I've found that the best place to find out the true market value is eBay. Search on your bike: Click on "More Refinements" Click on "Show Only" Check the "Completed Listings" box. This will show auctions and "buy-it-now" sales that have ended. The items listed with price in green have...

So the seat mounting mechanism and fitment is identical on the GenIII as the GenII?

+1 on having Garauld paint it for you, unless you can find a trade. His prices are very reasonable and quality is top-notch. I had a side bag painted by him a few years back and it looks factory.

Dude! I would have gone to $80. I guess $70 wasn't me "best offer".

I'll up the ante to $70. What's the cutoff date for bidding?

+1 You can even turn your AMC Gremlin into a Porsche

I bough one of these from a fellow Aussie about a year ago. Didn't come with anything on the interior, however. I'm planing on mounting it to a rear seat pan, then glassing the interior. I also didn't get the little pad on the front of it. Did you add this?

I bought one of these "Police Boxes" from a member on the Australian FJR forum. Shipping was pretty high, but he only wanted about $75 for the box. Came to about $120 total, shipped. It's turning out to be quite a project. The sidewalls are quite thin and flexible, so I've reinforced with a...

This is a cool looking rig. I especially like how close to the ground it is. I have a HF Tag-along that I'm working on mounting torsion suspension and a swivel hitch to. It sits fairly high, though. I'm considering scraping the box that came with and building something custom that would be...

I've been able to find a couple guys on the Australian forum selling FJR "police boxes", which have a fairly large hinged lid. They also have no bottom, but I have a rear seat pan I'm planning to use to mount it to the bike and provide a base. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, based on how...

SO, mystery solved. It was jjp in a few weeks.

THa nks for the heads-up. If only it had an MP3 player.

I think I would use the washing machine (for clothes) on a gentle cycle and not the dishwasher. DO NOT use dishwasher detergent - it has a high "grit" content which is used to sort of "sandblast" the stuff off your dishes. It would likely get embedded in your tank bag nooks and crannies. You...

How about that Driver's backrest? Where did you get that thing? Looks awesome! Nevermind - just found it on the Russell website. I've been thinking about building one of these, mounted to the rear seat pan. I'm also trying to finish up an Australian "Police Box" attached to a rear seat pan...

After seeing all of these pictures of broken sub-frames ,I think I may have a top-case for sale soon. I'm amazed that Yamaha didn't do anything to address this over the years.

That is a sh--load of wood!

I agree with the "differentiation" argument. Certain bikes are much more distinctive in appearance, and some cases the sound they make, than others. Personally, I think buying a Harley is more about making a statement (buying American, unique stance, louder than hell pipes etc.). I didn't buy...

Nice - there's just not enough "Pope-jerking-off" jokes out there. At least this one seemed relatively clean, since it didn't involve underage boys.

there are probably a couple ways to move the weight distribution forward onto the frame and off the rear par of the subframe. If the under-seat roughly 1" wide mounting strap on the Givi was made more into a rectangular plate-like configuration that mounted both in the normal location and...

Don't worry about it. I've always got a few extra parts lying around after I put something back together. I've almost got enough for a second FJR now.
