Haha! Great post. No retirement for me. Probably never. Your bike looks really good 😊

Hey! Thank you very much. I really appreciate it 😊

It does. Ordered the truck as well. It got to me in two months and it was broken. Ha! Still waiting on it too! Happy New Year!!

Ok cool. I’m exactly at 6 months. So maybe soon. Thanks!

Great question. I work in motorcycle road racing. And, I'm not an expert. But I have learned that one of the most important things on a bike is your tires. I used to not care about it that much. I can't tell anyone how many years they are good for. 4 or 5 years sounds good to me. But to throw...

Good question. I will try to find out. You wouldn't think it would affect the powder coat because it is electrically infused and oven heated into the metal. But who knows. I'll see what I can find. Just don't clean all your stuff w/ WD40!! Hahaha!

It doesn't get cold in Florida!! 😂 It is hard to go away from the FJR. I had a 2007 for 13 years. My son-in-law. The 2022 is my second. Probably my last. I'm going to "try" to baby it until I wear out my 2012 K1600 GTL. Someone gave it to me last year and I have put 21,000 on it. I think it has...

Thanks for the response! i appreciate it. When I bought mine in June they said probably Oct - Nov. It's been 6 months now. And, it has been 4 months since I got my Yamaha trunk and had to return it because it was damaged. I was able to get the mount and had it mounted on the bike before I picked...

Has any of you new 2022 FJR owners gotten your side cases yet?? I think I saw on here somewhere that at least one person did. It's been 6 months for me. I had ordered the trunk at the same time. It came 3 months ago but was damaged and had to send it back. They say I won't see the new trunk...

Here is the info I got back from my powder coater after I asked him your question about the different kinds powder coating. He is not a man of many words. "Never ever clean powder coated parts with WD-40. Your coating was a polyester (uv stable) " (He was talking about my bike that he did)...

I asked they guy who did the powder coating and who does it for a living what kind of PC he did. He did not know there was more than one kind. Do you what the other kind of PC's are?

Hey thanks for the compliment on the bike! I really like it. Yes, the calipers are clear coated as well as the wheels. Yes, you have to take the bearings out of the wheels mainly because of the oven the wheels go into. Same thing for the calipers. But w/ the calipers I had to get all new...

😂 Yes! I hear that! Let's RIDE!!

A bruise! That's it. Ha! Someone had given me the K1600 last year and I had sold my 07 FJR to my son-in-law. We got a small inheritance so my wife suggested I get the new FJR. Since I had the K1600 and owned an FJR for 13 years I looked at the Adventure Bikes. Really liked the 1250 GS and the...

Hahaha! I'm so sorry. I just realized it before you sent this. I'm a newby on this sight and for some reason this is very confusing to me in how this works. I'll eventually get it together!! 😫 Yeah I am interested to see how it lasts. It supposedly baked and magnetized right into the metal. So...

Yes, there is a clear coat on the powder coat. 👍

Wow my friend!! That looks REALLY nice. Great job. So much better than the original.

I have the hardest time trying to use this software! Ha! I'm not sure but is the 07 the only one w/ silver wheels?? Maybe the 03 or 04, whichever was the silver bike had silver wheels. I had the 07 as well. Had it for almost 14 years. LOVED IT!! I'm so glad I did what I did. :)

Just do it!! I see you are in Sonoma County. I lived in Windsor for a long time awhile ago. My mom and brother are still there. My brother is a deputy Sheriff there.

That looks awesome my man!! So good against the red. Yes, mine also has the clear coat. I guess it is part of the powder coating process. Never even thought of sanding off the numbers and letters! That is attention to detail! Nice work!
