*This is my perception only* however, I do not like the way the fjr handles after it was lowered. The back was lowered (going off of memory) 25mm and the front forks could only slide up around 15mm. After this I could never get the suspension to work correctly and the bike tends to chop when...

Calimus, You and the better half sound a lot like my wifey and I. She bought me an '03 in 9/02 (anniversary gift) and I bought her a '04 FZ6 a year later. In early '06, she started riding the '03 and told me I should go get a new one so she could have the '03 and sell the FZ6. That is why my...

Great route, Jagermeister! It was a damn good time! See everyone on the next run...

What time? I might be able to sneak out early in the AM!!

I use the same helmet as you and had the same issue so I opted for another route. I set aside my cal sci windshield and went back to the stock windshield ('06 model) and purchased a Laminar Lip for it. It is a little ugly but damn is it effective! No whistling noises through the helmet at...

Yep! That is the stretch! Take 10 out of Alexandria to Powersville. Then you actually hit 19 south for less than 1 mile and there is 165 which will take you to 32. I need to check with the wifey but I would up for the run!

If you get a chance (and maybe you already have) 10 to 165 to 32 is a great route. Esp. on 32 from Sandy Hook to 23 - I do believe this section is my favorite (in KY). No Leos, few cagers, just great road. We are damn lucky to have all of these great rodes by us...one of these days I want to...

For those of you that ride in N. KY I am pleased to say 22, 915 and *most* of 10 has been repaved! 159, 491, and a host of others are in very good shape. Enjoy! KYFJR

Funny you wrote this because I just got pressured into washing the bike for charity! Amazing what a clean windshield looks like! The wash team: And the dry team:

Not to hyjack, but I have a Cal Sci medium that greatly reduces my fuel mileage in the full upright position because it is straight verticle and I wish it had more of an angle (I'm a little shy about using the spacers). Is the Yamaha touring or the V-stream angled at all and can you tell a...

Fantastic!

Add another one to the list w/no regrets on my '06! However, I was a little nervous that it wouldn't catch after reading some of the stories but no problems...

A 2002 Honda ST1100. He absolutely loves this bike and he fits it very well... It just lacks passing power :rolleyes:

I feel like the luckiest person on earth because the father/son duo strikes again! Last year as some may remember, pops and I did a SS1 together to get dad "officially" back onto the riding scene. Ever since we finished the SS1 we had been talking about doing another LD ride except we thought...

Show'um what your made of and kick some butt !!!!
