Does anyone know if they make these for the FJR?
Smoked or tinted taillights?

I haven't come across anything, but why would you want to do something to make yourself LESS visible on a motorcycle?

There are a couple of spray-on tinting products on the market, but from what i've seen in the field, such a mod is illegal on a couple different levels. First, it takes away the mandated reflectivity on the lens itself. to get around that, you could add additional reflectors to meet that requirement, which would obviously negate the desired effect of the smoked lens. More importantly though, as stated, the light becomes less visible with the tint applied, such that brake/tail lights aren't visible from minimum legal distances.
It may look cool, 'specially on dark colored vehicles for that blended look, but my opinion... save it for the Show-N-Shine event at the park.

Thanks for the replies. I have ridden for years, with a break in between for the past few, and also do appearance mods to my other "toy", a 4x4 truck. There are TONS of tinted/smoked taillights for vehicles so I was just curious about the FJR.
Again, thanks and I will just stick with stock.

It was a joke! I just had a question, got some answers, and was bantering with some members. I can see a thick skin is necessary around here, thankfully I have one!

Hey now, we each ride our rides in our own way, and mod them our own way as well. Do I get any redemption if I say I rode my old FJR from Atlanta to Montreal, Canada and back, on the backroads?
Ummmm.....with Skooter and a few others on this board....sure. But only did it by way of Mackinaw Bridge scooping up massive rally bonuses on the way and/or bagging a Back-to-Back Bun Burner Gold.Do I get any redemption if I say I rode my old FJR from Atlanta to Montreal, Canada and back, on the backroads?

LOL...Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah Parkway, Adirondacks, crossed in Canada via Fort Covington or Trout River, cannot recall. I, however, do not do IB's, but we did camp 1/2 the time!Ummmm.....with Skooter and a few others on this board....sure.
