I have found a great deal on an '18A and thinking of getting it. I want to take as many of the farkles from my '09A as possible. I know that basically the tank back is the same. My rear Canyon Cage pannier guards will fit, but will need new fronts for the '18. (Yes, I know CC is out of business, but there are other options including used).
I have a Helibar top mount on the '09; that should fit the '18, yes?
Dash shelf; I know there is a different design for Gen 3 but unsure what all that is, so IF I can find a used one, OK, but if not, will look at what it takes to adapt. Maybe some trimming?
My RDL seat will fit no problem, and my aux tank setup should also. My '09 is high miles (will be ~135K or so at the end of July), so if I can't sell it whole, may take that drilled tank (which is covered with a Bagster cover so color diff not noticable) and put it on the new one, and set the new, undrilled tank on a shelf. I'll post the '09 for sale here and elsewhere first before I make that decision. Q: are the bottom fuel fittings the same Gen 2 to 3?
What else? I'm not going to the extremes I did with the '09, but I do use my FJR primarily for LD, so some things in that direction are required equipment IMO.
I have a Wilburs shock and fork springs; that should go over no problem.
I need to come up with some clean aux light brackets; anyone know who has them?
I'm going to ditch the wired J&M CB setup and will do a bluetooth (Sena 20?) from my Garmin 550. The GPS bluetooths to my phone which in turn provides streaming music, audible books, and of course calls. The GPS should also give me turn by turn guidance when I need it. Old GPS, but I now have 3 of them with the mounts, so have spares of everything and will work fine for my use.
Matte Blue isn't my favorite FJR color by a long shot, but if this deal goes the way I think it will, then I'll be OK with it. I'm dreaming of cruising @ 80 in 6th gear already!
