[QUOTE="biknflyfisher, post: 577448, member: 14237"] Agreed - the saddlebag issue was on the locks failing due to improper tightness, not failure of the mechanism that secures it to the bike. And, being the diligent Noob a year ago, prior to buying the FJR I was aware of the issue becuase of the great info on this site, and did the blue locktite "fix" immediately after getting Francisco home. After seeing what 140 felt like, I can't imagine what it must be like on Rossi's M1 at near 200mph! Trust me, I pushed that speed envelope one time, and one time only and lived to tell about it. That's good enough for this conservative Swede. What a machine the FJR is, in addition to outright speed & acceleration, it's smooth, quite (call it stealthy), get's great MPG if you keep your throttle hand diligent MOST of the time (I averaged 47MPG for the 1,050 miles in 3 days, including some BIG wind Monday afternoon in Nevada, and Tues coming home), reliable,,,. Did I say it's fast? Oops, been there already. biknflyfisher [/QUOTE]
