    Gen 3 DRL Question

    Low-power LEDs like in indicator lights last virtually forever. For many years that's all that were available.

    The 2014 FJR1300 - Woo-hoo!

    Saw a new FJR a few years ago in the Yamaha display at the Cleveland IX center. Thanks to the mercury vapor lights at the IX center it was ugly as hell. In that light it looked sort of like brown but have no idea what the color actually was.
