[QUOTE="KitsapFJR, post: 167418, member: 3627"] Hi, Just put my first 600 miles on my 06 FJR and so far I absolutely love it! That said, there is one major, obvious complaint: 1. There is HORRIBLE buffeting at highway speeds. I am 6'5" and can't find a comfortable place for the windscreen above 55 mph. I go back and forth between full down (simply take the full air... at least it's relatively smooth) and about 80% up (mostly shielded but still can't see straight, literally). PLEASE NOTE: This is WITH a CalSci X-Tall windscreen! The stock one was completely useless at giving any calm air. At least with the CalSci I can be in calm at most speeds under 45. I'm reading on this forum about the VSteam screen... maybe I'll try that if they come out with one for the 06. Grr... Other than that, I fit the bike fine. I even have the seat at the lower setting hoping that that would help with the buffeting, and so far my knees are OK. Not sure how a long ride might feel, but will let you know. Great handling bike with tons of torque and quite comfortable other than the buffeting. [/QUOTE]
