    For Sale: Gen 2 Stock Front Seat

    Sold my '07 FJR several months ago and recently ran across a storage bin containing an extra stock front seat I had purchased off this forum in the event I needed the pan for a custom seat but ended up buying a Sargent seat off this forum and never used the spare stock seat. It is in excellent...

    For Sale: Vintage but New Yamaha OEM Magnetic Tank Bag

    Sold my '07 FJR several months ago and just recently ran across a storage bin containing a Yamaha OEM magnetic tank bag I had purchased new from a Canadian retailer (as they were not being sold in the US) about 8 or 9 years ago. It has NEVER been used. The provided straps still have the...

    SOLD - Well-farkled Black Cherry '07 FJR1300A - $5200

    Selling my baby - An '07 Black Cherry FJR1300A, 24,566 miles. It is in beautiful condition. It has never been dropped. I purchased this bike used in 7/2009 when a friend who was riding a BMW R1100RT persuaded me to get off my cruiser and try a sport touring bike. I have loved the FJR1300 and...

    Battery shelf life w/o acid added

    I need to get a new battery for one of my bikes and the vendor with the lowest price for the battery I want offers free shipping over $75 which is no problem as the battery I need is $92 but the battery on another bike is several years old and it's replacement would cost me $73 + $11 shipping...

    2 pin SAE power cord for iPod?

    I'm looking for something that might allow me to power my iPod from the 2-pin SAE already at the front of my bike for connecting a battery charger/maintainer. I found this one - https://www.selectsolar.co.uk/prod/315/2pin-sae-ipod-cable - but it is very short and I wish to keep my iPod in an...

    Engine stalling after AVCC install

    Went to test my newly installed AVCC CCs-100 and discovered a problem even before I could put the AVCC to the test. The bike starts and idles fine in a completely upright position but stalls when I lean it onto the kickstand at idle. I was initially being miserly with the amount of gas I put...

    AVCC install on '07 wiring questions

    I am going to PM FJRCarShopGuy with these questions as I've been using his installation instructions but saw that it had been several years since he last posted on this forum and I was afraid he wouldn't receive my message or respond. I'm in the middle of my install and want to minimize any...

    Yamaha Tuning Forks Wall Clock in US?

    I've seen pictures of a wall clock with the face being the Yamaha tuning forks logo but all the sites that appear to have it for sale are in Europe. I'd like to get one for my garage/man-cave. Does anyone know if there is a retailer in the US carrying these? Thanks

    G2 Throttle Tamer and OEM heated grips for '07?

    This may be a stupid question. I've been thinking about buying the OEM heated grips for my '07 FJR. I purchased the bike used and seem to recall that the previous owner had installed a G2 Throttle Tamer. Would this present a problem for installing the OEM heated grips?

    FZ1 mirrors

    I have seen mention of shorter bushings being available from Skyway in the past which would allow the FZ1 mirrors to fit gen II FJRs withouth leaving a small gap. I know that the stock bushings can be ground down to make them shorter I'd like to avoid doing that if I can . Since Skyway has gone...

    Connecting Hot Grips to OEM heated grip wiring

    Looking at some Hot Grips vs OEM heated grips and just wondering if by replacing the connectors on the wiring for the OEM heated grips it would be possible to use that wiring for Hot Grips rather than running new wires to my fused power blocK? Also, I don't know how/where the heat controller...

    G2 Ergo Throttle and Hot Grips

    I tried searching for this info but came up empty. Hard to believe the question hasn't come up before but, if it has, I couldn't find it. Will Hot Grips (or for that matter the OEM heated grips) work w/ the G2 Ergo throttle sizewise? What size Hot Grips would I need? Thanks

    Audiovox touchpad mount options?

    I was recently able to obtain one of the few remaining available Audiovox CCS-100 cruise control kits through murphskits.com. At the same time I ordered it, I also placed an order w/ Skyway for a left side mount for the touchpad. I was aware of some of the history re: Ian/Skyway and his not...

    Auxiliary light wiring question

    I'm planning of adding some auxiliary lights and like the idea of wiring them independent of other lights and being able to have them on in any combination w/ my low/high beams using a simple on/off SPST rocker switch in the empty left handlebar flash-to-pass button position. I've lost my...

    Fender bolt mount for auxiliary lights

    I've been looking at threads on auxiliary lights and have seen pictures of a fender bolt mount that was obtained from Cycle Gadgets but they no longer sell them. Cycle Gadgets provided me w/ the name of the supplier - Martin Fabrication - but I don't see that Martin Fabrication offers them...

    PCA Givi Topbox Rack, E250 Adapter Plate and PCA bacrest?

    I appreciate the replies I have received thus far to my earlier posts but none of them or the threads I have been referred to have answered my question. Perhaps my verbosity is hindering understanding of my question so I'll break it down: 1) Can the PCA Passenger Backrest be easily installed...

    PCA Givi Topbox Rack, E250 Adapter Plate and PCA bacrest?

    Hard to keep up w/ all the various versions of the PCA racks and backrests! I have a Givi E52 case w/ the Givi lights and have a question that an e-mail to/from and phone call to PCA still hasn't answered as definitively as I would like (Dan at PCA wasn't exactly sure). I am looking at both...

    Anyone offering Audiovox CC install in midwest?

    I recently purchased a used '07 FJR1300A and am interested in getting the Audiovox CCS 100 cruise control installed. Even though I am not easily intimidated - with clear instructions and enough pictures I'll tackle most things - I have read enough threads to convince me that I don't want to do...

    G2 Ergo Throttle Tube, Grip Puppies and Throttlemeister

    Similar to some recently asked questions, I recently purchased a used '07 FJR A that has the G2 Ergo Throttle Tube already installed. It appears that the stock rubber grips were replaced over the tube if that is possible. I have 2 questions: 1) Can I place a Throttlemeister on the end of the bar...

    Help w/ used FJR purchase decision, please
