Yes, the backrest is a pirates lair, the seat is definitely stock.

I'd love to see the pics! This sounds like the ideal setup for my needs. I see the install calls for standoffs, did you just use the pirates lair bracket in lieu of the standoffs?

Thanks! Are the plugs for the ABS in the same location on the 2013 and later models? Just under the dash cluster on the right hand side?

No luck on the stiffy, Gerauld is no longer making them. I have some diagrams but I gotta see if any of my welding friends feel up to the task. Having never purchased any type of bike luggage, who are the companies to make semi-soft luggage that are considered the gold standard?

Are you referring to Yamaha part number 1MC-F48D0-V0-00? I saw that on their website but they only list 2013-2023 years as compatible.

I just bought a 2010, it came with a Pirates Lair backrest which has its own mounting bracket. I two up with the wife, she's pretty partial to a backrest. Since the OEM mount area is gone, what are my options for a tail bag now? Do I need to make a custom shelf to bolt over the tail to the...

How does one use a jumper to do that? Id prefer not to find any dirt roads, lol

I watched the video on the brake bleed process for the linked rear, and clutch by "the told mechanic" on YT. Seems pretty stright forward and should take an hour or less. I have no found a video on the clutch bushing, is this a pivot bushing that the clutch handle rotates on or some other...

Thank you! I was smitten by the color. Very close to my first bike a Kawasaki Ninja 500R back on 2006. The damage is pretty superficial and hard to spot. The broken luggage will probably be the hardest to fix as the rear tab is broken off the box so I expect it will need replaced I don't...

Hello, Just picked up my first Yamaha, it's a 2010 FJR 1300, Liquid Silver I believe is the color. 9991 miles on the odo, added my first 300 miles riding it home. I joined to forum as the bike was priced right but needs a little love to get it back to 100% Previous owner dropped the bike...
