Really starting to love this bike!

[mscott]

Just got back from a 350 miler. Last weekend was a little over 600. The bike is awesome! Some of you may know I bought a used 04 model that had 9920 miles on it. It had been sitting for pretty much a year, and came with quite a few problems. I was working on it everyday, and getting tired of it. But, thanks to you guys, and the wealth of info available here, I now have a great riding, dependable machine! Time for an oil change, a new set of rubber, and many more miles!

Thanks!

Doesn't get any better than that! Glad you persevered and got through the early "fix it up" stage to where you can now sit back and enjoy the positive aspects of the ride.

Nice looking bike I love the top box spoiler! Glad you got it working like you want it, now enjoy the fruits of your labors!

Funny how a twist of the grip on an FJR can make the whole world seem a bit nicer!

If your not going to mount your new rubber yourself, I highly recommend Two Brothers tires in Lawrenceville, great to do business with. Just think your new hoops will be broke in on the ride home. Give them a call 770-963-7374. Just a satisfied customer no affiliation.

Scott, you dick. You bought the same bike I have. Lets ride sometime. Tell the wife hello for me.

 

[mscott]

Well Hey there Gary! When did you get yours? Did you sell the FZ1? You know, this would be a great bike for Brian. Send me a pic or two of your bike(as well as Barbers, Road Atlanta, deals gap, ETC...)Lets definately get together when the rain quits, IF the rain quits! Call me(but stop callin me Dick) :yahoo:

Where did you get the spoiler for the top case?

Thanks!

Did you buy Howies bike?

Where did you get the spoiler for the top case?

I think in his original post that it is a Honda case.

 

[mscott]

No, not Howies bike :clapping:

And Yes, it is an ST1300(Pan European) top box. It also has a very bright LED third brake light integrated into the spoiler. I fabricated the mount system, then the extra support for the mount system....Should be OK now...

It's kinda weird, but the Color rite paint I painted the top box with matches the bike nicely, but the(factory) paint on the side bags seems to be bluer??? Very noticeable in that pic....

Here's the third brake light. this is before body work/paint...

Nice job. Looks good! I like it! :clapping:

Man, that looks really sweet. That top case looks better than the stock Yamaha case.

 

[Lambo]

That spoiler does look good!!! Has anyone put an after market spoiler on an OEM case? Or has anyone put a chrome luggage rack on one? If so could you post some pics please?
