https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/b...s-motorcycle#/ Sounds great, I bought 2! NB: please read the entire page as the delivery isn't until April '18, i.e. a kick-start campaign. Please support 'em if you can, cool idea! I found this link on BARF (Bay Area Riders Forum) and thought it...

Hi Nels, I too had the '05 but now have the '15 A. I know you specifically asked about the ES but please consider reading this purchase thread about the '15A here. Here is the full link, if needed: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/169987-2015-fjr/?hl=elgin Disclosure: I...

Hi FNG! I did the same thing, great ride, great deal! I worked at BBK this past summer (inventory) and found everyone there to be straight up, fine, fine people. I really enjoyed the experience. BTW, my wife and I are the one's hosting BBK's Fly-n-Ride. We would meet a buyer, put them up at...

Further to SLT's post, from the May 4, '15 San Francisco Chronicle, B2, Tom Stienstra For those who love the high Sierra, winter's low snowpack translates into a spectacular bonus: an extra month of access and spring-like conditions this May. The latest is that in Yosemite, Tioga Rd and...

@ Top_Speed 1: And... Gas must be cheap right now , as nobody mentioned the better mileage. Riding along on several trips with all of the Gen's, the Gen1 gets (got) the worse mileage easily. For comparison, with my '05 FJR, 62K miles, my avg MPG is 44 riding single, 160 lbs. If I'm really...

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...

Hello, I would like to purchase the right-hand saddle bag for my Galaxy Blue '05 FJR 1300. It was badly damaged and is now unusable. If someone only has a full set for sale that would be fine. An alternative is non-OEM but no luck so far. I check with Givi and they only have the top trunk...

Team, I'm in San Francisco for a few days resting before I continue to Portland, Seattle, Calgary, Dakotas, NE, IA, and finally back to Chicago. It's been a great trip and I'm very grateful for all the local assistance I've rec'd throughout my nearly 3K miles. (I posted the dets under "Denver...

Fantastic! I choose Door #1! :-)

I'm hopelessly incompetent w/posting please don't let this be a 2nd post! :-( Team, So, other than being five years late in responding, hope you don't mind if I respond as I just completed this route not two days ago (8/10) I'll give you a list of cities and you can preview them in your...

Hello, I haven't seen this posted yet so I'll take a stab at it, my contribution for being new, and having already taken more than I've contributed! In the 5/08 edition of Cycleworld, Powerlet advertised their "Powerlet Powerbar Plus". NB: this was not a review, just an advert. You can find...

Cap'n Bob, Would you kindly post the pics or tell me how to receive them so as not bog down other users who may not be interested? I'd like to purchase that shelf, esp. as the CA Sport Touring indicated he now has a Zumo 550 specfic attachment. Thanks and regards, Patrick

Hello, I looked in the for sale section for the following parts for my 2005 FJR. Other than University Motors, any ideas? I live in Chicago. I had a low speed get-off (100% my fault) and my beautiful m/c went sliding down an on-ramp. I would like to purchase the following parts for the...
