    Instrument Panel Custom Overlay Installation

    I did not install them my self. I had what I consider an ace cycle tech do it. This was his first FJR he has done. And I supplied him with the excellent information given on this forum. From removing the panels ect to opening the gauges. I did not have information and could not give him...

    Instrument Panel Custom Overlay Installation

    New overlays installed.. Also installed Blue LED's. I really like the way they came out. Call it anal but it always bugged me a little looking at the stock overlays with those funny little warts that develop around the screws, I looked at quit a few FJR'S and found that mine was by far not the...

    Instrument cluster gauge issue in Gen1

    I believe the instructions also were having to do with installing led lights in the instrument panel. I am also in search for those instructions having to do with the right method of removing the instrument panel then opening it up to get to the lights and overlays .

    2013 FJR - Product announced!

    After I puchased my 05 I was told the 06 would have all these new changes and upgrades. All I saw was the same thing which I love, with minor changes leaning toward more touring than sport. The 13 seems to follow further in that direction. I personely would classify the Gen 1's as a Sport...

    will my 2003 get that hot?

    I never understood the heat issue B.S. on Gen 1s. My 05 feels no different than any other inline 4 high performance rice burner I have owned. Take it for a ride and check it out. My FJR is the funnest ride I have owned.

    Windshields

    I have a CEE BAILEY 2+. Night and day over the original. Size matters. Be sure to get the right size windshield for you if you order an after market one. I am still amazed with all that research and development that went into such a great bike, that aftermarket windshields work much better.

    Two Brothers Exhaust

    All is good with my new Two Bothers. Installed very easy,sound much better then stock, look great! I have not installed the PX-1 yet. I am sure I will for long trips. Get them its worth it. I will even go so far to say without proof that the motor breaths better.
