My 2013 FJR has arrived.....

[RsvlFeej]

Wow! What a fookin' beauty (and I'm not talking about the guy in the wife beater that keeps photobombing your pics).

I just busted my cubbyhole auto-latch - wonder if the wife will let me order one now...

 

[Fairlaner]

oh yeah thanks RH.....

I would change it but it isn't an option yet....Iggy to the white phone.....

Sweet Ride!! Im a little jealous but since I've only been on my 05 for a little more than a year my bike just makes me smile everytime I ride it. Congrats :yahoo:

 

[ahchiu]

Congrats on your new bike!

Nice looking bike, Richard. Here are my questions:

1. How are the bars? Same need for risers? Will the Heli fit?

2. How much better or worse is the suspension over a GP suspension?

3. What about smoothness? See any need for a PC V or is acceleration and off throttle response smooth?

4. Room for fuze block and stuff under the seat?

5. How much of your 08 farkles will transfer over?

6. Improvements in mpg?

7. Need for an upgraded windshield?

8. What about adding hand guards or shelf?

9. How many miles before you land another ticket?

10. A Gen I, II, and III leave S Cal for NAFO. Which one gets there first?

 

[Hudson]

Looks like Dale has many of these covered...

We should move this question to a poll.

10. A Gen I, II, and III leave S Cal for NAFO. Which one gets there first?

This one's easy....

If it's an '04 with an '03 motor in it, the Gen I is the smart bet.

Too easy...the one with Fairlaner piloting it!

I dunno, George. There was that unresolved contest in Eureka... (ducks)

Ouch...that's going to leave a mark.

[Fairlaner]

well i think with the new ECO mode the Gen3 will need less fuel...

Also i just discovered my Skyway sliders won't fit....BooHoo...$70 anyone?

Heli triple clamp looks like it will fit...

Same room under the seat as 08...

New Screen yes

hand gaurds maybe not, never had heated grips so i will see how they work.

The suspension i liked, will not change anything just yet.

smoothness was great, but i only had it in touring so far, will give it a better run tomorrow.

Definate improvement in MPG while in ECO mode...twist the grip and ECO mode is gone though...

As far as tickets go it has been a long time since i got a ticket on a bike......in fact it was not long after i got the 08 :dribble: :dribble: :dribble:

Great looking ride and congratulations! What are the stock tires on the bike from the dealer? Can't wait to hear more about your thoughts on the suspension as you begin to flog the bike.

 

[Fairlaner]

the tires are my favorites.....BT023's.

And Dave you better duck.....bedsides he rides a harley now so no problem.....

A worth successor to the immortal 2004 FJR!

Some 2004s are more immortal than others, aren't they?

Wow, looks great and apparently some good engineering too boot. My vote is to match the smuggler to the side bags. I was gonna make some wise crack about 'let the farkling begin' but you beat me to it.. My guess is you'll be in the man-cave for the foreseeable future! Congrats
