Depending on the severity of the damage it may be cheaper to repaint. If you did like I did and started ripping mounts off, then it's time to replace. FYI/FWIW: the ordering process for saddlebags through Yamaha is not typical and may require a little extra effort by whoever orders them (if...

They had a left 05 bag, but they couldn't find it; came from an insurance job. Mentioned something about how much the original cost... Never got back to me. Doesn't matter, I went ahead and ordered a replacement. I'll have matching bags, even if the right one is scuffed up a bit. I've also got...

Great! I'll see if I can give them a call today. That's the last thing on my "to-get" list for the big dollar items. Thanks for the heads up. If it works out, I'll drop a line here.

Okay, I have a set of headers on the way. All I need now is a saddlebag. You guys have been great, though I may have to order through Yamaha if I can't get the back "fairly" soon. (Read next month or so). Thanks for all your help!

LOL. Just like we moved into a multimillion dollar facility and we have stupid network crashes that force us to do all our transactions by hand. DOH! Sounds like your injectors are being told to throw the same amount of fuel as before (though the new one may be cleaner?)... How do the spark...

I bought my '03 October of 2002 from a local dealer that ordered extras on his own. The fact that they were very difficult to obtain without pre-order (I couldn't since I was moving at the time) meant you had to trust that it was a great bike. Four plus years later there's still no question...

The ol' gal and I would have gone through the skunk if it had been on the road. She like to play tag with the animals for some reason...

Thrashed and trashed the bags August 2004. Haven't finished replacing them yet, so it's been soft luggage for three years... <_< They're only really needed for the longer commutes (say for a week-long getaway to Florida, or something). Helps when you've got a place to lock stuff. The...

I would like to publically thank Huckstr for the OEM mufflers. They are just right! Now for the rest of my projects...

I know that when my mechanic "leveled" the CO settings on the computer on my '03, he reported that three of the cylinders were set extremely lean and the third was very rich. He averaged the lot and behold the bike ran crisper and smoother! In my time lurking, I don't recall if Frank ever had a...

Ha ha! I'm thinking of painting my FJR... but that stuff would be almost pointless down low on the '03! (Except when the bike's been sitting.)

I need to replace the entire saddlebag on the left hand side of my '03 FJR. Anybody have an extra one laying about?

I've been using an older version of the Cortech Tribag. You can buy strap mounts for cheap if you wish. I can verify that the safety strap works, even with a pretty good sized load. (I keep an SLR camera in the big base bag). Only problem I every really have is hitting the horn when the steering...

I've worn Arai, HJC and the EXO-700. I thought the EXO was great until it got trashed in a non-riding "accident." When I had to replace it, I tried the HJC AC-12 and couldn't believe how much lighter - and just as great a feel it had. My $0.02

I have an old Rifle sitting in my garage that I'd love to get rid of. Used it for a while on my '03.

PM sent re: Rifle ws.

Wanted To Buy: 1) a left saddlebag from an 03-05 FJR. Doesn't have to have a perfect lid, but the base needs to be solid. I prefer the '03 and '05 (liquid silver / blue) models, but will consider an '04 for the right price. Still looking for a saddlebag. May end up having to go to a...

Sounds like the right way to for-sure tune the bike well. Match the injectors, Test the CO from each cylinder... smooth and powerful. And it doesn't take much to get things out of balance, either!

Per the previous comments and my previous posted picture, the frame slider absorbed energy by bending the bolt instead of transferring it to the frame. It did leave a dug out trail through the culpable gravel which initiated the lowside (of probably 20 - 30 feet) and did not catch on anything...

Brilliant! Seriously!
