These are nicely made, OEM Yamaha badged, FJR fit, fabric inner saddlebags. They were sold February 20th. Thanks for looking.

My dealer called me after lunch to let me know that the 2018 had been assembled and is out on the floor. So I drove over there to check it out. All of my FJRs have been Gen 2. I was impressed by what I perceived as greater cleverness in packaging for the 2018 compared to Gen 2. And, of course...

Restaurant Linderhof has long been one of my favorite German restaurants. The recipes are authentic and the ingredients are hand selected based on quality. It is a bit pricey, but there are items on the menu, like the large selection of sausages, that are modestly priced. As an example, I rode...

I am curious to have the impressions of serious long distance riders about possible lifetime mileage accumulations. I've seen results from various mileage contests over the years, and I've seen some BMW MOC numbers for lifetime accumulations, but I can't recall seeing anything from this group...

I have a set of official Yamaha Gen II bag liners, unused. I will ship them for $59.99 OTD if you live in CONUS. If you need other shipping, let me know and I'll spot you $15 toward the actual cost. PM me with questions or offers or to get my paypal address. I will ship within one business...

The other day I was looking for an Arai Corsair V in size L. Revzilla.com had already gotten rid of all of their size Ls. I should have been paying attention back in the early Summer when Arai decided to close out the Corsair V model. In any event, I mucked around with google and finally...

Rockingham Sport Cycle is a high volume dealer on the southeast side of Charlotte, NC. They have had a strong eBay presence for at least 8 years (my first experience with them was when a friend bought an ST1300 via fly and ride in 2008). I was recently looking at end of season deals on...

I recently couldn't resist the call of an end of season Kawasaki ZX1400R ABS SE. During delivery the service manager (who rides one as his daily commuter) kept telling me about using it for sport touring. Of course my preferred bike for actual sport touring is the FJR, and I bought this bike...

If you're traveling through Middle Tennessee and you are thinking about a gas stop, make the stop before you get within about 35 miles of Nashville from any direction. For the last 24 hours there has been panic buying in and around Nashville caused by fears of a short supply due to the repairs...

Yamaha part number ABA-20203-18. This is a tall and wide touring windshield, and an official Yamaha accessory for the Gen II FJR. It does not have any scratches. I also have the gasket, which is Yamaha part number 3P6-2838G-00. You do not need to install the gasket, but supposedly it will...

Left crankcase cover (generator cover) and gasket for Gen II FJR1300. Brand new. Not salvage take off parts. The Yamaha part numbers are 3P6-15411- 00 for the crankcase cover and 5JW-15451-11 for the gasket. The cost through MR Cycles is around $115. These are brand new and have never been...

II had two FJR 1300 AEs from October until yesterday. I am obsessive compulsive and try to make everything I own both complete, and as close to new as possible. I bought a set of body plugs for the '08, which I have now sold. If you have ever wanted to take the bags off your FJR, but weren't...

I picked up two FJR AEs last Fall. I bought the '08 at Cycle World in Gadsden, AL and there were some problems which have been described earlier on the FJR Forum. Eventually the '08 was sorted out through Cycle World's good efforts, and I've ridden it over the winter, and into the Spring. I...

To each his own. I started making friends of dealers from the age of 16. I'm not going to change after 49 years. This has been true for Hondas, Triumphs, BMWs, Suzukis, and Yamahas. I like to hang out and BS with the employees. It makes me feel young again, reminding me of those days when I...

I was sad to learn that Natalie Cole passed away from complications associated with her long battle with Hepatitis C, which came about due to her use of drugs at one time. She had a beautiful voice, perfect phrasing, and a wonderful sense of performance. We are listening to her album...

Amen. What were they thinking?

Others have commented that they like the Yamaha Touring windshield for the Gen 2 bikes. I installed one tonight, and my first impression is really very positive. It looks pretty streamlined, and as though it is a natural fit for the bike. Sitting next to another Gen 2 with the stock...

I recently acquired a Yamaha Touring Windshield. I was going to install it tonight, but when I pulled the OEM windshield, I noticed that there was a foam gasket between the windshield and the mounting surface. I went to the parts fiche, and sure enough, there is a part called "seat 1" (maybe...
