Help! The left side case was shaken off my Gen 2, despite being properly secured. Bounced down the highway, then run over by car behind me. ISO of a replacement:2006 blue if possible, but matching color not essential. Thanks!

The LH side case on my 2006 was bucked off on a stretch of terrible highway, then destroyed by the car behind me. Ouch!! Need a replacement for an upcoming 30-day, 7500 mile trip. Can you help?

I'm very interested since my "personalized" RDL was stolen along with my bike. It would be helpful to chat on the phone for a few minutes if you'd be kind enough to call me (216-777-0708, CDT). Thanks, Bruce

It's rather a long story, but I do not have a key. The bike was stolen four months ago, the police assured me I'd never see it again if it wasn't recovered within 72 hours. In the meanwhile I sold the two panniers (which were off the bike when stolen) for $50 each (with my two keys), and then...

Thanks so much to all the respondents for a range of potentially helpful solutions. It is heartwarming to see the FJR community "rise to the occasion"!

Any advice on how to release the seat on an ‘05 without a key? Definitely don’t want to damage the RDL seat, and prefer not to do more damage than necessary to the bike and lock mechanism. Thanks for your help!

Happy to report the purchase of a 2006 (one year newer) FJR with 46,000 miles (146,000 fewer than the one stolen from me). Now I’ve got to get going on adding on that many miles once again. Oh woe is me … NOT!!

At about 150,000 miles my 2005 was no longer starting easily and shortly thereafter it would barely crank the engine. Replaced the starter motor and immediately went back to instantaneous starting at the touch of the switch. Happy bike, happy rider!

I have a 2005 right side saddlebag (left side also) with keys, but not in VG to excellent condition, thanks to a close encounter with a gravel road in northern Saskatchewan. LMK if you have lowered your standards, LOL! For sale for not much money…

Location? Extras? More photos? Why for sale?

My wonderful 2005 FJR with 192,000 happy miles (and NO major problems, ever) was just stolen off the street in Chicago. Police say I'll never see it again. Angry and sad at the same time! Looking to replace it with another, somewhat newer model for sale near Chicago. Thanks for any leads!

My 2005 Gen 1, purchased with 50,000 miles on the clock in 2014, just hit 191,000 miles yesterday — all trouble-free, glorious miles. Can’t wait to hit 200k…

It's all relative (to what you were riding previously and to your expectations). My stock --except for Helibar risers and RDL seat-- 2005 just hit 190,000 miles: 50k first owner, 140k me, and I couldn't be happier! Suspension great, engine great, comfort great, reliability great = nothing to...

I am DEFINITELY not a H-D rider, nor am I a darksider! I agree -- I am astonished at the mileage I've gotten from the Dunlop Roadsmart 3's on my 2005 FJR (now with 188,000 miles), but the odometer numbers don't lie. Here are the tire replacement intervals I have recorded for the past four sets...

Each to his or her own! I’m on my fourth set of Dunlop Roadsmart 3’s and could not be more pleased with handling, grip and especially wear. I do go all the way to the wear indicators, which for me is consistently 17,000-18,000 miles!! I ride moderately (and fast on the open roads) with 36 front...

I posted a Want to Buy notice on forum, was contacted (apparently through forum) 3 times by people who “referred” me to prospective sellers WHO TURNED OUT TO BE SCAMMERS! Be aware, be ultra-suspicious (sadly).

I'm lookin to buy a Yamaha top case for my 2005 Gen I FJR. Color not important as my trusty steed has 186,000 miles on the clock and isn't going to win any beauty contests while racking up many more miles to come. What are you asking for the top case? Color? Condition? Thanks so much for your...

Where are you (and bike) located? Mileage? Photos of complete rig? Maybe the trailer is something super-special, but $8000 sounds way high. I paid $6200 for my '05 FJR in early 2014, eight years ago. (Bought it with 50k on odometer, now at 186,000 miles -- and couldn't be happier!)

What is the price? I’m definitely interested.
