Owning a motorcycle is expensive

[FJR1300]

After I bought my Motolights...

I told my wife I was done buying things for my bike.

Then I saw this...

So now, of course, I had to have one.

Problem is I already bought a nice Close Canyon Dual Sport seat from Corbin...

So if anyone is interested in a slightly used Close Canyon Dual Sport, let me know. I really like the "close" version of the Canyon Dual Sport because it drops me an inch lower to the ground and it puts me an inch closer to the bars.

And if anyone can help me with a reason why the Smuggler trunk is a "safety" improvement... it would help me convince my wife that I really needed to buy this.

Probably the biggest safety factor would be your inability to pick up female hitchhikers ...

I already have a dual sport, I need the front of the two piece modular system.

Question is do you really "need" it or do you really "want" it? Looks good though. PM. <><

How much for the dual sport?

Has it been cut down to its maximum?

How are those Motolights? Do they throw a wide or narrow beam. They look pretty neat and I like the caliper mount. i wonder if folks might be interested in a group buy on them.

I love them and you can get them either way. In the picture below, they look very bright, but because they mount low... oncoming traffic is not bothered.

My web site has some more photos of the lights.

Message sent to the owner... I'll let you know.

A group buy is on for the lights... check out this thread:

Didn't you ask is anyone was interested in a "slightly used Close Canyon Dual Sport"? Then when petey asks what you want for it you tell him you already have one. ???

Dooh!

That's going to leave a mark!

I didn't read his post the way I should have... anyhow I think he sent me a PM.

With the new Smuggler on your bike your wife can stay home and be safe because there is no longer a seat for her....there's your safety reason.

As you can see, I have one on my 2006 FJR (pictured below), so my husband can stay safely at home or ride his own bike :yahoo:

That smuggler trunk is pretty, but dang, do they want a lot for it!

It doesn't look like it it would fit with the Givi rack. Anyone know?

And I'm about to hook up those motolights. Any practical advice on the install?

 

[qmotion]

The Givi trunk will not work with the smuggler. That came from Givi. I had one of their dealers inquire about it.

You might want to ask Corbin about Givi rack compatibility (see link below where Corbin shows Smuggler + Givi top case):

Note: I am not sure about 2006 model.

Best regards,

Thanks for that on the Givi. I blew up that picture, and it appears to be a Givi rack.
