I would like to get the scrapes on my cowl and bag fixed. I'd also REALLY f@$king LOVE IT if my kids would stop kicking the saddlebags when they get on and off the bike. The alternative is that they don't ride anymore, I'm not good with that, so it falls into the I'll have to tolerate it category.

Ain't that the truth. Tried squeezing around a parking gate and a big white steel bollard last week .... the right-hand hard case slid across the bollard and literally pushed the bike about three inches to the left! Got a nice paint smear now. Might have to clean it off before SFO.

Nah. It doesn't affect handling or gas mileage, so why worry about it?

Also not worth trading it in for a 2019. Boring Blue, eh?

Tecspec. The pic is a clickable link.

I have the 3M skin all over the bike including the leading edge/top of the panniers. Usually, the marks rub out with a little detailer and elbow grease. This last time, it was scuffed so hard that they will not rub out. Anyway, I know who did it, she won't be riding again this year (and this happened after I reminded them not to kick the bags)

I thought this thread would be hot as a firecracker with a heated debate over which color would best suit the 2019, which FJR is the best, and of course the obligatory pissing match between Wheatie and Uncle Hud, which we have all grown to love and expect.

But truthfully, there isn't much here. Maybe we are not really that interested. If so, I'd attribute that to satisfaction in our own motorcycles.

Maybe I'll find a way to stir some shit elsewhere....

Next time I see that bike I am going to scratch it up so bad you won't mind the girls putting a little love on it!

Quit being a douche bag and take those girls for a ride! It won't be too much longer before they won't WANT to ride on the back with you!!
