You guys won't remember me, but I was the owner of an 05 FJR and occasionally frequented this board. I only owned it for about a year and traded it off for a Multistrada. That was 2 years ago. I still have the Multi and I love it as much as the day I bought it. But, being pretty much addicted to...

Well, after a year of an "off again, on again" relationship, I finally sold the FJR. I have to say that it was one of the easist bikes to ride I have ever owned...and I have owned a bunch of them! For some reason I could just never jell with the bike. What I really want to say though, is "Thank...

For some unknown reason it has taken me a while to fully bond with and appreciate my FJR. Circumstances have not allowed me to take any kind of real trip on the bike and things do not look too promising this year either. My wife and I vacation in Naples, Florida at least once a year. My wife’s...

I recently purchased one of Gary's racks for my bike. Like many of you, I have an accumulation of tank bags and other bags from the various bikes I have owned. I had an RKA seat bag and I thought of putting it on my rack. It will fit, but it is a little large. I saw that another FJR vendor...

I am interested in hearing from you Corbin Close owners if your reach to the ground was actually improved with this seat compared to the stock seat. Even though it claims a lower seat height I am aware that the construction and shape of a seat can affect reach. I had a Russell on an RT, and even...

For any of you Southern Indiana or Northern Kentucky riders looking for a destination this Sunday, consider the 16th Annual Street Rod, Antiques & Classic Car and Truck Show in Bristow, Indiana. It is located on SR 145, just north of Tell City and south of Possum Junction (no kidding). There is...

I was coming back from the Cincinnati BMW Open House today and came across another 05 at the intersection of 446 & 58. You followed me in to town. I pulled off to grab an espresso and thought you might follow, but I lost you. If you see this, send me an email, maybe we can get together, kick...

I just received my Rifle Sport shield and thought I would post a few initial impressions for those of you considering a shield change. As you read this keep in mind my particular perspective. I am short at 5'5",and am coming to the FJR from a bike with a very small shield (GS) that also...

Well, I have not really had the chance to test my new FJR much lately, but I am looking at the likelyhood of making a change to the windshield. I am a short rider, 5'5", with a 29"-30" inseam. I ride with the shield all the way down and it is not too bad, but it is not very comfortable or...

I have been riding motorcycles nearly all my life. I have owned many Japanese bikes over the years. About 8 years ago I began riding Ducatis and BMWs...not because they were "better," but partly because they were different and appealed to me. Now that I have gone from a BMW GS to the FJR, you...
