Nothing says "butt dart" more than the white seat........

In part to the original question, the bike I had before my FJR was a BMW K1200rs, nice bike but in all honesty I like my FJR better. Although the FJR is much less expensive, it is still a better bike, IMO overall. But one huge factor was the dealership availability. The sole dealership here in...

I mounted my XM antenna inside the fairing on the left side behind the glove box. Works great and cant be seen. It 's pretty much just stuffe in the area with a ton of foam padding, havn't thought about in years.

Mike, All came out good, could have been worse! Nuthin an O'briens hurican can't fix!

couldn't help it

Without XM reception, it's a no-go for me. Otherwise I'd have already bought one, after having Xm on the 550 there's no going back. Just hoping for next year a Garmin 770 with stereo blue tooth, Serius instead of XM, Ipod input and control, a good integrated helmet, and a Gen III FJR! Is that...

This is by far the best paint job yet and it's Factory, I'm seriously considering this paint job for my 07'. Why do the europeans get all the cool colors?

Never stopped me! :yahoo: Just kidding, congrats on the bike!

Brewsky, Good job on the PN research, is there any way you could find out if the master cylinder is the same from the 09' to the 07'? My point is if we can tell if that is the only change, if the master cylinder diameter has changed thn we have a whole new variable. Thanks!

I agree with the above said, install during a tire change and to the right of the bike. Mine have worked flawlessly, highly recommended. Should have come stock.

The minor hesitation of the engine when it is cold is normal, or at the very least mine does it as well and my FJR runs great. IMO

My daughter, very small for her age, has a TTR90 and I cut the seat down quite a bit so she could reach the ground better. One thing I did after I used the wifes eletric carving knife to get the approximate shape was I used a disk sander chucked up in a drill to literally smooth out the rough...

I replaced my stock set of roller bearings on my FJR when it had a grand total of 6000 miles. After countless Yamaha Dirt bikes and knowing how little grease is used during the build I figured why not. I also had the forks rebuilt at that time as well. Overall big improvement! It just seems as...

I have the Corbin seat as well and like it pretty well. That being said I never used the stock seat as I had my Corbin seat and smuggler before I had the bike delivered, and I've never used any other aftermarket seat either. I love the smuggler, really compliments the overall FJR looks. One...

And or Chains! Burning rubber and throwing sparks, fuck winter!
