I had to pull out my OEM windshield for a guy that may want it and the invoice for the Rifle was in the box. It is an FJR1300 '06 Tour +3" tall +4 wide

I put a Rifle medium on my 07 back in 2012. I love it. I don't remember whether they sold it as a +3 or what it was other than a "Medium". It is 15 inches from the top mounting bolt, if that helps. I found my review here back on Nov 11, 2012 and it only says medium too. The review is...

Not going to highjack the thread totally with our wreck yesterday but our gear likely saved my wife’s life. The only thing we had skimped on was short cuff gloves for both of us. The only broken bones we have is my wrist and her wrist, forearm and fingers. It isn’t magic but my belief in its...

Take this as just my experience and opinion. I hear you saying that you are in the habit of riding in shirts and jeans, so I'm focusing on your point of making SOME improvement. It was very hard for me to make the shift to MATGMATT (most all the gear, most all the time) from lots of years riding...

Sorry for being a smart-aleck in the first response. After I posted it I worried your wife might be handicapped or something, making the sidecar the only option. If not, I'd do some serious evaluation and experimentation to make sure a sidecar would be less scary to her. If she's ridden in a...

My FJR has a back seat. Just sayin... 🙂

I went out and measured my rifle from the top mounting bolt and it is 15" so I'm sure you have an aftermarket windshield. I love the rifle on my 07 and have had it for I guess over 8 years now. I find myself riding with it all the way down 20% of the time to feel plenty of airflow, and all the...

It's hard to tell from the picture but I have one that is 2.5 inches tall from the bottom of the base. That's about a half inch extension up to the 1 inch ball. I bought it here on the forum used and have never put it on. Let me know if that is the size you're looking for and I'll send a pic.

I got the New England Butler map a couple weeks ago. It just was published in early April and I got it right as it came out. I read the reviews on here about the map options a long time ago and have bought several Mad Maps per the recommendations. I thought I'd share my findings and...

My wife likes the looks and reviews of the Olympia Airglide 5. I am skeptical of the over-under 2-stage liner that you can put over or under the jacket. Anybody tried it? We never use any of the liners in our other gear and just use layered clothing and tourmaster rain gear. But it would be...

Be sure you get some protein and take vitamins during your gear induced hunger strike.

I've used a Joe Rocket Manta tang bag on the FJR for 3 years. It's a cheap bag, but does just what I want since I don't use paper maps. I was worried about scratching the tank so I cut out cabinet liner material and my wife stitched it to the bottom of the bag. It fits like a glove and it...

I'm placing an order now for the T30GT for the front and the PR2 for the rear. I won't replace the rear yet. I almost went with the PR4 but it's $46 more at the place I will order from and I've never tried the PR2, so I figure I should at least once.

I'm with Twigg on the Nolan. I've been wearing the N90, which is the older model of the N91 for over 3 years now and there is a 90% chance I will get an N91 when I replace it. I got my wife one and she loves it, too. I would like to get the HJC modular because it has a LOT of nice features...

I had to mark my favorite still as the Pirelli's, but my current front tire is cupping badly at only 3800 miles. Back tire is still pretty good. I usually have the back wear out first and go ahead and replace the set well before 5,000 but this time it's the front. The Metzlers I used to use...

I decided against the new pants. It seems those who are happy with the Badlands seem to be of the tall variety as I'd feared. Looks like I'll have to pass on Alex's good deal on last year's model. But thanks for the advice. I'll check out the Torrent or maybe one of the Rev-It varieties that...

I am struggling with whether to find a safer pair of riding pants than my Klim Mojave for our long trips. I only got into wearing good gear in the last few years by the peer pressure of this forum and the need for some overpants when I ride to work in the cooler temps. I have to admit that I...

I've never taken mine off, except when I had to replace it because it stopped being as effective. So that may make Wheaton's advice the better choice.

I have been on Pirelli GT's for the last couple sets and like them enough they will be what I get again. The only complaint I have is that the last change I felt like I went from ok to dangerous almost instantaneously.

I've been using a Nolan N90 (flip up) for the last three years and I still like it a lot. I like HJC but just didn't like their flip up enough so went with Nolan and I think it was a good decision. My wife switched from an HJC full face on our Montana trip last summer to a Nolan N91 and she...
