    FZ1 Mirrors

    FZ-1 mirrors mounted to Gen III FJR, straight bolt on. I purchased them from www.boats.net Lowest price I've seen on the web, I believe i paid about $52 for each one, shipped quickly.

    Cycle World Comparo

    Because Yamaha wants you to buy the accessory Touring windshield. And I thought the FJR was a touring bike. Long term reliability and service cost is never mentioned in these comparisons. My K1600 was anything but reliable. I don't miss it.

    ignition disabler "chip key"

    To the OP, the info is correct. I purchased a Gen 3 FJR and the dealer went to great lengths to explain how important the red key is and how it's used to program new keys. I never understood why Yamaha removes the immoblizer from US bikes??

    For 2013 Owners only...

    How about that curved piece of trim under the gas tank.. either that, or the piece above the tail section... The mini saddle bag covers are painted in the same color as the rest of the bike, i'm not sure why you'd need something bigger ?

    Canyon Cages for 2013, development input.......

    I understand what you're saying.. some things are easier said than done... If you look at the saddle bag guards on the GL1800 Goldwing, they are of a similar design but the hoop is horizontal, instead of vertical, as with the above design. Visually, the horizontal hoop is not as "heavy"...

    Canyon Cages for 2013, development input.......

    Thanks for the update... I'm not crazy about the look of the lower brace of the panniers guards... Will the finished products be produced with stainless steel tubing?

    2013 FJR Availability-Canada

    I was surprised to learn that the saddle bags are not included in the shipping crate with the bike and are shipped separately. Mine arrived a few days after the bike was delivered to the dealer.

    Canyon Cages for 2013, development input.......

    I prefer the curved corners as well. It would be very helpful if you are able to post a picture from the front of the bike to see how far the bar sticks out past the fairing. thank you. It looks like it can be installed without removing the fairing, which is a plus. If I were to make one...

    2013 FJR based on the April Motorcylist comparo(and other reviews)

    I had a GL1800 and a had a K1600.... both replaced by the '13 FJR. the K1600 had a few design flaws: drive line lash, clunky gearbox with long throws and unrefined throttle by wire... then I had a host of reliability issues with it, so I finally gave up on having an inline 6 and went for ol'...

    Mirror extenders

    I mounted the SW Motech mirror wideners on my Gen III today. (They are listed fitting Gen II). They served 2 benefits, I no longer see my elbows in the mirrors, and a great unexpected benefit is that the mirrors now sit higher and more inline with my line of vision. Very pleased, and a super...

    Do they fit without modifications? Got pics?

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I installed a SkeneDesign LED controller that flickers, acts as turn signals and alert feature to flash oncoming cars by tapping the brake twice in 1 sec, I wired it to Whelen TIR3 LEDs... The bike's stock turn signals are invisible by comparison.. the Whelen units are super bright:
