Well, I'm a new member of the club

[BLS]

2008, 14k miles, zero scratches, and I'm in love.

I expect that I'll be an active participant here.

First thing I noticed on the ride home......NEEDS MIRRORS. Can't see anything.

Welcome!

OK, I give up. What the heck are those big chrome things - police sirens, fans?

Al.

Speakers? :huh:

And to BLS, may I suggest in addition to FZ1 mirrors or mirror extenders also consider installing frame sliders?

Happy trails!

 

[SkooterG]

Congrats on the new FJR!!! Consider yourself assimilated.

And welcome to the nuthouse.

 

[blassoff]

Welcome to the asylum. Either mirror extenders or Yammy F1 mirrors. I found F1's on sleaze-bay for like $30 delivered. They're not perfect, but I can see beyond my shoulders.

If you're gonna buy FZ1 mirrors, spend the extra and buy the OEM 2005 mirrors. 90% or better of those that have bought the cheap knockoff versions have hated them and ended up buying OEMs anyway.

Nice bike BTW...

 

[wfooshee]

Yeah, the knock=offs start sagging 3 or 4 minutes after being installed, and I'm told they don't fold like the genuine item.

Thanks. Sliders are one of the things I plan on putting on. My wish list is already too big for my wallet. :lol:

Something looks different in front of your muffler. What is it?

Yeah, the previous owner put them on. Heat shields to protect the passenger is what he said.
