sounds like Sparky's got a stand-up dealership. That'll be a big relief. :)

I'm going with the "gopher" theory here. :dribble: It use to be that bikes had to be uncratered (sometimes that was a major hassle) and you never knew when you'd find cracked fairings or bent billet, and then assembled ($$). But my understanding (not 100% sure on this ) is that these...

Hmmm It's a nice concern. But I bet those aluminum screws would sheer almost as easily as the plastic ones if someone was going through the shield. Then again, it would be nice to just bounce off of the shield and back into your seat... :rolleyes:

hi twowheelnut, I was looking at some sports touring websites, not quite sure... will you share where you got yours and was it specifically made for the FJR or did you have to farkle with it? :D thanks

When I got my blue tint CeeBailey a little over a year ago, I went out and bought a set of the little aluminum screws that come in diff colors, so I got blue ones for about $8. Had more than I needed, but they were cheap enough. I prefer the allen head + the metal construction. Vinnie

Is anyone using a tank bra? I'm talking about the type that covers the whole rear part of the tank (closest to the rider). I'd like to know: 1. does it help with the heat problem on the inner thigh? and, if so, 2. where did you get one to fit the FJR? I recently went on a two-up ride and...

A question for those in the know: :unsure: wow! I wonder where the Japanese are getting those FJR's from? I thought the only thing that Yamama sold over there was the XJR1300 (for something like over a million yen!) which is a naked version of our cutie... Could they be importing those...

How far are you gonna be willing to travel for one of these mythical fjrs? https://www.abernathyonline.com/ Sorry... :dribble: https://www.abernathycycles.com/

My 2 cents: :) I would probably pay it if it was the OTD price The dealer where I bought my '05 will sell an '06 for 12.3 + $550 for dealer prep. Once you add the TT&T you're looking at 13.5, so it sounds like a good deal. 'sides, it's an FJR! :rolleyes:

What an interesting concept: You have to worry about your wife when she's on the bike. I know most wives worry when we're off riding. I know whenever I ride to work, I can expect a call soon after I get there from the wife. Just saying hi! <_< So having the shoe on the other foot is...

what's the old saw?: "those who've dropped them and those who's gonna..." I always thought the first few steps in the procedure after you've dropped it was to cringe while muttering different incantations (oh s**t!, Jeezes K. Rist!, holy f**k!, gahddamn it, etc) and shedding a tear. Take a...

Hey Iggy, did you go to school at Loyola? would somebody please put a Mexican sombrero on this little guy :yahoo: so I can use it for Cinco de Mayo B)

somebody help the radman -chill pill, please! and where do I get the training wheels for the FJR, I didn't know you could get those! :P

Whoa Fred, is that all?! You really date yourself with that Uri Geller comment. Another Boomer! I remember getting flamed mercilessly when I got my '05 and dared to say that it needed a better windshield (CeeBailey fixed that) and comlained that my hands would never be able to take the hard...

Finally got the clocks replaced. My gauges would not sweep on ocassion. Were checked by the techs for loose connections a couple of times. They usually worked after the bike heated up and got running. Sometimes they would just come on in the middle of a ride, sometimes after turning bike...

GAPs proves again the old cliche about where beauty lies... Nostalgia is sweet, but this is a modern bike with just a hint of nostalgia. At 20 grand, I'll take the HRC (Honda Research & Co) engine in that nice tubular frame... :P

Sales: I have bought two bikes from these folks. My '05 FJR was on the showroom floor when I found it. The sales manager sold it to me for MSRP + (12, 680OTD), but he gave me so much money in trade in for my 2 year old Trophy 1200 (with 28K miles on it) that the bike wound up costing me...

Maybe Kenny can take some consolation from the folks who have been trying to resurrect the Vincent for several years and getting nowhere, so far. Barney Li has a lot of money, too -or had, and I'm still waiting... :(

...has the kit and needs the drill. Taking the fairing off was a bit of a pain for me. did the rearset kit that requires lifting the tank. Took me and a friend about an hour to figure it all out and git'er done. (We were smart enough to save the brewskies for after we were finished.) for...

could I join this sick bunch?! ;)
