So several times I've ridden the bike without luggage and it seems like, even with the bags empty, when they're on the bike, they definitely have an impact on ride. seems like the bike just handles better without them in place... Anyone else notice this? I did notive I picked up some more...

I bought my FJR late last summer and it had about 4K miles on the odometer at the time. Previous owner had never had it to the shop for any service. I adjusted the steerer nut on it when I bought it because the triple tree was loose. I also did oil/filter/shaft. Then I crashed the bike in an...

So this past Friday was the first time I have ridden my bike any appreciable distance since my crash back in November. We had unseasonably warm weather here in Northern Virginia, so I was able to ride the 160miles round trip to and from my client sites. This gave me time to truly give the...

Looking for two of the panels that close out the openings where the hardbags mount. I'm missing one upper and one lower panel, but if someone wants to get rid of the set, I'll take them all. Mike

So I was down last week for three days dealing with a flu bug and during one of the days when I was feeling more alive, I decided to "tackle" installing the PCA kit on my side bags. I'd had them both painted while the bike was in the shop being repaired, and figured I'd protect the paint by...

It was bound to happen. 28 years of riding on the street and never once had I been down. I have always considered myself a good motorcycle rider, safe and reasonable in my decisions on the road. And today none of that mattered. This afternoon I left my house on my 2008 FJR1300 to test out my...

So this morning I left the house to a nice 34 degrees. It was Chillie to say the least. My feet were the coldest, as my wintex boots weren't up to the task, even with my wool sox... Hands were "OK" with my snowmobile gloves on, and I'll fix that issue when the OEM heated grip kit arrives. My...

So I finally got a Vstream Windscreen, the PCA rack, and a mount for my gps. I also had to do a little maintenance. Oil, filter, and shaft oil, along with adjusting the idle back up to 1100RPMs and setting up the suspension for my weight and riding style... I still need to get the...

I just bought an 08 with 4K miles on it. The bike comes with sliders, and reflective material on the side bags, but otherwise is stock. I've ordered a GPS mount (master cylinder style) and a powerlet... I need heated grips (Prefer OEM), a backrest for the wife (Including a luggage rack, and a...

The trip that never was to be… Or, don’t plan a trip for Friday the 13th I have two good friends (one is my business partner) who I have planned and gone on motorcycle trips with over the last few years. Every time we leave in the summer time and head out for 3-4 days riding motorcycles on...
