I'm going to get a Nelson Rigg half cover but am not sure of what size. I did a search and found many using the XL but I think everyone had a top case (I don't) so should I get the large or would the XL work just as well. Thanks Gary

Got to sit on the new Triumph Trophy today. It looks to be a very nice bike. Bigger that the FJR (about the same as a BMW RT). I liked how it felt sitting on it...knees tuck in tight to the tank, windshield looks like it would work well, good sounding stereo,IPod hook up, XM. If I didn't like...

I am looking at the Bags Connection Engage and City tank bags and am looking for advice. I have not seen either of these in person but have seen pictures of the City bag on a FJR on this forum. It's a good looking bag but looks like it may be a bit bigger than I need. Anyone here using the...

Just got back from a demo ride on the new 1200 Triumph Explorer. This was a lunch model with some extra stuff on it. Very nice bike..ABS, traction control, driving lights, hand guards, skid plate , factory cruise control and taller windshield. It's 570 pounds wet and feels very light ( in a good...

Question for anyone who has the MBL risers (Gen II). Does it cause any problems with raising the gas tank? Thanks Gary

Anyone useing Cortech's new Dryer tankbag? If so how do you like it? Does it touch the tank anywhere? Any pictures of it on the bike? Thanks Gary

My trusty Garmin 2720 died the other day and I need some GPS advice. I stuck the Nuvi 7 series that I use in the car on the bike and it is VERY hard to see the screen unless it is very overcast. Anyone have any experience with the Nuvi 550? Its waterproof which is a plus but I expect it has the...

Just wanted to say thanks to Gary (Garauld) for my luggage rack. I received it in the mail today and as expected it was very nice. This is the second one he has done for me (made one for my 07). If you are looking for a luggage rack he makes a very nice one. Gary

Saw a silver ST on 11E heading in to Greeneville, Tn this afternoon...anyone here? Gary

I just got a rear rack for my 07 and have a question about how much weight will the bike support. Any problem useing a dry bag with about 15 pounds weight? I know there have some cracked rear frames out there so it got me to thinking.... Thanks Gary

Anyone know if there will be anything FJR related going on at bike week? By that I mean maybe some company there doing installs of things. I'd love to have a few things done to the bike but would rather have it done by someone who has some experience rather than me with 5 thumbs on one hand :)...

Anyone have any pictures of a Rifle windshield mounted on a FJR. I didn't care for the ones I've seen on a ST1300 but have not seen one on a FJR..mines a 07 if that matters. Thanks Gary Sorry, I went to Rifles website and found some but am still interested if anyone has any better shorts. My...

I've read alot about the Cee Bailey and the VStrom windshields but was wondering if anyone had experience with both. I'm leaning towards the Cee Bailey +4+2 (thats what they reccommended for my height) but the VStorm sounds good also. I'm actually pretty happy with the stock one except for the...

I did a search useing 'oil' with no results so here is my question. I have a case of Amsiol (10/40) which is what my St1300 called for. Yamaha calls for 20/50 but I see no reason I can't use the 10/40 that I have. Anyone have any thoughts on the subject? Thanks Gary

Whats the best fitting tank bag for the FJR. I have a Cortech which is a nice bag but I don't like the way it sits on the tank due to the forward slope of the tank. I'm thinking one with a cure in it might look the best but not sure which. Woldfman makes a nice one but its only in a strap on...

I just bought an 07 and have about 1300 miles on it so far. The throttle on it pretty much feels like my now gone ST1300 except for one thing. If I am say coming out of a turn and going fairly slow then start uphill and give it the gas slow and easy nothing happens for a second then it hits...

Well called progressive to switch my insurance from the ST1300 over to the FJR..........that didn't go so well. I was paying $340 a year for the ST1300 and now they want $690 for the FJR. Guess I'm going to have to go insurance shopping.

Well it looks like I may be coming over to a FJR. I'm on a ST1300 now and love the bike (I've had 2 ST1100's and this is my second ST1300) so it goes without saying that I like ST's. I'm just having alot of heat issues with it that I don't seem to be able to get rid of (other than that I love...
