What are you getting your FJR for Christmas?

Only a few more shopping weeks left, so it's time to get cracking.

Here's my short list:

1) Redesigned Super Brace

2) Givi V46 top case

3) Russell or Rick Mayer saddle

4) HID headlight conversion

5) Audiovox cruise control

6) Set of Avons

Going under "the knife" Dec. 16th and will be pretty much out of it for 8 weeks during recovery, so anyone who wants to come install some of this stuff for me is welcome to. I might just let you ride it. :)

 
Toss up between a seat and GPS. Since I still haven't decided if I'm going to get an '06 (seats aren't interchangeable, right?), I might go with a GPS. Anything else I buy will, most likely, have to be interchangeable with the 06.

 
Eve's idea was that we get a better intercom setup for ourselves for Christmas. I ordered a Softline setup last night. Next Saturday we do a ride-in for a Rick Mayer saddle fitting. HID conversion is waiting for me to install. V-Strom handguard kit is on order. Long distance riding in cold weather is about to get more comfortable. She ordered some expedition-weight long underwear yesterday so she can come along! Oh yeah, and a Lee Parks advanced riding clinic tomorrow for me so we can be safer & smoother (and maybe a bit quicker). Super brace might be on the list before Christmas as well, maybe. :)

 
Well what I've got that I need to install:

HID HeadLights

Audiovox CC

I'm ordering:

PHIDs

Russell Seat

And I'm thinking about contacting Dean Tanji about one of his fuel cells.

I'd like to get the FJR a little brother and sister.

I can get the brother but the SO is unsure about a sister. I think she prefers quads.

Here's what santa has just dropped off for us

The new ipod 60gb Video

The jury is still out on a GPS though

 
Got the HID's on order.

Last X-mas (plus tax returns) was the big one (Givi V46, Riley pegs, Gerbings liner, Spiegler lines [Ack! still not installed], Top Gun ECM shelf, Autocom, radiator guard, CB+3+4 shield, and Powerlet kits).

Now I need to think about a custom saddle for next year.

I have a rare guaranteed entry into the next Three Flags Classic (9/1 to 9/4, Tijuana to Penticton) but I don't figure my stock saddle (or is it my stock @ss?) is up to the task. I get cranky after six to eight hours of riding and I sure don't want to hop back on the next day.

 
Strongly contemplating a new seat...

Would like a GPS, but am not sure which one...

Need to install my Spiegler lines now that I've got all the banjo's...

Need to get the new Avon Rubber on before it rains....

 
GPS...GPS...GPS...GPS...GPS...GPS...GPS...GPS...

Whattsamattuguys...can't you read maps? :D

Or just too stubborn to ask for directions?

 
Now Skyway will be watching porn on the 2 inch screen while he is screaming down the highway! Look out!

:fie:

 
Bike show is tomorrow in Fort Worth so Christmas comes early for me!

And I finally get to see my new 06 in person. Can't wait for tomorrow like I was 10 on christmas eve!!

Not during the winter, as the visor fogs up too quickly. :D

Sounds like you recently graduated from the RAD & TWN 'Institute of Language Studies'. :lol:
