    Out the door '09's?

    I recommend NOT asking for out the door, as taxes will vary per state. I recommend asking for a little more detail (as extrememarine provided) so you can computer for yourself what your OTD price would be. Being from CA (ignoring CA emmissions issues) my OTD (or net depending on if dealer...

    Ask and ye shall receive Just came across - https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/mcy/1215557846.html Tank from a 2007 with a ding. Guy wants too much, but is bound to be negotiatble

    Gas tank

    Just curious I presume scratched/dented to make it cheaper. Are you looking for a tank to customize (make larger)? I like the 7.5gal tank on my ZG1000 Concours. Mental wanderings/musing have included wondering how much effort it would be to slightly enlarge the FJR's tank to add an extra...

    Tank Bra/ for '08 FJR

    Thanks I've got a magnetic tank bad that doesn't scratch, so it is the side protection I'm more interested in. Also, I ride year round (and in rain), so something I don't want to have to worry about is water pooling between it and the tank (and ruining the paint). I've heard positive comments...

    Givi Maxia 3 E55 problem

    Uh oh - not a RTFM type problem ;^) Though I must admit, I just got the Givi V46 and don't find closing it as intuitive/easy as my old E45/E36s (which I had for 15 years on my Concours). Hopefully time will help.

    Windshield Choices - Need Advice !!

    I just bought an '08. I'm 6' with a 32" inseam. I ride with the seat in the lower position (for now, while commuting. 2500+ mile ride coming, we'll see if I switch). I found the stock screen to be terrible. My Concours had a flip screen, and the pillion turbulence was bad. I test rode a...

    Tank side Protector for Gen II

    I'm looking for something to cover the sides primarily, so my riding suit doesn't scuff the paint the upper portion of my legs (slight scuffing already starting after 2k miles in last 2 months). I've seen Premier Accessories clear cover - which would be fine. I've also seen (but don't know...

    rain gear

    I ride with the Aerostitch Roadcrafter (2-piece, bought used from a friend). I don't worry about rain or no. I ride year-round (in SoCal) and the suit works from cold (sub 50s for us, just add an extra layer) to hot (I've been in Death Valley at 120degrees). No extra gear to carry (though I...

    Yamaha Heated Grips OEM Part Number ABA-2D237-40-00

    I'm looking for the same for my '08, though being in SoCal, I'm many months away from needing them. I'll be curious what price you end up with. Maybe a group buy item for this fall? If you find a dealer now willing to drop the price for multiple items, count me in.

    Tech Day July 12th in SoCal

    I'm in I just got a Rifle on my '08 - so if someone wants to check it out, that is fine. I got a nice little rock chip on my first ride on Angeles Crest, so it is nice and broken in already :( [down low and small so not that bad, just annoying] I just hit 9k, and suspect the factory/dealer...

    PREMIUM FUEL

    At the risk of revieling my lack of research into this issue..... For my '99 BMW 528iT, using premium saves me money as the engine adjusts timing, and for the 5-8% price premium, I get 10-15% better mileage (ie more mile/$). I confirmed this over many tanks, and other users have reported the...

    Angels Crest Decision Poll.

    I'm in, my wife may join me as well (riding pillion) if grand parents will watch one of the children... Route - I like longer (and am using this as a shake-down ride for my Lap of California ride later in June) though we do have a dinner appt back in Oceanside Sat evening (not at our house)...

    2008 FJR1300a

    When searching eBay or CycleTrader, so yourself a favor (found while I was shopping last month), search for "FJR", "FJR1300", and "'FJR1300A" seperately For CycleTrader, I set up my search terms (using each of the search terms) and then saved each as a favorite. Then I checked all 3 as some...

    Yamaha Heated Grip setup

    I have an '08 FJR1300a and I'd like to have heated grips as I ride year-round. I'm not in a rush - anytime before the end of this year would be fine. I am open to options, but want to get something that I should only have to buy once, and get a long life out of. So - does it have to be the...

    2008 FJR1300a

    That is only an okay price at best. I would say it is NOT a 'Good' deal I just paid last month $10k + taxes from a deal for a Factory Sales Rep bike with 8k miles and full 12 month warranty. There were a number of new '08s with full 12 month warranty for $11k (but I'm in CA and can't buy new...
