Thought I would bump this thread up for HelzBelz. I received the Alter Ego pants from him and they are in Brand New Condition, I couldn't find a mark on them. He also took the time from his vacation to ship them while in Canada to save me some 30 or 40 dollars in shipping costs. Take a...

Gary, Enjoying your story more than I can express. I find myself checking for updates to it every few hours. You have a God -given talent to 'spin a yarn' as they say. I actually met you in June 2011 somewhere in the Virginias, you were heading north I think and were stopped at a lookout. I...

Interested in the Alter Ego's. PM sent Rick

SOLD, Will ship tomorrow. Thanks Rick

I find Canadian rates are all over the map. On Prince Edward Island For my FJR and for my previous bike a Yamaha Venture (1200cc) I pay less than $200 for liability and if I choose full coverage (Collision, fire and theft and liability) it would be in the $600.00 range. However different...

I'm trying to load pictures from Photobucket but get this message "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." I tried resizing smaller with same result. Anyway about the links, I don't think these are Soupy's because the turnbuckle portion is round with a hex section...

My 2006 came with these links since the PO was female. I put the stockers back on and don't need them. They are steel 'turnbuckle' style including bolts. I didn't measure the drop but think it was a couple of inches. I'm asking $60.00 including shipping in North America. If anyone is...

Looks like I am the proud new owner of a Corbin seat. Picked it up tonight and just tried it on the bike. Looks great, Now I just need to wait 3 months for winter to pass before getting it out on the road. Thanks Don.

Just thought I'd get in line for this in case it doesn't work out with PAle Rider.   Thanks   Rick

I got a used 2006 a couple of months ago and the dealer was able to check on recalls for me. Mine still needed the additional ground harness recall. They were not able to do the ECU replacement as it is optional if you actually experience the altitude issue. I called Yamaha Canada and they...

Checked with dealer yesterday and the grounding kit and new ECU were in, I asked if it was OK for me to put them on the bike and they said yes. Put the additional ground harness on, My existing harness didn;t show any damage. The new sub harness connects between the ground connector below the...

Congrads Linc, I just got an 06 in April and can't stop grinning. Put about 1300 miles on it so far and it is awesome. Have fun! ERS

Barry, I just installed a set from redlunarracing found on ebay for $60. They fit perfect and lots of good info on this site to install them. They are 1" and made a big difference in my wrists. Hope this helps Rick...

Recently picked up a 2006 FJR and it had adjustable lowering links and the Riders seat has most of the foam removed. I put the original links back on and have been trying to refoam the seat but my upholstery skills are lacking. I would like to trade the adjustable links for an original seat...

I need a seat as the previous owner of my 2006 removed all the foam to reduce the seat height. I can give you $100 for it. My address is Richard Smith 1131 Wiltshire Road Hampshire PE, Canada C0A 1Y0 Let me know if this works out. Thanks Rick

Interesting that the dealers we trust these machines with can be so shoddy. The dealer doing my recalls is under new ownership, They also have a shop in another city here and have a relatively good rep. My bike will probably get in next week when the new ECU arrives. Thanks for the replies. I...

The trunk recall and ignition have been done. I actually bought the bike from your area. It came from Hoyt NB and was owned by a female who took good care of it. She had records of every service and recall. She had lowered the bike with adjustable lowering links but had the factory links which I...

Just bought a 2006 FJR1300A with factory trunk with 30,000km. It is scheduled for the ground spider recall and I also convinced Yamaha to do the ECU upgrade. Apparently they will add a sub-lead to the wiring harness. The dealer admits to not having much experience with FJR's as the majority of...
