[QUOTE="jammess, post: 1399162, member: 89387"] Got a good idea from FJRay the other day, good guy by the way. Guy he knows replaced the Yamaha tuning fork symbol on the gas tank with a couple of BMW roundels [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/IMG] which I might try if I can find one the right size. Then go to a BMW group thing where I'm sure everyone will have a good laugh. Well, maybe. More than once a stranger has come up to me and complemented me on "my nice BMW". I just agree and point out their error and it never fails to surprise them. Kind of off topic but just got through with about 800 miles with my new rear shock for a 2017 on my '10FJR and all I can say is: WOW, well worth it. I was solo with GIVI V46 and saddle bags and she handled like a different machine especially in the curves. Ride smoothness was also improved and I can definitely tell a difference between the hard/soft rear shock setting now for sure. Worth the 350 bucks and a whole lot cheaper than a new bike. [/QUOTE]
