I put some risers on that I've had since I bought this bike but really haven't needed them, the seating position is much different than my 05 but I thought I'd try them anyway.
This picture was from today's ride but without the risers on, mounted them this evening after my day long ride. The picture has nothing to do with the post but I wanted to add one anyway.
My guess is that they grill good Bluegill here, or maybe Tims Ford lake has the Bluegill since it's illegal to sell gamefish.
Today, when they call his name, my son (our youngest) will take the walk across the stage where the Dean of his College will confer to him a college degree.
Some say the American Dream is owning a house. Or stocking it with 2.4 cars, boats, or even motorcycles. Some say its when you have a successful career. For SOMBO and I, the American dream is raising two kids that are good people and know right from wrong. People with a worldly view of things. People that think of others and are educated.
Today, our American dream comes true.

Put in the left headlight bulb yesterday. Again.
Today, I will change the erls and filter, and finish the bath this FJR desperately needed.
Tomorrow, I will ride up in the hills and consider myself fortunate to live adjacent to such great riding.

You are very blessed to have children that are educated and know right from wrong. Congratulations sir!

I crossed a line today that I can't get back across. I am now Officially Old.
I installed the HeliBar Bridge on my '15.
I fought this and avoided this and pretended I did not need this... But I took off the GenMar Blocks and put the Bridge on.
I have the bars rotated to the forward most position and I did not install the brake line extender. We will see.
Not sure how this makes you old. The motorcycle triangle is imperative to being comfortable and fitting with your bike. The triangle has to be adjusted for each rider's ergonomics because we aren't all the same height with the same size torso, arms, legs, etc. That kind of adjustment has nothing to do with old but to make your bike fit you, instead of adjusting yourself to fit the bike. Good choice there.

I'm here to serve as an example of what NOT to do.
Installed a Koako throttle lock that another member sent my way. I have another brand of throttle lock that works well but can be extremely finicky with large temperature swings like the weather we have now. I'm planning on riding a lot of straight and flat coastal while the temps and humidity are still relatively low, it can be miserable during the summer there.

It would be nice to know how the Kaoko works for you. I had one on my ST1300 and liked it so well that I bought one for Dad's '07 FJR. He enjoyed it for several years.
He really enjoys his electronic Cruise Control now.
Speaking of which... I rode Pop's FJR to work today. He has mine. I have a set of tires ordered for his and have a bit of work to do. I am ashamed to admit that I have never pulled a front or rear wheel off an FJR.
Never run out of real estate, traction and ideas all at the same time.
