Very in depth and succinct! I like your style.

Whatever I can wrangle from work.

Good to hear from you Cap'n! Also thrilled to see you're enjoying the 1290. Beautiful bike.

This set does exist. I have one similar and absolutely love it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/302924811918?_

You're my hero.

Have fun!!

I'm cleaning up old posts in the classifieds, did they sell?

Could you please add your location so potential buys can estimate shipping or drive time?

I swear there's a magnetism in new tires that attracts all the sharp stuff... Glad you got it handled OP!

I preferred no screen to OEM screen on '15 FJ. The CalSci tinted shorty was the best of all 3 IMO. I never tried one of their touring screens though.

Thanks for the comparison! Sounds like the '21 GT is a major upgrade. Congrats!

Ugh, really makes me miss NorCal riding. Sigh.. Oh well.

That's awfully warm Al, enjoy the ride though!

That's a great story Keith! What an experience, both the lava tubes and the Ford GT.

Also in for the opinion...

My '15 had butter smooth gear shifts. Like "was that a shift?" kind of smooth.

It's kind of unfortunate, the windscreen bracket on the FJ's doesn't support tall windscreens. There's numerous threads on this forum about windscreen brackets actually cracking.

And R7 that was a 675 triple would be stellar! I'll write a letter to Yamaha... Full disclosure, I own a Daytona 675 so I might be slightly biased.

The R3 is a twin, so the "R" designation matches. With 600cc sales in the tank, and looming CARB emissions, the "new" supersport class will be ~650 - 700cc twins. Look at the MotoAmerica twins cup, it was full of MT07's last year. This year it's a bunch of RS660's. Once this R7 is homologated into MA, they'll be a popular bike in that series. If it's being raced in a pro-series championship, then it's absolutely deserving of the R branding. I have a sneaky suspicion that if this R7 sells well, in a few years we'll see a clean sheet R7 design that's less related to the MT07 and even more aggressive.

Welcome! Love the emerald isle!

Ughhh. Sorry to hear that. I suppose 70 miles from home is a lot better than 500! Yes, you have to drop the exhaust to replace it, at least I did. Were you able to find a tow?

Silly question, are the connections to your battery good and tight?

Fantastic ride. Thank you for sharing.

I think I've been on that road too. National Forest Service road 1 or something like that? Absolutely amazing!

What isn't nicer than Ohio in the winter?? haha
