That big fugly can is easily replaced.

Check it.... Muzzy has it handled!

Instead of one ginormous bazooka can, how's about converting to dual CF cans? B)

Or dual stainless canisters....

I still don't like it.

Try this:

1. Close your eyes.

2. Ask yourself: If Pontiac made motorcycles.................?

3. Now open your eyes.

See? Zackly.

At LEAST lose the strakes on the bags. Then, mebbe if you're feeling extra energetic, redesign the bags so the bottom is parallel to the ground, and so that they have an actual sporty, but functional, shape.

Oh, too, ditch that Mega-Whomper wiffleball exhaust can. For Pete's sake, how can anyone give that a pass? The Emperor is naked, and that thing is butt-freakin-ugly.

At worst, put a couple of ZX-14 factory slip-ons on, pull the 'flies & add a PC.... Shizzam!

not sure how they did it but that motor is smooth as silk and the transmission is very quiet when shifting

Dolly Parton once asked Jay Leno what he thought about breast reduction. He gave her a puzzled look and said- no definitly not, two is right, you gotta have two. Same applies to mufflers. And who needs that huge, over engineered shaft settup-FJR's don't jack at all. The Connie looks fine from the side, but from the front or rear it looks like Aretha Franklin while the FJR looks like Isabella Rossalini .

I'll say it again.

This is what I think of when I see that muffler.

Though it would likely look better in CF, this is a marked improvement over the C14's stock can: Two Brothers Exhaust

I like the black one too ! If only it had black wheels !

 

[Gizmo]

I really like the red, Way to Connie :clapping: Now those bags are another story. I sat on one at the local dealer (it was right next to an FJR BTW) and those are positioned ideally to block about half your rear view, way to go connie, WTF :wackosmiley: I do like to see what's happening behind me every once in a while...

 

[black cherry]

I like the red, they should put it in a good looking bike like mine.

I hit my head from ROFLing too hard! :lol:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Why is everyone bitching? Yamaha offers two colors every year. One for the A and one for the AE. See? Two colors. Seriously though, like most, I wish I had had a 'real' choice of colors. I like that red Concourse. I donno if I like it more than my Feej, but I do like it.

For 08 and 09, the FJR is kinda like the old Ford Model T. Henry Ford told people they could have any color they wanted as long as it was BLACK, .

Absolutely! The breadth of the C14 turns me off, the thing looks like a bus next to an FJR.

 

[jmdaniel]

Love that red one.... :clapping:

 

[ShinyPartsUp]

The red Connie with dual carbon exhausts would look sharp, but I've got too much into my FJR to give up on her with only 20,000 miles on the clock.

You got Bro'! Thats Grand Prix Black & LeMans Red, ...first thing thought the first day I saw one Freakin Pontiac! ...and then there's that 'growth' on the tank!

 

[Shadow]

In all seriousness, this shaft drive *is* an impressive looking component..... looks seriously beefy! B)

It looks ugly, never had a problem with the FJR in that area, and it looks neat.

 

[Lee B.]

Like the colors and having a choice. Still prefer the FJR over the C-14 for lots of reasons (don't like exhaust, glove box, big bertha dimensions, smaller gas tank (iirc)).
