Try eBay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=remus+hexacone Try eBay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=remus+hexacone There is a pair on there for $999.00. Listing shows for 01 through 06. In body of ad it lists all FJR's that it will fit and the 2008 is listed. Good luck.

Thank you all for your help. That clears up everything for me. Now I need to decide on the Shad with a Stiffy Kit or a Givi with the SR357. Decisions, decisions. Both boxes seem good with each one having their own little quirks. Thanks again.

O.K. I understand now. If I order the Givi SR357 rack it comes with the plastic Givi mount to accept the Givi top box. If you want to install the Shad you have to remove the plastic mount from the Givi SR357 and mount the Shad mounting plate to accept the Shad top box. Is that correct?

I appreciate the feed back so far but still has not answered my question. Does the Shad SH50 mount directly onto the Givi SR357 mount or do you have to modify to make it work?

This might have been talked about before so forgive me if I'm bringing up an old subject. I have read in some places the off hand comments that the Shad SH50 top case can be mounted on a Givi SR357 rack mount. Does the Shad mount exactly the same as the Givi E55? I want the Givi SR357 mount...

I was afraid of that. Damn, now I have to decide if I want to spend the exra money.

That poping sound is my head coming out of my ass. Should have been 2014 as you know. Damn, wish I could take the whole question down. Is there a way to edit a topic?

Has anyone bought the optional Givi E55 top box color lid for a candy red FJR? Did it match?

Are these plates still available?

Talk about anal retentive! It is a motorcycle for Christ sake. If you use it, it is going to get nicks and dings. If you can't deal with that, park it, cover it up, and don't enjoy it. I use the ignition key to take my caps off and have not seen any damage. But then I don't worry about it...

Do you not have insurance? When I totaled my '04 in November of '05, the insurance gave me $10,900. I put $1900 with the check and bought an '06 in April '06 from Yamaha SportsCenter in Texarkana, TX. Was knda of a no brainer.

I will add my crash that totaled an '04. Nice sunny Sunday. Went into a shaded corner were somebody had spilled diesel fuel. Saw the color change on the pavement but there are a lot of color changes on Texas farm to market roads so did not consider it a problem. WOW! Let me tell you about...

I also bought my '06 from Tony at Yamaha Sportscenter in Texarkana. He was honest and easy to talk to. Took the MSRP price and reduced it $1500 and then did TT&L. My '06 was $12,904.65. Best price I know of in Texas. The dealers in Dallas will not even try to match or come close to Tony's...

There actually two manuals for the FJR (1st generation). The standard manual covers the FJR '03 through '05 except for the ABS feature. Since it was an option, a seperate manual addresses the ABS. It is titled FJR 1300 Supplementary Service Manual LIT-11616-17-27. If you have a non-ABS bike...

Nothing on your list. I do have a black anodized Superbrace for a non-ABS 04 FJR. If your interested.
