    Seat options

    AirFlow (now called Windriderseatcovers) seat cover makes the OEM seat very comfortable for me and SWMBO.

    G'Day from Perth

    AirFlow is now called Windriderseatcovers. I contacted them about covers to suit the FJR, and they replied. From WindRiderSeatCovers: "Hi BIll, Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your email, we do have a size that is currently being designed and should be available in a couple of weeks."

    Noise from 3.5rpm

    Mine ('19) does something similar at around 100kph. It goes away above or below that speed. Not overly loud, but noticeable. Noise goes away with clutch in. In fact, I suspect the clutch may have something to do with it.

    G'Day from Perth

    26,500km. We (SWMBO and I) are planning to visit Canada this time next year, starting in Vancouver, and going east. I have cousins in Edmonton, I haven't seen them for over 60 years. Hopefully they still remember me .... :)

    Selling Farkles - Staintune pipes, top box, Sargent seat, VStream

    I can vouch for the Staintunes. I had them on my ZZR1200. They were excellent, as described above. However, I sold them to a Canadian, and installed a full Black Widow system on it, because SWMBO said I could. Black Widow cans on order for the FJR now. (Apologies for the hijack).

    G'Day from Perth

    Thanks, still waiting for the bike to arrive from the East. Due date now around 2nd May ..... (my wedding anniversary). Perth, 1988 - things may have changed a bit since then! We "visited" Oklahoma once, in 2009. Drove across the border from Texas (wife's uncle lived in Sherman), just to say...

    Where do you buy your oil change kit from

    Here in Oz (warmer climate), I mostly use Penrite 15W-50 Diesel engine oil, with JASO MA rating. It has added zinc, better for the valve train. I buy it in 10 liter cans.

    What you do besides motorbikes?

    Retired, but enjoy 4WD, camping, grand kids, cooking, cigars. Used to do Taekwondo, but the knees have given out. Do a bit of weights stuff.

    Thanks. Haven't been to N Carolina yet. My wife is from the San Fancisco area, btw, with siblings in Florida, Boston and Cincinatti, relatives in New Mexico and Mineapolis, and friends in Reno and LA. We haven't ridden in the USA, but done plenty of driving; done a few trips over. Likely to be...

    G'Day from Perth

    I've bought a 2019 FJR1300AE from someone in NSW, Australia. Transport will have the bike here mid April. It seems a long way off, but there is a large number of bikes being transported West to Perth. This will be my 2nd FJR - had an '02 some 20 years ago. At the time I thought it was too...
