    Finally scored a 15ES - the deals are out there if you're patient

    Well I do miss the dead red 2014 but I really don't mind the stealth of the 2015. The 2014 was a cop magnet around here. I guess I bought one of the 6. Was on the floor at Romney cycles for 8 months patiently waiting for me. ES out the door for 13750.00 I have no remorse about the 2016 (yet) I...

    yeah, no disagreements from me. Highway pegs will be only for highways from now on. The clearance of the folded up pegs is fine. Glad I didn't squish. Best kind of learning experience is one in which you are just scared enough to remember your idiotic mistake without having it tattooed on your ass.

    AuburnFJR.... I was leading the ride. The pace was actually OK. I had just gotten complacent about the stupid highway pegs. I had a decision to make and I may have made the wrong one, but I have no idea how I could have leaned further with my boot heel already scraping the pavement. The harley...

    so that's what thats like

    So there it was, a decreasing radius fast downhill turn with my feet on the highway pegs attached to the crashbars. Wasn't even thinking about the pegs, just leaned into the turn more and drive the bike further into the lean. Both the peg and my boot left quite the scrape mark and I still...

    wear on the left footpeg support?

    ok, not going to worry about it.

    wear on the left footpeg support?

    Wow, I have wore the snot out of that wing that comes off the left footpeg mount. Looks like it's my heel or ankle that rubs it constantly. As far as I remember, the 09 did NOT have that wing. You 13-15 owners, do you see this wear too or it it just my big foot?

    Keyed hot wire (under seat) on 2015 1300ES-

    this exactly - run beefy hot and ground wires directly from battery to fuzeblock. Mount under seat where the tools go. Don't worry, be happy.

    Are the unpainted 1/2 of the saddlebags the same for all gen2's

    600 mile service - can I do it?

    did it myself and didn't check torque on steering bearings. Developed a clunk. Brought It to them anyway after that. Would they have checked torque? Dunno.

    2014 FJR1300A versus 2015 FJR1300 ES

    replacing rubber grips on 2007 bike with heated grips

    i use the grip puppies over the grips too. takes a bit of time to heat up, bu it's ok. I always found the grips to be kinda thin.
