[QUOTE="Chicago_FJR, post: 1227784, member: 14318"] Dayven, I'm sorry to hear about your injury. I have an '05 FJR 1300, the last of the Gen I's. The '06 saddle bags fit the '05 as I have them on mine. I don't know if later years fit prior generations. If anyone is in the San Francisco Bay area and wants to do a little experimenting for your benefit, we can try to make that work out. All being told though, if you can buy a later model, do so. The heat issues on my '05 are really bad. I've spent 00's of $ on wrapping, this, that, and the other thing. All to no avail. The heating issue became less and less in '06 and '07 and, I think, by '08 it was all but gone. would welcome an '08 owner to confirm. However, after 62K miles, it runs like a champ. Someone wrote earlier it is a "gas and go" bike, but don't forget to change the oil sometimes too! Highly accurate in my estimation. Even my valve clearance checkup at 24K (26K?) was minimal. It's been nothing but a wonderful m/c. Mizu (her name) makes me a far better rider than I actually am. Speedy recovery. Patrick [/QUOTE]
