Thanks for the post & pix. I'd like to get over there sometime, but it'll be years the way things are going... Congrats !

Summer - Yahama tall Fall - VStream Winter - Rifle +5 +3 Spring - Cal Sci Tall Have I missed anything ? Oh yeah, maybe I need to get a Cee Bailey so I can have one of everything... I might just keep the VStream & sell the Rifle & CalSci because I don't think I really need 4 screens...

Thanks for the article & pix. I would've had an inclination to re-use if there was no visible damage, but not anymore !

Valves need no service for 24-26k miles. Oil... well that's a real popular subject, many opinions, I use Shell 10-40 synthetic, good & cheap too. For other items see the Bin 'O Facts & the other FAQ info, in the FAQ folders...

I did a C46, did the Givi factory mount accessory also. I had it powdercoated black, with the matching blue trim for my '05, looks pretty good. Givi is a tube frame, which is kinda nice for me because it gives me extra bungee mounting points for the camping gear & whatever else I feel like...

Congratulations ! You dodged a few bullets with that one, I'm sure the bill would've been, shall we say, substantial... Now go fill up that tank !

IIRC, the Gen II has an adjustable vent in the fairing (I just remember someone mentioning this, I don't actually know because I have a Gen I), maybe the vent was not in the correct position ?

Happy birthday Rad & hope you have many many more !

Well ? ((tap tap tap)) Oh Greg !?! (tap tap tap).... (must be cleaning out the tank)

Yup, MCN all the way. (or is that a Gunny2 ?)

6'3" ex Royal Star owner - love the FJR, never go back to a cruiser... Be prepared to not like the seat for long rides... You'll be windshield shopping too because you'll get turbulence when up (but super quiet when down...). I still love mine after 2 years & 25k miles. Good luck!

They use the original so you're out a seat for as long as it takes them to get the job done. I had mine done in December... I did leather, half moon. WC likes the corrugated finish, I prefer smooth so's I can slide buns when cornering. Happy with leather, way happy with the Russell. I did 2...

Congrats ! Your list looks pretty complete, putting on a few thou will tell you if seat work is required. It'll be nice riding a paid for bike, won't it ! Enjoy !!

Welcome & best of luck on the ride. You gonna do slab (70/80) or secondary roads or a mixture ? Just curious. By the time you get home, you should know if you like the seat (LOL). You could always find an AirHawk on the way I guess. Watch out for critters if you ride at night !

/Rant start Since they didn't ask me why I didn't buy one Initial purchase price $$$$$$ Cost of dealer maintenance $$$$$ An ever shrinking number of dealers Crappy dealer attitude (witnessed multiple locations) Won't stand behind a faulty product, leave customer to pay the bills (read...

Great color ! Wish Yamaha had enough balls to sell something like that. It looks like a ticket attractor color though. Ah, geez, I still like it !

My local dealer charged me about that, but it was for the 26k mile valve service, tire change, TB recall, wishbone shaft lube, rear oil change, oil change, plug change, adjust throttle, adjust brakes, & lots more that I can't recall right now. I had a long list for him. Seems your dealer has...

Thanks JB

I thought it was the 'hidden' electric six pack cooler...

Have at it cubbie ! 'Bout time we get some ink out there outside of this forum !
