    Light kit for trunk

    Got an admore light kit for my top box. Got it installed today. Turn signals are yellow and the brake does 3 quick flashes before going to a solid red. Really like it, will make the bike a lot more visible.

    moore mafia ecu flash

    I was wondering if anybody has gotten the moore mafia ecu flash. I have had it since 2017 but started thinking it might be worth it to get a flash.

    I dropped her again.

    I was out riding at a local lake just enjoying the day today. Decided to do a u turn but it was going uphill slowly, when i got halfway around gravity took over and down she went. I went rolling a couple times and listening to the bike hit the road was not nice. Only dropped her twice now last...

    my fjr 1300

    Here is my 2016 es, bought used with 13 miles in 2017. Came with the factory top box and I love the extra storage. Have tipover bars and bag guards. cox radiator guard, and the yamaha touring screen. Sargent seat that is ok but not great. Need to get a russell day long and the bike will be near...

    Kawasaki new muscle cruiser

    Heard a rumor on you tube about Kawasaki possibly coming out with a cruiser with the h2 engine in it. Sounds great to me. Hopefully the dont pull a yamaha move like the vmax and have a 100 mile range or something like that that would really reduce the number of buyers. I think if they make it...

    Russian engine work

    Found this on you tube, I have been studying Russian but have a hard time following it. Seems he had a major problem with his fjr, I watched another video where he installs cylinder liners also.

    My new Triumph

    Had a 2005 rocket 3 but hit a deer and totaled it. Was really missing the uniqueness of the rocket. I found a very lightly used 2018 (123miles) and just could not resist.  Love my fjr but I love the torque of the rocket, the unique sound and looks. Still have the fjr as it is probably the best...

    what is the highest mph speeding ticket you have had on a motorcycle?

    Just got back from Kansas City and found myself riding a bit quicker that i should have been. Was in lower 40's and the fj really felt like it had some extra go in that temp. I got rid of my zx14 because i really was riding way too fast and now i am finding I am still riding fast maybe 10 or...

    handlebar shake with no hands on bars

    I have found that under 50-55mph if you take your hands off the bars the bars will start to shake and then get worse very fast. I did have a no speed drop 1 week after I bought the bike but now am coming up on 5k miles. Bike is smooth at any speed with hands on the bars. Yes I realize hands go...

    Handlebar shake

    My bike when going 50mph or under if you let go of the handle bars in nothing flat it will shake so bad you have to get your hands back on the bars. Not a big problem as that is where your hands are supposed to be anyway I just feel it should not do this. I did drop the bike at no speed after...

    dropped my new fjr!

    I had just finished installing the touring windscreen and went for a ride. The screen is great. Enjoying the 6th day of owning my new fjr. Pulled into the garage and all of a sudden it is falling and I could not stop it. I am not sure what happened, did not have the kickstand all the way down...

    Had a 2011 before and loved it but sold it as I did not like it for 2 up with the wife. Now I have had a stratoliner in the garage for awhile and we go on rides with that (she calls it "our" bike). I have been working on her for awhile but got the ok to trade my triumph thunderbird storm in on a...

    zx-14

    I traded my fjr a while back although I loved that bike it just was not working for the wife and I. Missed the speed, smoothness, ability to turn without scraping pegs. I bought a Yamaha stratoliner and we have customized and enjoyed it but really wanted another fj or something like it. Was at...

    2013 stratoliner S

    Traded my fjr in on a new 2013 deep blue Stratoliner S. Fjr is an amazing bike but between my wife hating the back seat (not just padding but room was a huge issue. Also I could not drive the speed limit, not at all, was hauling ass everywhere and enjoying it, was a matter of time before I got...

    Best seats?

    Love my fjr, hate the corbin seats it came with. The passenger seat has a lip in back that does not give my wife enough room. They are way too hard for my liking. Was thinking about trying a sargent back seat for the wife because it is flat. Probably a front sargent also. Then if they don't work...

    Compared to other bikes you have owned what do you like most and the least about the fjr.

    Most: quiet, good horsepower and torque, adjustable windshield, easy to turn, easy to stop, quick, very easy to change the oil and check your oil, centerstand (lot of winter time to sit on it, also makes it easy to clean your rim, check your tire, etc.), Seats come off easy(not that I take them...

    Possible 2011 fjr owner

    I just finished a test ride on a silver 2011 fjr1300 and I love it! I've had big cruisers my last 3 bikes and after this ride i'm wondering why. Had a Yamaha raider which is a good bike, then a Triumph Rocket 3 which I really liked but hit a deer and totaled it, then I bought a Suzuki c109rt and...

    fjr for me

    I joined in March and have been thinking about a fjr or concour 14 for a while, except in May i traded my Yamaha Raider in for a Triumph rocket 3 (one of 3 bikes i really wanted). Loved my raider but i guess not that much since i traded it. Anyway i had a rocket with corbin bags and fairing and...
