Sorry yes gen2.

Excellent condition. Doesn't look like they have ever been used. I don't need them.

I purchased this from another forum member at the beginning of the year, but found another solution that works fine, so passing it on. 25" tall X 20" wide at bottom X 17" wide at top. It is in excellent condition with no visible damage.

Not mine, but good deal! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/mpo/d/san-jose-side-luggage-bags-yamaha/7756797199.html

Is it this one?: https://www.fjrowners.com/threads/city-bags-for-sale.159372/?post_id=1380856#post-1380856

Thanks @SkooterG and @kdclaiborne for verifying this. Guess there must be some "play" in the system so it can move around without coming apart! Grease in there did not seem to be in too bad shape, but the bike is 15+ years old, so inspection and regreasing was a good idea anyway.

To hopefully provide something useful for the text person who "slings" ther FJR, here is a video on how to release a ratchet strap gently:

I installed a Penske shock last week, and while doing it found that with all but the top bolt installed that the relay arm rocks back and forth. I slinged the bike with straps, took off the centerstand (grinding off the two bottom bolts) to gain access to get the top relay arm bolt out. I...

I bought a cheap Amazon screen extender just to try it. Turns out it works really well, so it has been there for about a year now.

Sold to ScooterG.

Thanks John that's very generous of you! Not sure where the SEOH Ramble is or that I will be there though, as I live in San Diego.

Thanks good to know it could last a while. I may also buy an 850# spring if the 900 is too stiff.

This forum is an awesome place! Thanks to all! I really appreciate @escapefjrtist and @BkerChuck for their assistance!

I called Penske this morning, and am going to send the shock to them. They advised that the 900# spring is a good starting point. This is based on 20 extra lbs of gear (mainly crash bars), my weight of 200#, and solo touring load (about 1/4 of the time) of extra 50lbs. They also stated that...

I bought this stock 2015 "A" model shock from another forum member to upgrade my gen 2 shock, but ended up with an aftermarket shock, so don't need this one. From his post: No leaks, works just fine. 17K miles on it. $150 + shipping.

It will be opposite in my case. I will be having the shock built for just me, as most of my riding is solo. Going to talk with Penske Monday. Their table shows me right on the 850#-900# border for the spring, so will probably stay with the 900# spring, but see what they recommend.

So Chuck with the heavier spring how does it perform not riding two-up? Do you adjust it between solo and two-up riding? The thing that bothered me about Traxxion is that Dan said that I should be on an 800# spring, but the penske chart shows I should be using a 900# (which is what is on...

Thanks for advice on sag. I downloaded the manual for the shock from the Penske website so hopefully it will be a straightforward procedure. I may contact Penske for the rebuild based on your recommendation. Regarding raising the ride height with the shock... I already have the rear raised...

Thanks good to know that the shock arrives ready to go. I guess it's a good idea to at least check sag after installation.

Thank you very much for the replies! Now that I know what shock I have (thanks eacapefjrtist), I will download the manual from Penske for more information and to set it up. Thanks for the suggestion BkerChuck about going straight to Penske for the rebuild. I may reach out to them. That...
