I am satisfied with my GIVI and would say it does not suck. I probably should have paid more attention to the missing rubber bumpers or perhaps it was not latched down 100%. I can't be totally sure, I had only ridden about a mile when it came loose. Have to pay attention to it just like...

Lost mine a couple weeks ago going around a curve in my neighborhood at about 25 mph over a series of potholes that I couldn't avoid. It bounced and slid across the steet, up into a yard. A guy out in his driveway saw it and thought that was a pretty tough box since it never came open and...

Thanks for posting. Fun to watch.

Check on ebay every once in a while. Found one for $46 that was like new. Great investment even at the full price though.

On the other hand, I could put on the yellow one and listen to my Harley buddies ask me what the hell I'm thinking. They also give me a funny look when I tell them I use Rotella oil. "Isn't that for trucks?" They don't get the FJR thing at all. "How can you ride on that crotch rocket bike?"...

I'm sensing bitterness... and I understand. Actually there is one about 15 miles from here - some would consider that local. I'd rather spend a couple bucks more if I can find it right here in town.

OK, thanks.

The friendly fellow at the Napa store cross referenced the Purolator 14610 to a NapaGold 1356. He said they are made by WIX. Has anyone had any experience using the Napa filters? I've used the Super Tech ST7317 in the past with no problems but there is no Walmart locally. There's a place in...

I am still amazed that some dealers don't allow test rides. I would look for another dealer, maybe one with a used FJR.

hmmmm... interesting. Thanks for the idea.

My '07 with 8k miles has a little bit of buildup there. About half of what you have.

If anyone is thinking about changing their own tires but not sure if they are capable, just do it. I was telling my Harley buddy that I was thinking about getting a Cycle Hill tire changer. CYCLE HILL. He was also interested in getting a tire changer and when he looked into the Cycle Hill, he...

I was referred to this site by a friend when I was looking for tires. I found that the prices were reasonable and I got free shipping and a $50 discount on an order of $300 or more. I ended up ordering Metzelers front and back, valve stems, rim protectors and spark plugs. Everything shipped...

Always hate to here of things like this. I'm glad the injuries were not more serious. Hope she heals quickly and you can both put it behind you. Danno

Some of the small paint marks on the plates are hard to see. It seemed like they wiped off so I would be careful of that. I did mine without taking off the cowling, just loosened it, it would be easier it it were off. I also loosened the plastic side panel to be able to get the clutch cover...

I enjoyed reading your report. Alone time is valuable isn't it? "Problem is, the bike is a speeding ticket waiting to happen." I also am concerned with the inevitable speeding ticket. Anyone have suggestions on how to not get carried away? The FJR is just too smooth and powerful. If ever...

I knew it was something I needed to do. Soak the plates. I talked to my dealer about it and he was skeptical that it would help and suggested I use lighter oil. I use 15-40 Rotella. He suggested 10-40 sythetic. I believe Yamaha recommends 20-40 so I did not think this sounded right...

Nice pictures. Good for you for finally making your trip.

Very nice.

My '07 looks the same as your picture.
