Are you sure they will actually fit your bike? Looking at the https://www.genmarmfg.com page I see raisers for gen I and II but NOT for III.

Gen III started in '13, and the item indicates up to '15, so, yes, Gen III is covered. Plus, as far as I'm aware there was no design difference between '15 and '16 that would impact the handlebars. As well, I bought it from their Amazon page, and the first question on the Q & A area is:
Question:
Are these risers for 2006-on FJR 1300?
Answer:
The risers will fit the 2006-2016 Yamaha FJR1300. By GenMar Mfg. SELLER on April 11, 2016
...so it looks like they're for Gen II and Gen III, with a specific inclusion of '16.

I'm really looking forward to seeing work on forks done.
Other than oil for my forks, is there anything I can bring? Tools, cards, smoked salmon, Canadian beer?

By the way, where is everyone staying? I haven't booked a room yet but am planning on coming \Friday night and leaving Sunday morning. May as well be social.

@Maj, see first post in thread for a couple hotel recommendations that are close.
Most of us are local so it's just a morning ride. If you want to stay farther north, a group will be getting together in Monroe and then Carnation for the ride down.

I'm out for this Tech Day. Memorial Service. Try catching up with you all at a later date.
Another change of plans. I'm back in! And since I had taken the day off work to attend my wife's function I can even be there on time! I think I'll just plan to change out my fork oil instead of a full rebuild. Looking forward to seeing everyone! I think Dex857 will be tagging along as well.

I'm having the same thing done. Where are you picking up your oil and what do you use? I have to grab some myself and cannot bring it across the border if I buy it up here.
I need to look through the forum and find what is recommended. I have never changed the oil on the FJR.

You can have whatever you buy sent to my house directly if that helps. Or KFG is local and they stock the Maxim oil that GP Suspension recommends to be used and you could pick it up there. They are about 8 miles from my house. Just let me know if you drop ship so I know to expect it. Also do it so they don't need a signature as no one is usually home when UPS or FedEx delivers.
As much as it pains me (and my wallet) I'm just going to go by the local Yamaha dealer and get a couple of cans of the Yamaha 01.

KFG stocks the Maxima oil the GP Suspension recommends. Others have used the Honda fork oil too.

Safe to assume that I only need to buy one can of the liquid gold that is Yamalube 01 Suspension Oil? It appears to be a 1 liter can.
