    MV Motorrad handlebar risers

    I have brand new, in the box, never installed MV Motorrad riser system. Bought it for 2016 FJR but decided to stay with stock. I think it fits earlier models as well. $200. I can email pictures.

    The stock seat

    I still have a stock seat on my 2016 FJR. I retired in June and promptly took off on a 7000 miles trip, covering most of western US and Canada. As I designed my itinerary, I planned to stop in Redding, CA and have Seth Laam make me a new seat. I met with Seth on July 12 (11 days before the...

    Long trip planning

    Hey guys, thanks for all the equipment and route tips. I had new PR4's mounted on Tuesday, so that's done. Also had them change break fluid and replace the air filter, and grease everything. Ordered two types of cooling/wet garments (from LDComfort, and another brand vest). Will report on...

    Long trip planning

    Again, huge thanks for all the tips. I ordered some cooling items from LDComfort and will rig up some type of a hydration apparatus. The old credit card is getting a good work out . I keep looking at Nakusp rally and trying to figure out if I could fit it in somehow. I always wanted to ride...

    Long trip planning

    Thanks to everyone for the feedback! Already got some ideas I wouldn't have thought of. Like changing the route south out of Seattle, skipping Oregon coast (slow speed limits and tourist crowds) for an inland route that will be faster and less crowded. I was going to take 299 from the coast...

    Corbin seats for 2006-2017 FJR

    Thanks guys. I know it takes miles to break in, but it just feels like I am sitting in a "bowl" with no room to move. I like to wiggle up and back when riding and this seat is not allowing it. If it does not sell I will keep riding it, alternating with stock, and maybe it will get better. I...

    Corbin seats for 2006-2017 FJR

    Corbin seats, rider + passenger, bought for 2016 FJR. New from Corbin less than a month ago. Two rides were enough to determine my butt will not be compatible with this seat. Paid $701, will sell for $600 and I will pick up shipping anywhere in lower 48. Black leather, very well built and...

    Considering Rejoining the FJR Ranks - Question for 2016 ES owners

    Hi Nels, I traded an '07 ST1300 for a 2016 ES, six months ago. Great ride overall. Suspension and cruise are awesome, led lighting is great at night, very light clutch. I love the ease of changing suspension settings with a few clicks. At 80mph you are turning about 3,950-4000 rpm in 6th...
