[QUOTE="keithq, post: 1449279, member: 98319"] Howdy from near DFW airport in north Texas. Just flew up to STL Last Saturday to pick up my 2019 from Donelson Cycles and ride it 710 miles back to the Dallas area. What a great ride, even if a little warm. Just as I remember, this being my 3rd FJR in many years. As we age, sometimes the ability to heft around a big bike in the garage and even parking lots may seem limited. So I decided a couple of years ago to sell my 2017 and get a lighter bike. Purchased a new 2020 Yamaha Tracer 900GT. Turns out, wasn't overwhelmed with that model. Had barely even broken it in when I took a quick 250 miles circle trip out to east Texas for some BBQ and upon returning just went and posted it on Cycle Trader. Did not have the power, acceleration, coverage or protection of an FJR. Even the sound of a triple was not as pleasing as the in line 4 of an FJR. Sold it in 3 days and located my replacement at Donelson. Great dealership, BTW, in business now for 60 years. Met the whole family. So, I'm back among the FJR owners for now, and adding 'stuff' to my shopping list. [LIST=1] [*]Eastern Beaver fuse block and wiring harness [*]T-Rex lowering kit and sliders [*]Denali lights (once the fuse block is installed) [*]Heated jacket [*]GPS & Radar detector (wiring, already have the units) [/LIST] Cheers, Keith Quigley [/QUOTE]
