Hey guys I’m a new member and just picked up a 2012 Yamaha fjr1300. Decent bike with akrapovic carbon fiber slip ons, corbin hard as rock seat, lol. I have already received my helibar handlebar upgrade and I am in the process of installing it. I also ordered a set of guarld highway pegs. Any other recommendations for aftermarket parts ir upgrades?

Ride it and then decide what YOU want to improve/change. There are a lot of "Farkels" you can add but only you can know if it's needed or wanted.

Welcome from metro Seattle! Great advice already...put some (s)miles on the bike and then, figure out what's needed to make it yours.

Welcome to the forum! I also have a 2012. I agree that you should do some riding, but here are some things that I think you will want regardless.
Front fender extender will keep your bike cleaner and spray off your feet.
Replece the plastic radiator guard with a metal one. They come in aluminum and titanium and may save your radiator from debris damage.
Sliders. I got mine from T-rex. Easy to install and will save the plastics should you drop it or lay it down.
Other things to consider include a brake light modulator (Vizi-Tec) and a touring windscreen (Vstrom), depending on your height, seat height, helmet noise, etc.
Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy the bike!
