SOLD - 2013 FJR1300 in Montana

[Pterodactyl]

In addition to the information provided in the Craig's List link below, I will facilitate a fly and ride. Pick-up the rider at the Helena Airport, provide lodging and meals for two nights and just maybe a wee dram. You will take delivery of a bike ready to take on a long ride while you are in the heart of a fantastic riding area. Bring your passport and ride southern Alberta and British Columbia, including Jaspe/Banff National parks and the Nakusp region; ride in the Rockys of western Montana and Idaho, we are located 20 miles from the Continental Divide; or, take in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks as well as the Beartooth Pass and Chief Joseph Byway.

I will not yet change the price on the Craig's List ad, but a buyer from this forum will get the reduced price.

Ohh man, I live about 8 hours ride north of you, and though I remain enamoured with my old Gen1, have to admit you're making it hard to maintain my fidelity...

GLWS!

No better maintained FJR on the planet.

Good price for what you receive.

Cyclepath, you N E E D this bike!

Hey Big John, yes, I do lust after a number of candidate "update" replacements for my old girl, but right now I'm also one of those guys spending some time doing necessary maintenance on my current mount:

• I'll take my FJR's rear subframe into a specialist aluminum TIG welder recommended by my local bike shop here. Last July, while preparing for my next long trip, I noticed a 1cm long crack through the aluminum box section tubing on left side. This subframe supports rider + passenger, my heavy saddlebags and full size tail trunk. Initially I panicked a bit, thinking I'd have to bow out of a trip to Colorado that 4 of us had planned / made reservations for 6 months earlier. A buddy came by my garage, and soon we decided I could easily fashion a safe splint piece from some scrap aluminum plate I had, then we bolted it right through that frame with 4 M6 bolts. Worked just fine ever since (~8000 Kms more), but now its time to resolve it with a more permanent fix
• The HyperPro rear shock + remote adjuster which I've really been happy with for almost 6 years, now needs a rebuild. Have to extract it and send it back to New Jersey (EPM PERFORMANCE IMPORTS), and let them freshen it with new seals etc.

Without taking care of these 2 items, I'd have no reasonable offers from prospective buyers. My garage just doesn't have room for 2 FJRs...

Very nice bike and a good price. Am I having deja vu? Was this bike for sale once before?

 

[SkooterG]

If I didn't already have four FJRs........

 

[Pterodactyl]

I will store it free of charge in my heated shop until the new caretaker can pick it up.

 

[Pterodactyl]

On the advice of counsel I am lowering the price to $6,750. I will not change the Craigs List post, but if I am contacted through this forum, then lower price applies.
