It's amazing the number of replies this thread produced... Hell, I was just ranting guys:) Someone mentioned trading for the 06's.... ummm.. I wanna see what the 07's have :D James

I've had her for a year but I don't remember her being this damn hot. Maybe it's the Alabama heat/humidity...I have got to find a way to cool her down. The tank is hot enough to really bother me if I touch it. Sitting on the pillion seat is MUCH cooler. I know all about the heat fixes and I...

I like this alot. Where did you get the drill rod and what diameter is it? James

Man I know I'm gonna get flamed for this :D The GW is probably the best touring bike you can find. It is rock solid, tracks straight as an arrow with hands off bars and is probably has the best ergonomics. I have the chance to drive a gl1800 anytime I want because my father owns one. I will...

It's gonna be Phoenix and Miami in the finals ladies! :yahoo:

Derek, How much tension was on you lines (brake/clutch/throttle/wires)? Did it make things more comfortable for you? How tall are you? what's your inseam? Do you use a stock seat? what year fjr do you have? James

Well, I wonder what an officer would do after you explain why they are there and what they are being used for. It's not like they would be used while driving down the road for 10 miles... I'm guessing 3 seconds at a time.

Hey guys, I have what I think is a good idea to improve visibility especially through intersections. I would try this myself except I am to busy, and have no money right now :D Knowing that there are receptacles in the corners of our headlight enclosures for eurepean bikes, I though it would...

Jesus, how can you guys even insert the key and turn it with all that in your way? James

Jeff, Any more commecnts on the effectiveness of this. I am seriously thinking about it. How much air hits you in the chest now? Does it effect rain protection much? James

Maybe I'll try stretching my self a few inches :D donaldb: whats up with the Avatar? James

Hey guys, I'm 5' 8" and I already have a set of riders on the bike now. problem is that I still have to hug the tank if I want to try and sit straight up. I will one day buy a russell seat and would like to sit further from the tank. What is the limit for raising and bringing the bars back? I...

Can you make an mpeg of them idling and reving? It would be most beneficial. James

Hey guys, I have an 05 with almost 7000 miles. I always thought the valvetrain was loud from the first day I bought it new. However, I am doing what I only imagine many Fjr owners do which is to tilt their head down slightly while riding to see if it's ticking. It is definately more pronounced...

Alright, I guess I will add some comments as well. My S.O. 5' 1" 120lbs, (oops did I say that) likes the back seat alot.. However, she does complain that the stock top bag (with pad) kicks back at her when hitting even small bumps in the road. If anyone has a solution for that, I'm all ears...
