    Gen II Crash Bar Group Buy

    I had a voicemail today and Stephanie is shipping my new right bar. Even though I have mine installed, she wanted me to have a new one and make sure it fit with the changes. I think I like these guys... I'll definitely take any other business I can their way. ;) Now, if I could just get...

    Very rough, nearly stalls, at idle

    Well, I'll let you know how mine turns out. My 08 had these same symptoms right out of the box. I first attributed it to break-in. I figured it need to be broike-in, so I waited. It got better... but not much. It was intermittent and I KNOW how hard that can be to fix... so I ignored it and...

    Just dropped the bike off this afternoon for some unrelated issues and found out the parts for my ignition work will be in tomorrow. Glad to hear I'll have EVERYTHING done in one trip. :clapping:

    Gen II Crash Bar Group Buy

    Just... I was the first to get them and we are waiting to see how others fair. On another note: The vendor has mentioned Delrin (sp?) sliders that they are working on as an add-on option for these. I'm looking forward to that! I have not heard anything else from them since my conversation...

    Hey guys. I was able to take a few more pictures today and I thought I would post them in case anyone is still wanting more details about looks, mounting, etc. Anyway, here are a couple and a link to the gallery. Enjoy! The rest are here. And a couple more wide shots are here.

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    I dropped by my dealer for something else yesterday and the parts guy asked if I was there for the recall. They had actually mentioned my name around the shop and wondered when I would be in. I told them I knew about it over a week ago, but I wasn't in a hurry and wanted to let them get...

    Gen II Seat advice

    IMHO, a Bill Mayer could help you. When I got my seat finished, it actually raised my sitting height, but allowed my legs to reach the ground better. It's all about the cut at the front. I'm taller than you, but you could reap the same benefits. They were a breeze to work with and let me...

    Gen II Crash Bar Group Buy

    Although a spacer would fix one issue, it would cause another. I'm sure they will see what happens if you spacer the bar out: First, the weld that faces the rear actually fits BEHIND the frame. A spacer would put that weld directly on the frame and push the bar forward. Second, it would...

    Gen II Crash Bar Group Buy

    For the record... I'm impatient. I also believe I am one of the first to get the bars and, therefore, I want to know what it takes to make them fit and how best to advise the shop to adjust their manufacturing. The altimate goal is for us to have yet another great product for our FJRs and not...

    Gen II Crash Bar Group Buy

    OK, the crashbars are installed. Here is what was in the box: First, the finish is perfect. I ordered just the fronts in black and they arrived looking like they were built with much care and are good quality. I have nothing ill to say about the quality of this product. Next, the left...

    Gen II Crash Bar Group Buy

    I GOT MINE! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Now, there are some minor issues... I will explain more later. :unsure: If anyone else has received their crashbars (I got front only) please let me know. I need to know if there were any fitment issues. Mine are on (pictures coming soon) but I...

    YES Warranty

    Dean, I just wanted to make sure you knew I was not doubting what you said in the posted thread above. I called them after I confirmed D&H was still doing the $389 deal and told them I heard about their great deal on the YES warranty. Without puting the guy on the spot and telling him your...

    Japanese Tow Truck...

    This has been out for a while. VERY big in Europe as they want to keep the crowded lanes clear as quickly as possible. Nice idea. Can you imagine an ambulance version where your "gerny" unfolds from the back and you get "towed" to the hospital?

    YES Warranty

    I just sent in my payment for my YES warranty. I didn't procrastinate quite as much, so I was able to talk to them and still have plenty of time. Time being an issue on yours, here is what I know: D&D wants $389 for the 4-year extension. BTW, one side benefit is that you have breakdown...

    Hugger Install

    Richard, YOUR hugger is ghey! :dribble: Tyler, YOUR hugger is so NOT ghey! :rolleyes: Actually, I looked at doing this a long time ago and never dropped the coin on it. Looks good... too bad about the added PITA when removing the rear tire. Sure makes it look clean down there...

    Gen II Crash Bar Group Buy

    Damn if I didn't just return from several months of being gone and you guys have something else for me to buy for the FJR... :dribble: I just ordered a front set. Looks like we are over the top anyway for free shipping.
