    Suggestions for a response to Yamaha

    I wish I were but I'm more of a realist. There's really nothing you can do about the part and I'm sure they'll keep their word and get the part to you when they can. As for looking for compensation of some sort, I just see it being more work and grief than it's worth in the long run. I'm in...

    Factory heated grip questions

    AC, I had factory heated grips put on my 07A at the dealership. You can turn the stock dial to regulate the heat and seem just fine for me in SW Wisconsin. The dealership installed them at a part of the deal to purchase the FJR. I also have the G2 and Throttlemeister installed and all work...

    Seat lock installation...trick?

    Joe, Glad it worked out for you. I had to give it a nights rest also. What's nice about trimming the lock cover is that after you get one bolt started, you can just pivot the cover right over the second hole. I don't think you can do that with the stock powerlet cover w/o modification. Glad...

    I ended up nipping the pointy corners off of the powerlet cover plate first of all. Made it easier to put into place. As for as alignment. I insersted a tiny screw driver into the hole and into one of the lock bolt holes. I coaxed it relatively close and was able to hold that in place while...

    Russell Day-Long Touring Seat

    I'm sending an Email to Heather tonight. My seat is supposed to be done on Nov. 8th. Maybe she'll include me in the deal and that will also help out for the rest of you for the larger discount.

    HELP!! What tool to remove seat lock?

    HELLO, Need the wisdom of the list and hope I'll get the answer I need here. :huh: Am installing the new Powerlet dual rearset outlet that secures as a shroud around the seat lock. The seat lock is secured by two bolts with strange heads on them. They look like a allen head with a small...

    Dropped my FJR, DOH!!!

    Rick, Thanks for the tips. Before I received your message. I think I know what I did now. Think I reached back with my foot and thought I had deployed the sidestand to the down position. What I actually did was got my foot on the tang to deploy the centerstand and pushed it down to the...

    I finally did something that made my wife happy :)

    I think Gary will just take the orders as they come in.. Heck, I'd even pay right away if I thought it would help. I need to work on patience. He's gotta be super busy with all of the requests. Relieved to know that I'll get a quality product at a reasonable price.

    I finally did something that made my wife happy :)

    I ordered the standard rack, a passenger backrest AND having him paint my Fastbag all in Black Cherry too.... Wish they made clones of Gary that could make them as well as he does. Hope mine comes by Christmas but I think I'm pretty far down on the list and will come after that.
