After 3 years and a bunch of smiles, I've sold my 2008 FJR1300. I did a write up on some stuff here: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=131094 I'll miss it...but economic and time considerations led to it's sale. I've really appreciated the help and info I've gotten here over...

I've been away for a while...new job has been keeping me busy... The tank cover is made by Bagster. The only place to order one that I'm aware of is from Ride Addict. Also, when you order it be prepared to wait about 5 months for it to arrive. No shit. The factory is France is in no hurry...

Not 100% sure as I did not wire mine to the horns. If you still need help, contact Clearwater or RocketMoto on the ADVrider forum and they'll get you set up. Be sure to post some pictures when you're done. I'm really curious to see how the 2 sets look.

A Joe Rocket Dry-Tech Nano jacket just showed up from Santa along with Olympia Ranger 2 pants. Life is good.

I've been very happy with the Yamaha factory heated grips. They work great .1 volt off of the Datel at full tilt. Got them here: https://www.stadiumyamaha.com/pages/catalogs/detail/26/209/408/4148/1/0/0/1/4/4/5335/62169/grip-warmer-kit.aspx $327.56

Hey everyone... I just heard from a forum member that they hadn't received an email with ordering instructions. If you haven't received an email, please email me at [email protected] An email will go straight to my phone and I'll ensure you are taken care of. Cheers!

You're welcome. As an aside, for those of you who ordered please be sure to post up pictures and your impressions when they arrive. Cheers!

Hi all- Thanks to everyone who participated in the Group Buy. Everyone should receive an email shortly which contains ordering instructions. Thanks again for participating and making this a success. Cheers!

Hi everyone- Thanks to everyone for your response to this Group Buy. Also, a big thanks to Glenn for offering this to the FJR forum community. I'll iron out all of the final details with Glenn and Lorett @ Clearwater in the next day or two and send everyone an email detailing how to place your...

I was a little concerned when I first bought my FJR about the temps and would obsess where the gauge was. Normal for my Gen2 is 4 bars at speed, 5 for anything under 30mph for more than 5 minutes, and the fan will cycle on & off in traffic. As far as the heat on your ankles is concerned, you're...

+1 to never being "done". There's always just one more thing that would make the bike complete. I just have to convince the wife that the bike is never really done. Kind of like her shoe collection. :D

Ok everyone...last day! If you were on the fence trying to decide, now's the time. Thanks to everyone who has already placed an order. You'll receive an email in the next day or so with ordering instructions. Cheers!

Thanks, Mike. I was going to give this thread a quick bump to remind everyone that there are only a couple of days left. The vast majority of the orders have come from folks right here on this forum but activity has picked up a bunch from my cross-post at ADVrider in the last couple of days...

I've had very good luck with my CalSci large. I'm 6 feet even. In the low position the windblast hits me about neck level and up it's a cone of silence. Keep in mind that which size screen will work for you will depend on how tall you are and what your preferences are as it concerns how much...

You're in! And thanks for the link on your ride report.
