    Farkles from a 2008

    This Helibar will not fit a 2014 ES model unless bored out approximately .097". The fork tubes are slightly larger than an A model.

    Passenger arm rests

    The next thing just might be a Goldwing. :D Sounds like your half way there with your FJR already.

    MCN Says Yammi Told Them Don't Use Side Cases and Top Case

    The only time I have experienced any effects on handling while using the OEM top case (loaded within limits) with the saddlebags attached is while riding above triple digits. The bike simply wouldn't hold a straight line and wanted to wander all over the road. :rolleyes: This effect is...

    Saddleman Gel Channel seat

    While I haven't tried a Saddleman seat on my FJR, I did purchase a dealer demo on eBay for my GL1800. It was about as comfortable as a Corbin (not very) and the gel insert was miserable. Just like Lagerhead mentioned, unbearably hot to sit on if left in the sun for any length of time and very...

    Gen II Front & Rear Seats

    Looking to beg, borrow or steal both OEM Gen II seats to eliminate down time during my custom seat build. I'd be more than willing to buy them as well if the price is not too high. Found Got a really great deal on a Yamaha Gel seat off of a Honda GL1800 board of all places. :yahoo: Go...

    Question about trailer hitches for FJR

    AuburnFJR's info is right on the mark as it applies to trailer towing with the FJR. I failed to mention that I am using the Dauntless hitch from the group buy. Although adequate for my purpose, it lacks the quality of the Bushtec on my GL1800. Keep in mind that I believe our group buy...

    Question about trailer hitches for FJR

    I've got a total of 8,000 miles on my 08 FJR with around 4,000 miles pulling either my Wags pet trailer or Escapade. No issues: however, it does accelerate rear tire wear. My OEM Stone is down to the wear bars, but it outlasted the crappy front by 50%. Now my trailers are only pulled behind...

    Heli Group Buy Is A Go!!!

    My tripple clamp and risers came in last week and were installed shortly after. :yahoo: No need to pull the tank on mine because I didn't use security bolts to reinstall the ignition switch after the recall. :clapping: Next on my list is a comfortable tourinig seat. Thank you Catfish...

    tire gard remote pressure check

    Google "tire pressure monitors" and check out Doran as well as the Big Bike Parts/Show Chrome TIREGARD TPMS that I think kbacon is asking about. I have the Tiregard system on my FJR only because I got a deal. I prefer the SMart tire system that I have on my GL1800 because it is more accurate...

    Being cool and seen

    Mine sure got my shirt and the waist of my pants damp. They don't work well in high humidity either. This is what I prefer to use : www.coolwingrider.com

    Dealer performs hack job!

    I wanted to install the relay assembly I built (thanks to Brodie) and couldn't see tearing the bike down twice...once by me for the relay and again by the shop for the ignition switch recall. :glare: After a lengthy discussion with the gereral manager, he allowed me to install my own...

    WOW - The Feej Is Fast!

    I'm pretty new to the FJR, but did get the urge to pin the throttle once so far. I should have paid more attention to the warning about excessive speed with the bags and tail trunk attached! Yup...it certainly affects straight line stability at tripple digits. Needless to say...I won't be...

    Does Yamaha still give out the FJR Hats with new bikes??

    Not even a mention of a free hat with my 08 ! As a matter of fact, I had to ask for the bag liners.
