    FJR1300 Air Wings (deflectors)

    You should enjoy the air wings Gary. I love how they make a difference on my ride. They keep me a bit cooler in the heat and warmer in the cold, plus baker makes some good products and I like how they look on the bike. Hope they work out for you.

    FJR1300 Air Wings (deflectors)

    I didn't use grommets on the posts of my custom install. I actually used black weather stripping from your local hardware store. I simply cut them thin and lean, and with the tape adhesive the stripping comes with I looped it around hole I made for the mounting and for good measure used my heat...

    FJR1300 Custom Paint - what do you think

    A few months ago a guy hit me causing my bike to go down and tear up the left side of the bike and crack the front fairing. I am fine and his insurance is paying for all the damages as the driver was completely at fault. The insurance totaled-out my bike and paid for the replacement as I am keep...

    Gen 1 2003 FJR - left side fairing parts needed

    It finally happened.. some douche hit me and caused me to go down on the left side. I wasn't hurt, but I scratched up the left side fairing pretty good. I am looking for non-scratched or broken silver left upper and lower fairing plastic, as well as the front fairing piece (that got broke). I...

    stater & cold nature issue - strange

    Thanks for the reply. I have confirmed the battery is good. After reading further posts on the forum, I am suspecting the starter. Anyone got a good illustrated/ video tutorial on replacing a starter. I would attempt to do it myself and I wouldn't even know where to begin and what I would need...

    stater & cold nature issue - strange

    Hey gang, I could use some advise or help on a strange starter issue on my 03' FJR. The problem I have is that if I have been riding the bike and then stop to get some gas or something, if I try and start the bike right back up, it cranks slow like the battery is dying. If I switch to neutral...

    replacement front signals

    Be careful, those are only the TWO WIRE flush mounts you posted from Ebay. You want the three wire setup for full function on your FJR.

    replacement front signals

    The turn signals are very bright LEDs and show up really well. I was very presently surprised.

    Chrome Master Cylinder Covers - Kewl

    The covers are stainless so they will not rust and they come with the plastic seals on the inside as the OEM covers so there is no chance of interior rust on the parts.

    Chrome Master Cylinder Covers - Kewl

    Your right.. "to each his own" I haven't had an issue of reflection on the covers, and if I do I simply move my head. I was just glad to find an option for a bit of dress-up on my bars. Some might like it and some might not. I just thought you guys who were interested might want to know about...

    Chrome Master Cylinder Covers - Kewl

    Searching the web high and low I found a shop that sells covers for those ugly black master cylinder covers that sit right there on your bars. Here are a few pics of my new covers, and they even engraved "FJR" on the covers. NICE! I made the mistake and bought one thinking the price was for...

    replacement front signals

    I finally replaced my stock Gen1 turn signals with some flush mounts I am really happy with. Here are a few pics: These were surprisingly very easy to put on and fit right in the turn signal positions perfect. They cost a bit more then what I was looking for but as you know there are not a...
