Mine split too with only a few rides this winter (brand new bike and brand new caps). My post about it is buried somewhere within the thread containing the initial complaint. I'm thinking the colder winter temperatures might have contributed to the quick failure.
I just happen to have 2 PAIR systems sitting around, so I gave your idea a try on 2 of my ports. There's enough hose and clamps provided with the PAIR system that you remove to make all 4 block-off caps; you just need to buy 3 more plugs (in my case, i only need 2 more
). I found the plugs at Cycle Parts Warehouse for $4.83 each, but shipping is more than the quoted link. For 2 plugs, the total including shipping was almost the same at both places (~$20). It'll probably be a bit cheaper at Cycle Parts Warehouse when ordering 3.
Ehh no, that would have been the smart thing to do. They look a great deal like the Blackbird ones in Warchilds photo.
After some searching, I found this:
Hey Gramps! You following this?Jebus! You could eat off that thing. Somebody needs to go get it dirty, or something.
That's the one, well except the clean part.After some searching, I found this:
If there was enough interest I bet Garauld could be convinced to make some sets up.
Gunny THAT! Put me on the list!That's the one, well except the clean part.After some searching, I found this:
Gramps found this, even better thread: <Link>
I would be interested in making some of these up also. If you could send me some info PM me. I can take igs dxf dwg or solid works viewer.
CNC the Yamaha logo in the two outside plates and "FJR" in the wider, middle plate, and I'd bet they'd sell like hotcakes!

I sent a PM to CMB and tried to PM ELP_JC, but the PM to ELP_JC returned this message:
No Problem, I also have one of garaulds rack and backrest and he does do excellent work, I am working on a few projects for the FJR at this time myself. I respect your opinion and yes I am sort of new here.I sent a PM to CMB and tried to PM ELP_JC, but the PM to ELP_JC returned this message:
"This message can not be sent because the recipient has their personal messenger disabled or they are in a member group not allowed to use the personal messenger."
I figured is was the polite thing to do :dntknw: It seemed to me that they were the first ones making these things. Maybe they are interested in making more.
08FJR4ME, If someone on the forum has an idea for a custom part, but lacks the tools/skill to make it themselves there were typically two vendors that they thought of. garauld is the only one of those two remaining. I don't know how garauld can provide such high quality parts and service to forum members for the price that he does. It's out of respect for what he's done that I made my offer.
O.K.?
I've gotta go. Webby's got the parts waiting for me. (I hope he has beer too)
edit: Holy shit! I type slow! can you believe I started composing this post right after 08FJR4ME's post (post #29)?
(Well, I did have two PMs to send too)
