[QUOTE="ronjrieth, post: 90136, member: 1092"] Tahoebound, The 06 is better...but not as good as the Sargent on my '05. My 06 FJR is at Sargent right now....they are using it to engineer their seat for the 06. I got a pretty good "butt burn" after 250 miles on the '06 stock seat...but that was better than the stock 05.... Better support with the Sargent Seat. As far as windshields go, the 06 is no bargain even though the adjustment is better. On my 05 I had two that were great....for long rides and max protection....a Cee Bailey +4 +2 and for hot weather riding you can't beat the Cal-Sci windshield with vents in it...eliminates the buffeting...the 06 still has a degree of buffeting...cant wait for the first aftermarket windshield on the 06! The new instrumentation is nice...but jeezus they could have put a voltmeter on it. Now the buzz....still there...my first farkle was heavy bar ends from my old bike. I am waiting for a set of BMW grips to put on it and I am searching like hell for an electronic cruise control that will work....if none available I am going to use a Brakeaway Throttle Control (which I used on my 05) which is pricey (200) but a Quality piece....it is a mechanical control but releases when you hit the handbrake. Ride Safe, Ron [/QUOTE]
