    The best year for the FJR1300

    I have a 03 with 170+k miles and it runs great, but there is a 2014 with 21k that is set up nice. So I was curious being you can’t go wrong with the FJR, was there a year that was liked over the other. That said, Ive been a first gen lover. And I had and miss my pristine 05, my 03 is great .

    Mirrors for Gen1

    Who makes a good FZ1 style mirror of a FJR? I had a set of aftermarket mirrors that was not the best of quality for several years, now one has a threaded mount that has broken off and I would like to find a new set.

    Sport touring seat for a Honda Blackbird

    I'm looking to get a seat that made for my 97 Honda Blackbird that would firm it up and widen it for longer distance comfort. I just don't want a RDL design because I want to be able to ride in a sporty way sometimes.  Is there a place that can make the stock seat better?

    Handguards

    I've been using "Freeze Busters" for the past few years during the winter months, and really like the way they shield my hand from the cold and rain. They are easy to install and take off.

    Battery Of Choice

    RossKean, That reminds me of something. I heard that Japan Yausa uses fresh metals in there batteries where the US uses recycled metal. Japan's last longer.
