The bags were on the bike when I rode home from the dealership last month, at which point they promptly came off and haven't gone back on I commute to work in SoCal traffic (meaning I'm lane-splitting anywhere from a few miles to 10-15 miles each way each day) - so the narrower I am the better...

I noticed the stock windshield on my '08 (picked up last month) also shakes a lot more than the fixed Rifle I had on my '90 Concours. And I'm ordering a Rifle for the FJR this week. So I'm interested in this as well. I don't recall the BMW adjustable windscreens ('08 R1200RT and K1200GT)...

I commute to work daily year-round (the benefit of living in SoCal though we have housing prices and other costs/taxes to go with the benefit ;) ) and I've been doing this for the better part of the last 15+ years. My commute for the last 4 years has been 25-30 miles each way. During much...

I just got my Gen II Service Manual this week ($30 eBay). I've seen a few on eBay and Craigslist for that price The Good news - Manual is in good condition and is huge (compared to my Concours/ZG1000 Service Manual which was about 1/3 to 1/4 the thickness). Bad news - seller indicated the...

My '08 is black, and I ride north county along the 5. My co-worker Sean has a blue '06, but he usually drives the I-5 from PB to Sorrento Valley.... I'll check.

I can't compare, but thought I'd offer my experience after after over 11 years and 55k+ miles I've had my 2 piece RoadCrafter for the last 11 years on my Concours , and this winter was the very first time I had the crotch leak issue (and I haven't re-applied rain proofing - ever! I've ridden...

I'm looking for a Gloss Black Givi v46 cover for my '08 If you have a spare, unused, etc?? cover, please let me know. Sell me your Gloss Black Givi V46 cover or exchange for a custom painted one ?? If someone has a '07 and a Givi V46 (or is thinking of one and wants to color match), here's...

I'm looking for https://www.rifle.com/stores/showdetl.cfm?&...Product_ID=2349 as I had such good success with Rifle over 15 years on my Concours. Either that - or point to where I can get a discoutn/group buy/whatever - save some money for other farkles!

Anytime I've been downtown to any of the hotels (Hyatt, Marriott, etc) I have not paid to park my motorcycle. The only place was at the convention center 'cuz there was a person standing at the gate to make sure they collected. The Marriott next door (1st bld to the south of the Hyatt) has...

I must agree. Photos from the top of the mesa on Hwy 12 are 1st 2 pictures here https://www.concours.org/scrapbook/ That ride was 13 years ago and that stretch of road still remembered fondly. The section of road on the top of the mesa as it ends, with no guardrail on either side and really...

jocko87 sorry - missed your reply. PM sent

Does someone have a spare set they want to get rids of? I see lots of reasonably priced sliders on eBay - but I'll be honest - there wasn't a way to attach these on my previous bike, a '90 Concours, so I'm a bit ignorant about what to look for / avoid. I read a few posts about type of material...

I was looking to replace my '90 Concours (110k miles) and was seriously considering the K1200GT (would have gone nicely with my 528iT). I had even made a few offers. Then some fellow COG members warned me away (things like ESA replacement at $3k required every 30-50k miles, failed final drive...

Actually, the original post was So I provided info on what I knew to be changes in model year. It was helpfult to provide the additional info on the AE. My point would be that you can get an older model A or AE for the same price. Don't get an AE just becuase its cheaper (it isn't - though...

Per Yamaha - For 2008, the FJR1300A gets a new ABS system, new scratch-resistant hard windshield coating, a new windshield bracket design and new grips. For '09, reduce clutch lever effort (different spring) + I've read on this forum a few color changes (read a few extra items color black) So...

I put progressive fork springs in my '90 Concours (15 years ago along with a fork brace) and it made a huge difference. I just bought an '08 FJR1300a on Friday and it's time for accessories/upgrades. Consider me tentative. I'll check around to see what the consensus is on what sort of impact...

Part of the question is whether you will do a bunch of riding from one place, or be spending the night in a different place each night. And please do post when (my thread on a Lap of CA). On my Concours, whether 1 or 2 up, I've typically ridden overnight trips with all bags (Givi side and...

I have an older tail (E45N) and side bag (E36N) set for my '90 Concours - will probably sell whole matching setup. I'm looking for the rear mounting plate and trunk for my new (to me) '08 FJR I'm partial to Givi (but didn't pay retail 15 years ago either). I'd like to be able to put 2 full...
