*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 !!!!

My new front came in yesterday so I cut work short to get the bike to the dealer to install. At installation, the tire only needed 10 grams to balance and I had the dealer put 36 psi in the front since this created the "worst wobble condition" from my previous tire. First ride was much better...

I put on a new set of Storms last week and had the wobble (between 38mph to 52mph) instantly. Much worse below 41 psi (some serious headshake) to the point that Avon and my local dealer said not to ride the bike. If the tire is inflated over 41psi, the wobble is ever so slight so I am still...

I was wanting to make the bike smoother off the bottom. I went for a 1400 mile ride this weekend utilizing the pre-2500 rpm smoothness map mixed with the 01 map and I can confirm this is exactly what I was searching for. It's hard to imagine a bike getting much better than this ....

I do not have slip-ons and I installed the holeshots/wally smoothness map. I used this map for a 2 day 1200 mile trip and I had greatly reduced vibrations all around the RPM range - very smooth. The only negative item I noticed was a small amount of reduction in the power - more noticable from...
