Thanks for the secondary PM. You've got a reply.

Lights and mounts look great Dale. I've got the same brackets / mounts with some LR4s on my '15. Now you've got me intrigued with the new LX3s.

Did you install a dimmer [skene?] with the LX3s?

Can't see your pictures! When I click on them I get:
"Sorry, you don't have permission for that!"

Looks great.

Like those lights

Besides the lights the matt blue is really beginning to look great to me. As others have said it does grow on you. Wonder how that would look on the wheel rims?

I want to get my top box painted to match the side bags, any idea on where to find a paint code for this new Matte Blue?

Colorrite.com doesn't have it listed yet. Try a PM to Garauld on this forum or an email to Colorrite.

Spoke with ColorRite yesterday, nothing yet. Product is too new.

I think the old chevy nova back in 1970 would match well.

I know I'm new on this forum but I've had my FJR a while... had NO idea those ugly reflectors could be taken off the bags. Think I found my new weekend project!

And that matte blue... I hated it initially but your pics make me really like it. Congrats on a beautiful bike!

Easiest way to remove 'em? Drop your bike in a parking lot.

You're welcome.

I took mine off side swiping a Honda civic. A little bit more of a challenge that way.

JSNS,

True, dat. I was a few bikes back and a scared witness. I wouldn’t recommend trying to duplicate the feat.

I want to paint my silver OEM 39L top box to match the new '18. Trying to decide if I want it the matte blue to match the bags or maybe black to match the tail end of the bike. Thoughts?
