[QUOTE="RichardS, post: 574490, member: 16908"] I traded in an '04 RT for my '08 AE, purely for the auto clutch/shift due to a left hand problem. I put on a dif seat & windscreen on the RT, and that was it. No problems, good since the nearest dealer was 115 miles away. And certainly NOT top heavy, the low COG was a buying point when I 'flicked' it around a dead skunk in the road. Great horns!! My FJR is a piece of shit! New yam seat, Rifle screen, like both, but the engineering on this bike sucks. I can't change tail light bulbs, the wires are too short as are most of other wires. Disconnected the screen retract, that was a stupid Yam idea. Needed bar backs and Grip Puppies for the right hand (a common FJR problem). And now with 282 miles on it, took it back to the dealer 46 miles away due to the AE computer took a dump. Piss poor horns. Faster than my RT, but I'm 63, don't give a shit. I test rode a new '06 RT back then, much better than my '04. If the RT had an AE model, I would have bought it no matter the cost!! Never again another Yam.!! [/QUOTE]
