    WTB Left Side Saddlebag

    The title basically says it all. I am looking for a left side Gen II saddlebag in good condition. I prefer blue, but might consider other colors if the price is right.

    What would you do?

    Thanks for the thoughts everybody. I was kind of leaning towards the bargain route and this has pretty well sealed the deal for me.

    What would you do?

    Yeah, her insurance is not putting up any kind of fight, I expect the check this week.

    What would you do?

    Long story short -- I have an 06 FJR with ~43k on it, while sitting at a stop sign ~5 weeks ago I was rear-ended by a lady assuming I had already left and merged into traffic. I luckily did not go down and I was not hurt badly (shoulder injury that I am almost over) but I have been so busy I am...

    I fought the law

    I am sure it's different everywhere, but at least some judges seem skeptical of these types of tickets. Where I grew up it was called exhibition of acceleration and I will never forget sitting in traffic court one night, watching a kid in front of the judge on that charge. Judge: "One thing I...

    Ride-On Tire Sealant and Balancer

    If your main concern is the balancing aspect of it then just get some Dynabeads. They work great and don't leave a slimy mess.

    Opinions on the 2008 I'm considering (and how much I should offer for it)?

    "Test" riders

    When I sold my last bikes I had two modes - if you rolled in on a bike and were serious I would let you test ride. If you didn't have a bike but were serious, with an endorsement and gear, we would go up to the nearby school parking lot and you could shift it through a couple gears and see that...

    Opinions on the 2008 I'm considering (and how much I should offer for it)?

    If your in a hurry maybe try and get $8500 and they throw in your first valve check/adjustment? If your not in a hurry you can probably find a better deal later on.

    Opinions on the 2008 I'm considering (and how much I should offer for it)?

    Around here when I was shopping a well equipped 2007/08 was going at or under $8500 in the neighborhood of 5k miles. Your looking at a basically stock bike (no major money adders like a seat, new triple tree, trunk, etc...), but no clue what the market is like there. You can't really argue...

    good, bad, and ugly

    I was in the same boat as you a couple months ago and can say I LOVE my FJR. I was really wanting to get a C14 since I am a total tech dork and liked all the bells and whistles, but the number of people selling off their Gen I bikes for a 2010/2011 due to the heat and other issues just pushed...

    FJR Carbon Fiber Hydroprinting

    Solorogue, how thin is the activator? Since I am only looking at doing smaller parts to start I am hoping that I can do this with my airbrush and a large tip/needle and get better results than a rattle can.

    FJR Carbon Fiber Hydroprinting

    Very cool - I might have to give it a shot as well!

    Useful opinions wanted on purchase decision

    If your looking at an 08/09 one thing to notice is how many Kawi owners are selling them to get a 2010/11. That was what pushed me towards the FJR, if someone is willing to take a multi-thousand dollar hit in depreciation to get the 2010 upgrades then there must have been some pretty big user...
