Glad you did wear a helmet and didn't brake any bones or got a concussion. Kind of reminds me of my childhood. The only difference is back than I'd be back on the bike in few hours and now I'd be sore and achy for two weeks or so.
Gen II AE has the afterthought shift actuator arm going right in front of the air filter cover. That thing is such a XXX to take off and out that it is actually worth to consider taking the whole air box out for that purpose. I doesn't take that much time and saves a lot of frustration.
I'd say you're underpricing it. I traded in mine a week ago for that much, 2006 AE with 79000 miles, pretty much stock because anything of value or use I took off. It was no garage queen either.
Well, long story short, the continuous struggle with keeping my FJR as it should be cost me most of the summer riding season and enough money and frustration that I decided to trade it in. Since last Friday I'm an owner of 2014 V-Strom 1000.
Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T31 GT Front Motorcycle Tire 120/70ZR-17 (58W), new, never mounted. Was supposed to go on the bike this summer but... Made 25/18. I would rather avoid shipping at this time, $80 for local pickup...
My bike is gone and so needs to go the seat. I'm 6-0 and 190#, it fits me great, by far the best seat out there. No damages, rips or tears, looks pretty much new. $300 with local pickup or plus shipping.

I had to cancel my booking... My FJR just isn't there anymore ready to ride... Every time I think I have it fixed something new shows up and the total costs just add up so badly I'm forced to pass on this fine event... Not the summer I was expecting with my bike at all...
On the good side -...
