    For sale, 09 FJR1300A, 11k, $7250

    Thanks, guys. I'll try to get some photos up this weekend. I am going to order the mirror this weekend as well. Being the bike is black, you don't notice the damage until you look at it, walking by you wouldn't see it. I see why these bikes are so heavy, they are built pretty stout. Yeah, fly...

    Aerostich Crash Tested Suit Report

    Be sure to discuss the replacement of your gear with the insurance company. They are liable for everything damaged. Glad you are safe, that is a pretty good testament to that suit.

    Spray-on paint protection

    I put the 3M film on my car and parts of the bike. If you spray the area with Meguiar's quik detailer first, you can move the film around. Then squeegee the liquid out and it sticks. My car has had it for 5+ years now but at 95k, it is starting to look its age. Top of the bags is a good idea...

    Ever have a ride like this?

    It's all about comfort level with the bike. My last bike felt more like you had put on a motorcycle suit and had full control. I rarely get that now, which is one main reason I am trying to move on. I just can't get into that groove and every move just feels pushed. It is a great feeling when...

    What is market value for quick sale? 09 11k

    thanks, all. I've advertised it on Craigslist and the local paper here, with good description and pics. I had it listed for 8k throughout this year. I didn't do as well here because I would assume most here know what a raven looks like. I have no delusions that I will get anywhere near what I...

    What is market value for quick sale? 09 11k

    I've been trying to move my 09 FJR for a year. Then the unthinkable happened, it fell off its stand. I got the insurance claim and will fix most of the plastic and such, but the small scrapes in the exhaust pipe and the hand guards will go unrepaired. The bags were not on the bike at the time...

    Tankbag - handlebar clearance

    I have a Firstgear Laguna with the GPS pocket and such. Big bag and does touch the handlebars at lock. Worth it for long trips though, the GPS pouch is pretty nice.

    What is the preferred boot of the FJR riders?

    Two pair of Sidi. One for warm weather and walking, the other wet/cold weather but are stiffer in the sole. Neither are great protection, but better than Reeboks.

    favorite high milage tire

    I like the 023-GTs. But at 7k miles, they are starting to show uneven wear like the 021's that came factory. I'll probably try the PR's next.

    And people used to say I had too much caliber with the 30-06 going after those varmints.

    Here is my dilemma - motorcycle idiot

    So, get a ski mask, then knock over the local 7-11, and "accidentally" drop the wallet when exiting. Get a free slurpy and nail the bum all at once... Sounds like this guy is a tool. His worst punishment is losing that stuff because it inconveniences him. You talk to him, the police talking to...

    3M Defender Paint Protection (Removeable)

    I have it on my car, works well. Now that it is 5 years old, it is losing its invisibility. I have also installed in on the FJR in a few spots like the tank and where my knees touch. I noticed there are a couple pieces already on the FJR from the factory by the luggage mounts.

    Good thing I said my prayers.

    You have two misconceptions in your post. 1. Drivers pay enough attention while driving and before a lane change to look in their mirrors or notice other vehicles around them. Loud pipes, glaring lights, rabid cocaine addicted zombie monkeys on fire riding pillion, people don't notice shite on...
