Got a pic...and a quick description of how involved or easy it is?? ... __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page!...
The install is dead easy, unbolt the old mirrors and these drop right in place. There is a comparison picture on one of the FJR sites, that's where I got the...

Just come of the Pan ST1300 site, reading about an apparently official letter from Yamaha themselves, (back in 2002) that says "EITHER use a top box OR side...
I have put on 33,000 kms on my 03 with most of them with top box and side bags on, no problems and travelling at speeds of 140-160 kph. Yamaha puts those...
Hi Nick, I have ridden with the top box and side boxes plus 450 pounds of driver/passenger weight. The FJR handled OK; just drive less `sporty' and you will do...
I have had some handling concerns about my FJR when loaded with side bags and a GIVI box. The bike is relatively unstable in wind or passing truck turbulence...
Let's see. How can I say this discretely. My '05 FJR has been known to do approximately 120 mph on straight, Wyoming roads where one could see to the horizon....
I'm not even going to try and put this discreetly :-).... On my cross USA adventure this summer I just had to test out the top speed on my new FJR. I did ~145...
I have seen that warning too, but I don't have a top box. I bought a 42L cordura bag (at my local Rider Gear) that straps around the passenger seat, and that...

That is the one thing that has always concerned me about owning an FJR, speeding. So easy to do and so much fun, but that LEO lurking around keeps me from...
I went half way across the USA this summer with me at 230lbs, the girlfriend at 170lbs and all 3 boxes with no trouble at all whatsover. I did 124mph (GPS...
Update on the Pan ST1300 situation here in the UK .... It seems the Police here have taken off the road all their ST1300s. Honda are doing some mods around the...
yeah... the only whine should be the sound of the gearbox winding up when you peg the tachometer! There are 2 messages in this issue. Topics in this digest: 1....
It's just a "release valve" for cabin fever begining to set in. Still... I wouldn't be able to ride it with all the white stuff out there. As long as I get it...
We put up with 26 tropical storms/hurricanes this year, but now is Florida's time to shine! In fact, I'm manager of the 'motocycle safety crew', escorting...
Sounds like a "hop-along" kind of event to me. Wish I could make it down there again. Rode to Key West back in February, but found the traffic and traffic...
I hope this doesn't start another string of e-mail that you've all seen before. But, here goes. . Just purchased my 05 FJR. When the OEM tires go by the...
Metzler ME 880 will most likely be the longest lasting tire. You will have to go down one size on the rear to 170/60-VR-17. Just make sure they are radial as...

Hey Nelson, good luck trying to get high mileage out of tyres on the FJR. I am looking to do the opposite and get better grip and feel from my tyres. Here in...
My Avon ST 45 and 46 only lasted 7600 miles to the wear bars on the rear and 11000 on the front. I was very disappointed in the Avons regarding wear, as I...
Like most tires, a large part of the wear one get depends on how one rides. On the FJR, twisting that right side on the handlebars causes dramatically less...
Thanks for the response. Now, one more question. . How would you characterize your riding style. Fast and furious? As opposed to slow and tortoise like. I lean...
I'm sorry to hear that. It seems that I'm going to find in nearly impossible to find a tire that will last 20,000 miles. I can't hardly imagine that. As I...
