    Blueflame exhaust?

    Thanks for clearing that up War Machine. ;) I will probably use the money used for the Blueflames on an exhaust for the speed triple.

    Blueflame exhaust?

    I ended up having to get my credit card company to reverse the charge. I couldn't get any return calls or emails for 2 weeks and that pretty much sealed the deal for me. I understand that the guy is at the mercy of the manufacturer but that doesn't excuse not communicating the problem to the...

    Blueflame exhaust?

    Nevermind, finally heard from the guy after I got the credit card company involved.

    Blueflame exhaust?

    Does anyone know what is going on over at the US Blueflame distributor? I can not seem to get a call back or returned email in regards to my order. I have been emailing and leaving voicemail messages for about 2 weeks and haven't gotten jack back in response. I just want to check to see if...

    Decisions Decisions

    I started out on an FZ6. It is a very good bike to start on if you have self control (sounds like you do) since it isn't a slouch in the speed dept. Once you get above about 7k rpm it will open up and run, but below that it is very tame.

    Skyway's '06 FJR Frame Sliders

    Finally got the sliders installed on the bike. They look great and hopefully they will stay that way. :glare: (yes, I know the bike is still dirty from this weekend)

    Mag Knight Tank Bra

    I have one on my '06 as well. The color match looks good most of the time but at certain angles or certain lights the bra looks very purple against the paint. I gave up on trying to get it to fit right, so I cut mine into 3 pieces and trimmed it until it layed down flat. Works good now.

    Mag-knight magnetic tank bra

    I have had my color match magnetic tank bra for about 2 weeks now. First off the color matching is close but not perfect by any means. The blue they used shows too much purple but in some lights it looks pretty close. I would reccomend saving the $'s and get black (or what ever other color...

    D&H Delivery and 700 mile home report....

    Good to see that you got it home OK. We will have to go for a ride in the next few weeks.

    06 OTD Pricing FJR1300A?

    I think prices vary quite a bit but I wouldn't pay more than MSRP for one. Delivery (assuming they aren't shipping the bike to you) should be part of the sales price and set up is something that varies again. Most dealers will probably charge a set up fee and it is up to you to negotiate it...

    Part timer Yamaha salesman

    This is where I picked up my '06. Blair is who I worked with and would recommend him as well.

    Picking up at D&H May 10 - couple questions...

    Hey Jim, I have a very small tank bag you can borrow if you don't find anything you like. Here it is I might actually be too small but you are more than welcome to use it if you need it.

    Heat issue gone or what?

    I haven't noticed any excess heat. I never rode a previous model though so I can't tell you if it is all that different or if I just have a high tolerance. I would expect some heat since I am straddling a 1300 cc motor incased in plastic though. :P When summer comes around here it doesn't...

    Time to Scrub the dirt off.

    That sounds good to me. I don't personally get that detailed but I get the bug guts off and keep everything looking clean. Just use an automotive soap instead of tide or dishwashing liquid.

    FJR insurance

    You can insert Allstate for Statefarm in your statement here in Texas. Allstate is about as crooked as they come if you are the third party when it comes to claims. I am an agent as well here in Texas but not quite as tenured as yourself. I have been doing this for about 6 years or so now.

    Speedo error on the 06

    5 mph isn't too bad compared with my last FZ6. It would indicate 80 and GPS would read 73 and at an indicated 100 I would only be going 88. I am completely happy with my '06. :D
