Since it's winter here, got another piece to put on.

Nice refinements with the lighting and dash. Damn that blue is nice. 6 speed is meh to me, I find the engine has so much torque that I enjoy not having to shift as much compared to my other rides. Makes me wonder if this is the last refresh before a completely new model comes out. My wish...

I've had 4 seatconcepts seats. The amount of power that the FJR has will make you slide to the back when you accelerate hard with the carbon fiber. It wears extremely well however. I had one on my KLR for 3 years and it showed little to no wear with the carbon fiber. I agree that the gripper...

This is what I used:

I did actually mention in in post #31 here it is again... " Just got back from a 2 hour solo no stopping to get off ride. Here are more impressions of this seat. The foam has just enough softness and firmness for this extended ride. I am able to adjust forward and rear. The seat does not...

Nope. Just a matching cover for the OEM foam. I ordered the matching vinyl cover, but would vastly prefer a better foam too for the wife.

I'm hoping that people enquiring with Seatconcepts will also enquire about a foam replacement for the passenger seat as well. Would be nice option for those that need it too.

Sorry Uncle Hud, but no French in my abilities out in the West. I'm also an Island transplant from decades ago when I was 2. Thanks for the effort though!! So I decided to take some photos of the width of the seat so everyone can better see the sizing difference as well. Sorry the tape...

Just got back from a 2 hour solo no stopping to get off ride. Here are more impressions of this seat. The foam has just enough softness and firmness for this extended ride. I am able to adjust forward and rear. The seat does not lock you in one position. Mostly I was just looking around and...

xcsp, The seat is grippy for sure. You have to lift a bit to adjust. I have had the pure carbon seat and it's too slippery, especially with a powerful engine. The gripper Seatconcepts seat is similar to the OEM seat. I was trying to feel for change on the footpeg height and knee bend, but...

Okay, just got back from a 25 minute ride with the wifey, so here is *ahem* my seat of the pants quick observation. First of all my specs: 5'7" during low gravitational pull, 180lb, 30 inch inseam. When you order your seat, they will ask you for your "true" weight, so don't fluff it up! 1...

I must have gotten the extra special limited edition FJR. Check out my GPS indicated speed on a closed course Gravel road with MX tires... ...oh and YMMV...hehe! Cheers Rod

I will follow-up with a ride soon, just need to find some free time in the next day or so, to get out for an extended ride before the snow flies. Cheers Rod

Received my parcel yesterday: Here is the installation: First removal of the staples from the OEM seat. You can use a flat blade screwdriver, but this staple remover does a cleaner job and is easier to remove the staples. Then removing of the OEM foam. There was glue only on the front...

Boy this FJR community is tight! I'm glad that reading this thread ended well. All the best to you in the future Steve and family even though I don't know you at all. Cheers all. Rod

Finally got my tracking number for the seat! Supposed to snow this Saturday...sheesh!

Jack, you should really test ride the Super T. It is an amazing machine. I had a 2013. Great for long distances, super stable in slow stuff, rips 140km/h on gravel easily. Two -up on gravel roads is also fun. I miss it and wish I could have both in the stable. The riding position is very...

Oh I didn't know there was tech days for the FJR for Albertians! Since I'm still a noob on this site, that is great to know. I am not able to attend that day however as I will be attending another event. Thanks

Put on a Fenda Extenda, and R & G kickstand foot.

I've done both glue and no glue. They will not provide glue. Easy to pick up the 3M spray glue. Seems to make no difference in keeping the foam/seat in place. Proper installation of the vinyl cover is what matters most. On the FJ-09 I had, even the OEM foam was not glued down. The KLR650...
