Hi guy/girls...brief intro.. I had a 2k1 naked naked Bandt I wrecked a couple of weeks ago..while I wait for parts to fix her I bought an 05 FJR with 1200 miles on the clock.
I got a very good deal, and it was pre-farkled. Factory heated grips, stacked Heli Barriisers (2 of em?) (those came right off , as my arms were too far back ..heh) Tmeister Heavies, and a factory topcase. The stealership only knew about the factory case, and said everything else was stock .. Who am I to mention the other stuff??
Oh well on with the question..and yes I did search first!
I am a big guy 6'3" ..I assume I have the factory windscreen as it still says Yamaha on it. When I put it in the highest position, it is 'almost' perfect.. ie..no buffeting..I have to crouch down a little bit and it gets quiet. Without the crouch it is pretty loud. I am looking for a very very quiet riding experience in the up position. I have an autocom and mp3/gps/pda, escort 8500, GMRS setup that I like to use, but the problem has been the use of earplugs. I'd love to not have to use them!
so....what is the tallest windscreen I can buy? CB 4+3? cal-sci? the Vstream? or do I need some combo with a laminar lip?
I have already ordered the FZ1 mirrors, and looking at a spring upgrade, as well as a penske rear (I have a Penske guy).
