Fantastic photos - Thanks for sharing!! I grew up in Western Mass but never made it to Mt Sugarloaf. I'll be taking the FJR soon after seeing your pictures!

Chris - Your Son Jordan is a Hero of Heroes. May he rest in peace as he continues to watch over and protect his Loved Ones.

If you have the pictures already taken, I think the FAQ is a great idea to illustrate the whole process. I'm sure it will be found useful in the future.

Looks like our last posts crossed paths. :coolsmiley: Glad you got it off. I was beginning to go nuts myself wondering if I was missing something. Would have hated to see you have to damage the cover to get it off. :o What light kit are you putting on?

Are you prying the red plastic center reflector off in the direction shown here? And not just pushing on the screwdriver inside those screw holes...

No sweat, just don't steal my stick on LED light idea... Only kidding! :) Makes better use of that space than the 'document holder' - huh??

I believe there are 5 screws total inside the case's top half that you need to remove. One on each side that you apparently removed to get the side reflectors off. That one screw in the middle (that appears to hold the middle reflector/chrome Givi logo) which I take you took off already. Then...

Also do NOT slide the magnetic bag on the tank. Pull it straight up and place it straight down. Make sure it is clean, and wax the heck out of the tank (not that a rock or small piece of metal can't cut through wax, just makes me feel better about taking the chance). Although, the bag can...

I like the Crampbuster better than the rubber Throttle Boss. With the Crampbuster you can rotate it around the grip in the 'throttle off' direction to reposition it while riding if necessary. I use it more for fine throttle control on an '07 FJR, more so than for hand cramping/fatigue. Just...

CJ, I can HIGHLY recommend Performance Cycles in Shrewsbury, located right on RT 9. Bought 3 bikes from them and they've always been fair and a pleasure to deal with. Their service department has been GREAT. They will not suggest any service that is not necessary, and they seem very...

You should check out the Yamaha Warrior. Got rid of my last cruiser due to back pain with the relaxed seating position and slow steering, but missed the lower sitting cruising style ride for those shorter 2-4 hour rides or cruising around town, etc. Picked up a Warrior this week for that and...

I find the Panasonic FZ5 to be excellent for the bike! 12x optical zoom with excellent Image Stabilization and a great quality lens. The camera body is very small for a long zoom digicam. The new FZ8 would be excellent IMHO. :) I do sometimes think about a very small point and shoot like...

The p/n in this subject line in missing a "3". Correct p/n is C46R353. I myself wonder why Givi gave this color lid a description of "red", when they used the same Yamaha color name on some others. But in any case this lid is meant to be the 07 dark cherry match. I have one and it is very...

Well, just got done installing this same setup on my 07. VERY nice, very pleased with it so far!!!! (same exact silver rack plate and black adapter Steve shows here - makes for a really nice clean installation that will look good with the case off as well, not to mention the black plastic...

Permatex Thread Locker... Their Technical Data sheet states no need to adjust torque value to compensate for the use of their thread locker. Also on another site a guy who seemed to have done a lot of bolt "research" said he talked to a guy at Loctite who said they designed their product such...

If using thread locker, I'm told you need to account for that and subtract from the stated torque settings (I assume if no thread locker was originally used at the factory?), else you risk over torqing. Anyone know how much you should subtract for a ft-lb rating or an inch-lb rating? Is there...

Steve - Thanks for the excellent and very informative post!! I too like the looks of the SW-Motech rack as well as the resulting position of the V46 case - not too far back. Chip's post was helpful as well in deciding. BTW - any idea why the adapter plate you have is different from Chip's? I...
