Argh I hate the twisting of words for poor [the actual words in my head are a little stronger] reasons. And - let's get this straight. First I presume you mean the Kawasaki Concours? The Concours pre-dates the ZX-14 by decades. The ZX-14 is NOT a sport-tour bike. The original '86 Concours...

my reasoning was the same Yes - key operation / dismount is exactly the same as stock (I believe). It definitely works the same as my old Givi setup on my ZG1000 Concours Well, yes/no. The PCA rack is not drilled for the lighting kit. You will need to modify the PCA rack (ie drill necessary...

Just in case you weren't aware, and were interested - you might want to check out https://www.pashnit.com/ for a riders perspective on CA roads

Having just ridden much of that route just a few months ago https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=116524, I thought I'd throw my 2cents in. If you haven't been on Forest Rd 1, you might want to consider it. It isn't on Google Maps, but apparently is on some other online maps, is...

I've been meaning to ask about this since I got my '08 (after riding a '90 Concours for 15 years). My preference is to go as long as possible between refills (I liked my Connie 7.5 gal tank ;^) and part of why I didn't even bother to test ride the new Connie. That and I commute approx 50mi...

Argh When I bought my '08 FJR1300 in April, I found the part number ABA-2D237-40-00. My notes show it at Monday for around $300 with a MSRP of $385. IT appears MSRP has gone up 10% or more, and now there is a Gen I vs Gen II kit (and Gen II $100 more). And I dont see the '06-09 kit for $300...

A fellow forum member was selling his Givi setup, so I got everything from him (though his was on '07 so I bought the Givi V46 Gloss Black cover from another forum member - and have the nice Black Cherry '07 cover still to sell). Doing so saved me a hundred or two dollars and the items were in...

I have one (I'm using their TopBox Rack instead for my Givi) This is a version that doe not have the FJR letters etched out in the middle, and the Givi mount pieces are not included I'll try to take a picture of it - looks in great condition, probably unused (I got it with other stuff, and...

My recollection (from MANY years ago) was there there isn't much in Moccasin. The '94 COG Western National was based out of Sonora (just north). There are some quaint/historic fun towns along the Western Sierra foothills. A few years ago when I came thru that area in April, I came in through...

I got the Premier Cycle Accessories (or similar) plate to back of FJ luggage rack using OEM bolt holes, and use the associated mounting kit for the Givi. I got the TopBox Rack - https://www.premiercycleaccessories.com/Top...ack_p/11997.htm I have a spare Sport Touring Rack for Sale (first ed...

What type of riding are you looking for? are you looking for great canyon roads to scrape pegs, or more liesurely and scenic, or ?? how long of day are you and your companion up for? I did a 3,150mile 8 day lap of california back in June {posted here...

If anyone comes across the Yamaha factory setup for sale (say on eBay , Craigslist, etc), I'd appreciate your letting me know (presuming you don't want it for yourself) Thanks in advance

I have a spare of PCA's FJR Sport Touring Rack (before the FJR was cut-out in it). I already have and am using their FJR Topbox Rack.

Ride completed - 3150.5 miles in 8 days of riding (a couple of partial riding days in there) in a counter clockwise loop. Saw plenty of wild life (dear most every day, a bear crossing road right in front of me, and came came with 10->15' of cows on a number of occassions) almost all of which...

Similar for me, though mine would be In town/commuting, if traffic permits and I'm not lane-splitting (which I usually am) then I'll wave. On the hwy or the mountains, always wave (if safe). Usually get a reply wave

ditto, though a gentle hug for the time being, and prayers. I was wrapping up my Lap of California and met up with George and Matt in Morro Bay, CA yesterday when George told me (thank you George). Tyler - best wishes for the physical and mental challenges that lay ahead for you. Also praying...

Have you read https://www.motorcycle-usa.com/12/539/Motor...ng-Comparo.aspx pg 3 for the FJR, and Pg 5 for the C14 - that will cover some of what you are specifically asking about There is a large COG rally going on, so expect to wait a bit for some replies. From what I heard Jim Pavlis has...

WoooHoo - change of plans so now I can depart on Sat Jun 20 (deal with Father's day when I get back) As such, some of the long mile days will change. Here is the latest, with a floating day in there. Assumptions - Don't want to Ride Hwy 1 thru Big Sur on a Weekend (So Day 7 should be a Fri...

I'm all into capitalism, saving money, etc. Actually - Really big in capitalism and against other economic forms HOWEVER, a big part of that is the issue of how you get there (the philosophical question about whether the "ends justify the means.") Talk to those who have done business with...

I've had my 2- piece aerostitch for 10 years and put about 80k miles on my '90 Concours wearing that suit (and more miles before I go thte suit). I got wet for the very first time this winter. It was an absolute downpour, lane-splitting at night in slow, heavy traffic and had some splash from...
