighter sport touring bike couple of years ago and traded my 2017 FJR for the first version of the 900GT. Three cylinders, chain drive, manually adjusted shield, definitely lighter but with some other deficiencies I discovered after some longer rides...

Well, as they say in science (and other stuff too) the simplest answer is sometimes the right one. Or maybe that was Occam's razor. After all this time, having checked voltages, deinstalled my Admore taillight, charging my battery and still not finding the resolution to my darkened headlights, I...

Agree we need to do another ride to meet for breakfast again! Maybe meet down in Granbury on the square? Keith Quigley 2019 FJR (My 2nd one, after previous ST1300s and ST1100s)

Dang missed this apparently.

Thanks, but where is the alternative fuse block. Don't recall seeing one.

I am still day driving only! But I understand it was too hot in my garage too. Much cooler now though! One of these days, I am going to have to disconnect my Admore light bar, which was the last thing I did. Likely the culprit but unsure how to reconnect it without dropping voltage, if that is...

Ah yes, the venerable ST. Have had 4 of them over the years, first an ST1100 without ABS and then relaced that for one with ABS. Later did the same mistake in buying an early ST1300 w/o ABS. Later changed that as well. Loved those bikes. I actually organized a fall long distance ride for ST...

Very fascinating. Good link, thanks!

Very nice color.
