    Any recommendations for a non-slip mesh seat cover?

    From pic, looks like I have a similar LAAM seat. Is that the CF look material? Take a look at black mesh rubber shelf liner. Seriously. Pillion uses it to stop sliding around. Not the most attractive, but works. Cut to size, tuck in front and back to hold in place. Good luck! ~G

    Top Case Wind Buffeting

    On my '15 I have a Givi set-up, SR357 mount with V47 topcase. Local rides I just use the top case. Maybe it's bike set-up, but I've never had a wobble up to 100 ish. However, I did experience the wobble once at 120+ (on a closed course!) fully loaded with bags and top case. Wasn't severe but...

    Rear Rack Carrier/ Top Case Mount for 2020 FJR1300

    Confirming a Givi SR357 will fit your '20 and support various Givi Monokey cases. On my '15 I have a SR357 with a V47 top case. For OE, as Skoot says, the aluminum replacement is the rack to get but might be a tough find now. Happy hunting! ~G

    Gauge cluster/windshield not center

    The subframe (should have said front stay!) I'm referring to supports the mirrors, front fairing and headlight assembly. If bike was dropped it could have moved to one side and not cause any ride quality issues. Only sure way to tell is remove some plastic and see what you find. See front stay...

    Difficulty starting with a warm engine

    Thanks for the clarification. I read it as (normal) hot start on bike, not the bike overheating and needing to stop to cool off. As mentioned, starter and/or battery is where to begin troubleshooting. On high mileage or older FJRs, there have been instances where seals weep and engine oil will...

    Gauge cluster/windshield not center

    Inspection would be your first course of action. Are you sure the bike hasn't been dropped? Gen I front subframes are steel and will bend (rather than break) if the bike has been dropped hard. Give the front end a good once over, paying special attention to the mounting points and tabs that...
