Did another track day last month. I typically only do one a year so I'm certainly no pro nor is the FJR a "track bike" but I gotta give Yamaha some credit... For a shaft drive, 600 pound bike this thing handles and performs more than you would think! It takes some effort but you can get pretty...

Well, I did my first track day at Thompson Motor Speedway last month. It was FANTASTIC! ... but I must admit, even though i have been riding since I was 12 and "think" I'm a pretty good rider, I had some butterfiles. It was great program though with both track time and classroom time and I...

Hi all, Just joined the forum tonight! I'm looking for a backrest for an 06 FJR. I've seen some samples in this forum but so far they all seem to have a single bracket in the middle that then rises to where the backrest mounts to it. Any other styles out there? My old KG backrest for my '81...
