Are you sure about this? I was not aware and I thought I was up to speed on this stuff. What Gens? Certainly not a Gen I. Or Gen II? Or..... this has to do with the California only evaporative canister system?
Fuke NO!
Anyone who likes that color must not have had much of a mother! But you can repaint it something better...... Purple..... Bubblegum..... Turd Brown...... Anything would be better than that FUGLY Assphalt Gray!!!!
I would be interested in one. You really need to post this information on the other two major FJR boards: FJROwners and FJRiders. I would also post a photo so people know what you're talking about who are not aware.
Yes, and no. I bought the Smuggler and rear rack used. The previous owner modified the Smuggler to make it work with the rear rack. As for the 'no' part, if you buy a brand new Smuggler, Corbin has said they have changed it and it works with that Yamaha accessory aluminum rack.
Nicely done homemade farkle! I don't love the topcase, but it does come in handy in certain situations. I mount it for my passenger when two-up, or when travelling and need the extra storage.
A couple days ago I took my first ride with the newer Yamaha aluminum rear rack. Much more...
I am the opposite. I love the one piece suit specifically because I can take it off and have normal clothes for whatever activity. Go into a restaurant with jeans and a shirt. Wear shorts under it if you want. I live in Arizona and ride it in all types of weather. Above 90° it gets a bit warm...
I'm sure somebody has done, or attempted a repair like that but I have never seen it and it is going to be very difficult unless you really know what you are doing. Most folks would just replace the panel. The problem is, Yamaha most likely doesn't make new one's anymore.
I would be on ebay...
