I believe that Garmin still sells the 550 M/C mount separately. I bought one a couple of years back for a second bike so I could just swap the 550 between bikes depending on which one I was riding. Seem to recall it being $65 CDN from GPS City. However, I suppose it may have been discontinued...

SOLD I have left and right FJR sidecars for sale, they are from a 2009 FJR (Canadian) so they are black. Note that neither case come with locks - I used the locks on the new cases. Both cases were replaced by insurance so these are up for sale. The right case is in pretty good shape with...

I use the SW-Motech TechMount for my Zumo 590 ... Got it from TwistedThrottle but it's available elsewhere as well. It features a quick-release mount, but since the Zumo is hardwired into the bike, that's pointless. If I'm concerned about securing the GPS itself, I just take it off the...

I have 2 of those things, one from an '09 (black) and another from my current 2014 ES (also black) ... ian

She doesn't believe in the N + 1 rule of number of bikes one should have - thinks she should only have one. For her the Tiger 800 is the "one bike for everything". Last year her plan was to have her 09 VStrom 1000 and the FJR, same as me - I have an 08 VStrom 1000 and my 2014 FJR. She sold the...

It's heading to 16° C (or roughly 61° F) here in Calgary. There is no snow or ice left. It's only the end of February and this is very unusual weather for us here - it's usually -30° this time of year. Taking the FJR out of the garage and to work today! Ian

Hey Jeff! Gotcha, just checking the schedule and I should be there right after Louise has her FJ-09 test ride at Pro-Am. Thanks! ian

Hey! I was thinking about posting the question myself! I'm in for sure. Be happy to show off the new 2014 ES! Ian

Bit of a zombie thread, but for me anyway, the start of this thread predates the build date on my previous 2009 FJR. Now I'm riding a 2014 ES back and forth between Cochrane (home) and Calgary (work), and on various trips. Ian

I was watching this thread with great interest as my brand new '14 was almost un-rideable due to the extreme buffeting with the stock windscreen at any height and at pretty much any speed, (I'm 5'11", 32" inseam). I was optimistic though, because I had the same issue with my 2009 FJR in 2010 -...

Great looking bike! Sure looks good in that red .... Hey look at that - I'm the first to respond! ian

The side case that I'll have spare is off my old, now my wife's 2009 FJR. I'm almost certain that the cases are interchangeable across all three Gens. Perhaps others with more experience with moving cases from Gen to Gen can confirm ... At any rate, like I said the case that I'll spare is off a...

Hi Cav47, I MIGHT have a right side case in good shape for you. I just have to see if the insurance company is going to come thru for me. My left side case got crunched by an idiot cage driver and I've argued that the cases are a matched set and need to be replaced as a set. I'll let you know...

Great post Pants, made me think and made me respond in kind, as I can relate to much of your story. In 1983 I scraped up $200 and bought a work friend's 1974 Honda 400/4 SS. Put a new battery in it and my wife and I rode that thing all over. Then Louise got pregnant in 1986 with our son Robert...

That was too painful to watch all the way to the end. I cannot believe how that person managed to convince an examiner that they were competent to drive. The issue is not just one of an incredibly incompetent driver risking property damage in a parking lot and lives out on faster roads, but it...

Well, I managed to stretch the season out this year to the first weekend of November and with luck we could be back on the road in mid-March. Yeah it's tough waiting 4 or 5 months (or 6 months some years) for riding season to start again. Winter is for dreaming, researching and buying farkles...

Picked up my FJR1300ES today and brought her home - here's some pics ... Now for the farkling to begin! ian
