I had the ST1300 for a while, and it's riding position is a little more upright. But it's close enough to the FJR that I don't think it makes a big difference. Handle bar raisers, the seat, and your posture will be more important. Before you $pend big bucks changing the bike, I'd recommend...

Come on guys, it's bad form to talk about the selling price in this way. The seller can list whatever price he wants, and it's "OBO" anyway. If the item it priced too high, it won't sell - that's what happens in a free market.

Damn .. just found out today that I have to go in to work tomorrow. I hope to make it to the next tech day.

I have been a member here for almost a year, but haven't met anybody from this forum in person yet. I think this will be a good opportunity to meet some of you folks. I hope to have some time off in the afternoon to make it to Owosso. I don't really have any major service due for my '08, so...

Sent you a PM.

29 here with an '08 FJR, '05 VTX1800 with sidecar, and an '08 BMW R12R. I will be going down to just the one bike soon .. guess which one I'll be keeping? :P

It's a small price to pay to get to live in Colorado! ;)

Meese was in an accident and is out of the rally. Here's hoping he recovers soon!

This is a very interesting project. One suggestion that I have is that you should consider having the cruise map limited to 5th gear only (or maybe 4th and 5th gear). This is an "AND" condition in addition to your already existing criteria to enter the cruise map. Do you have the gear...

New '07 AE for 10.7k. Link. I am not associated with the seller.

I live in Michigan. Last year I went down to Texas to pick up a Honda VTX1800 sidecar without having seen it in person. I did see plenty of photos and talked to the owner. I go with my gut feeling when it comes to trusting a seller or not. In this case, the seller seemed honest and appeared to...

Are you looking for the Yamaha trunk in particular? If not, there are many other companies that make motorcycle trunks. Link I have personally used the Bestem trunk on my previous bike (ST1300) and found it very functional. I paid about 70 bucks for it new and it did its job very well...

It's a beautiful bike, but it looks HUGE. How does the slow speed handling compare to the FJR? Does it have a reverse gear, like some of the other BMW K bikes?

Congrats! I would recommend adding sliders and / or tip over guards as your first farkle. It is cheap insurance to prevent expensive repairs resulting from a drop. I am looking forward to riding my bike back home in a couple of weeks. My ride back will be a bit longer than yours though - I'll...

My order of priority is: 1. The TOGs should not contribute to an accident by coming into contact with the road while the bike is leaned over at speed (my safety). 2. They should protect the fairing / bags at low speeds (the bike's safety). 3. They should look good when mounted on the bike. I...

No longer wanted. I bought a seat today from a forum member.

You should check out the BMW F650 GS with the low suspension and low seat option. Don't be put off by the enduro looks - it can be an excellent touring bike and has BMW sidebags available for an integrated look. Another option is a BMW R1200R which is more expensive, but in my opinion is worth...

I am interested in purchasing these crash guards to protect the fairing and the saddlebags in case of very low speed or stationary drops. I would like some feedback from people who have used these TOGs. My questions are: 1. How effective are these guards in case of a very low speed (less than 5...

I'll consider any brand of front seat that fits a gen 2 FJR, including a stock seat. My only criterion is that it should be the same height as a stock seat or lower.

Thanks, but it's already sold. I was late by a couple of hours.
