    WynPro Air Induction Cover Plates

    Received the cover plates at noon today, zero issues and they were installed on my '13 and I was enjoying an adult beverage before 3pm... Dave, thanks for such beautifully machined plates and making them available to the FJR community, they are works of art, too bad they're hidden under the...

    If You Could Reinvent The FJR What Would You Change?

    I'll be a bit contrary and would prefer changes that simplify instead of complicate, if I could reinvent the FJR I'd attempt weight reduction as much as possible up to and including chain drive as a replacement for shaft, do away with the linked brakes, redesign the panniers making them smaller...

    Big Farkles Completed

    Looking at the front of your cowl below the radiator you might want to consider adding a Pyramid Plastics Fenda Extenda and a Cox Radiator Guard to your 'to do' list... inexpensive protection for the cowl and radiator...

    Dyna Beads - Do they work? If so, how?

    An option instead of buying Dyna Beads is to pick up a bottle of airsoft pellets... I bought a bottle of 2k heavyweight airsoft pellets, .25 gram, for $7. The pellets are all consistently sized and smooth and they're large enough they won't get stuck in a bit of moisture should it be in the...

    Please add me to your list of those waiting Dave, I'm ready for the re-designed version for my '13 as soon as you are ready... and some of those lovely block off plates as well!

    FJR1300A 2013 or FJR1300A 2014

    Actually, the '13 doesn't have the rear inner flap either, it's part # 5JW-21621-10, it cost $12 and took me about 3 seconds to install... I can't figure why Yamaha deleted it from the Gen III's unless it was to save a few bux...

    Farkle a '14ES with carbon fiber weave textured vinyl

    Thanks for the update, the camera angle made it look like it would be more dramatic than a 1/2" difference... good! I'm really liking those Delkevic slip-ons...

    Farkle a '14ES with carbon fiber weave textured vinyl

    Thanks for the images! You're right, I'd wonder if the 18" would end up too close to the bags? Have you taken her off the center stand yet? The left side mid-pipe looks lower and is angled differently than stock and it looks like the center stand stop is lower which would keep the center...

    Farkle a '14ES with carbon fiber weave textured vinyl

    The Delkevic carbon silencers should look great with your '14, be sure to post up pictures... one image request if you do post up pictures, once the new silencers are installed could you take a shot from either side of the bike with the bags in place? I'm curious how the balance will look with...

    Sneaky Sticker Thank-You

    While you've got the hair dryer out heat up the stupid reflectors on the bags... hold the reflectors with a pair of ChannelLocks and twist the reflectors gently as you heat them, they're gone in under a minute, clean up any residue with Goo Gone or alcohol then polish with wax... your FJR will...

    The Agony and the Ecstacy

    Good deal! I love my '13, I have a strong feeling you will too... the '14's red is NICE and all, but the stone grey of the '13 is stunning... Now you need to start researching Canyon Cages and Bag Guards and Cee Bailey's windshields and permanent oil filters and, well you get the idea... Enjoy...

    New Windshield

    I completely agree, I received my Cee Bailey's sport dark grey windshield for my '13 yesterday and the packing was completely over the top, even for UPS it would take quite an effort to damage that windscreen. I've purchased from Cee Bailey's multiple times and the quality never disappoints...

    Canyon cages

    I got mine directly from the manufacturer, MC Enterprises https://MC Enterprises USA They shipped quickly and the cages and bag guards were an easy 2 beer install job! They look great... Here's the contact info and part numbers: MC ENTERPRISES 835 Flynn Road Camarillo, California 93012...
