    scored a RDL seat today!

    I'll have to try and call them to see if they can give me the specs from the serial numbers. I have to assume from the firmness of the seat that it was built for a heavyweight like myself.

    scored a RDL seat today!

    I had a RDL on my '05 but sold everything before I deployed to Iraq. Didn't want it sitting around while I was gone and knew I wanted a 2nd Gen when I got back. I had really just started thinking about getting a RDL for my '07 and was occassionaly checking the want adds to see if anyone had one...

    scored a RDL seat today!

    Can't believe it! Went wih a buddy to help him drop off his Ranger for service at the local motorsports shop. While I was waiting, I noticed a 2007 FJR sitting up against the wall and went over to check it out. It had a RDL - dual leather, half moon, with heat. I turned to ask the sales guy if...

    back from Iraq

    yeah, it was only my right hand. Seems that when I roll on the throttle that my wrist gets stuck downward then my thumb goes numb. Then it's hard to re-adjust my hand while keeping the throttle steady. Might need to look into a throttle lock. On my 05 I had risers that went up and back, they...

    back from Iraq

    Again, THANKS to all! I picked the bike up this afternoon... NICE! Had the pleasure of practicing my take-offs on I-270 while it was stop and go traffic due to an accident. The traffic didn't even bother me. For the open roads that I could get it up to speed, placing my feet on the highway pegs...

    back from Iraq

    We fell under 4th INF Div for a brief time until 1st Cav took over. Heck we changed support units so many times, not sure if there wasn't another unit inbetween them.

    back from Iraq

    Hi all, got back from Iraq last week and been on the prowl for a nice Gen II. Just struck a deal on a 2007 AE (5300 miles) for a great price, also has a bunch of farkles included. I'm not real familiar with the eletronic shift but from what I've read it becomes second nature after time. If...

    What to do, what to do?

    Roger... that's the way I read it. Still funny as hell! Got her ASS whipped by the pillion seat. That's what I figured would be the downfall of that bike for me. My wife actually enjoyed the pillion seat on the FJR. It was the only bike were she would ask when I was gonna take her for a ride.

    What to do, what to do?

    Thanks Sliderule! I'm hopeing for that outcome also! I don't think I can afford to rent one for 6 months. Hell, if I could there'd be no debate, I'd just go pay cash. ---------- once with my wife as passenger. She tapped out real quick ---------- That's funny right there!

    What to do, what to do?

    Hi all, I ended up selling my '05 back in January in preparation for deployement; with training at Ft. Riley prior. I couln't justify leaving my bike in the garage for over a year and figured I could use the money in other places. Now that spring has arrived and gas prices are through the...

    Beyond the FJR...

    I love the look of the Raider :dribble: with the exception of the rear wheel... It just looks too small in comparison They need to throw some serious rubber back there or drop the ass end some more

    Russell Seat

    I just picked up a used one :yahoo: . I really don't think they are much use except to remind you not to slouch. You really can't lean back unless you have super long arms or if your seat is built to sit close to the tank. Maybe there is some benifit I haven't figured out yet.

    Coast to Coast in 5 days

    Wayne not trying to hijack, but to answer your question Still don't know what area I'll be going to yet, won't know untill I complete the training at Ft. Riley. Right now they have me slated for the MITT; living with and training the security forces over there, either Iraq or Afganistan. Still...

    Coast to Coast in 5 days

    That's extreme! :clapping: I'm jealous! :dribble: I am really wanting to get out on a long ride but can't decide on a destination within the time available. What really sucks is that i'll be heading to Iraq in the spring and it's getting cold so my riding time is running out. I'm debating...

    Russell A$$ Couch

    While everyone and their brother was occupied by the December group buy. I was able to purchase what appears to be an older Day Long seat on Ebay ($455 shipped, front and back redone in vinyl w/ backrest and pouch). Well after returning from a Texas business trip it was already at the house. I...

    Looking for suggestions on my new 05' FJR

    Welcome Big- T. Definately look into the grip puppies, just watch when it gets rainy and cold. Do a search for " master yoda riding position", it'll help with the lower back an improve your endurance. Also look into removing one revolution on the throttle spring, it helps prevent hand cramp...
