For Sale – Loaded 2006 FJR1300A 29k miles $4,500 Reluctantly selling the best bike I’ve ever owned. My FJR is heavily farkled and setup for LD riding. It has never been down but has the usual little nicks you’d expect from a bike that’s been ridden. Pics to follow ASAP. I am able to help...

If you've followed along with this thread, you'll know I've gone through a series of cheap a$$ HID components and have now moved on to a very high quality setup that works really well with the FJR. The vendor I got these from is more focused on selling to the BMW crowd so I've decided to offer...

I'm thinking this new Bandit would be a hoot to ride if we could get it here in the US:

I just picked up a used set of 905 bars from a forum member. Love 'em! However, he never received the plastic end caps for the top mounts. Can someone please describe them in more detail so I can look for a substitute? What size are they? How do they secure to the bar, etc.? TIA.

I've got a set of these on order for delivery on 9/2: Problem is I need to mount my tires right freakin' now! If anyone has a set they aren't using or knows of a local source, please let me know. TIA.

If you like the look of the tank cover but prefer the real deal on the logo, check this out: If you've ordered a non-embroidered tank cover, we can add this logo for $20 (plus shipping). You can even order your cover and have it shipped to us for the logo and then we'll send it on to you...

Looking to gauge interest in tee shirts with the FJR logo to add to the hats and polo shirts already available. NOTE: Vote for as many shirt styles as you like but only one pocket/no pocket vote please.

EDIT 28-JUL-09 UPDATE - If there is interest, the color in the logo circle can be custom done to match your bike (though black wouldn't show on the dark hats) Please visit my website for direct ordering: https://sporttouring.promoshop.com NOTE: The site is up and taking orders but it is a...

I'm closing in on 200k miles of lifetime riding (started very late :rolleyes: ) but last night was my first experience with losing a tire at speed. :o I was heading home from yet another late-night fix of some crisis or another at my mother in law's house when I started smelling burning...

All, I'm leaving very soon for a trip to the hill country in Tejas (known for rough chip sealed roads). I just noticed my rear Avon Storm has a slow leak (about 5-8 psi a day). The tire is just starting to show a bit of wear at 2,500 miles and has lots of life left. In the short time I have...

I'd been toying with the idea of picking up a nice /6 or /7 to futz around on when out of the blue my brother calls from Kansas and says his neighbor has an old BMW and wants to get rid of it. It's a '91 with 75k miles. Hadn't been ridden in a year. I called a couple of folks to get an idea...

I've been riding with my Cal-Sci for a few thousand miles now. On my recent long haul back from Big Bend, I determined that while MUCHO better than stock, the Cal-Sci could be a bit cleaner with respect to helmet buffeting. I decided to give the Vstream a try to se which I like better. The...

We had a great little ride down to the Bend this week. Windy but otherwise perfect weather. So many great roads. If you've never been to Big Bend National Park, I highly recommend it. I also learned why the FJR really doesn't need a 6th gear. Sustained 100+ running reveals an entirely...

I'm finally getting around to trying the H4 Bi-Xenon kits that I've used to great success in the past on my '06 FJR. These are the type that use a single HID capsule to be both the low and high beam by physically re-positioning it within the headlight housing using a servo. Unlike the...

Looking for a Mitch Roberts from Bremerton, WA Anyone know of him?

I ordered Staintune cans for my '06A from exoticsportbike.com today. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: I'll post a report with photos here next week for those that might be interested. They were $90 cheaper than anyone else that had them in stock.

I picked up a dent in my right muffler in Ark last month which has inspired me to move quickly on my purchase of some slip-ons. I'm sensitive to the increase in noise and would love to hear any of the FJR muffler options first hand. Anyone in the DFW area with aftermarket pipes I could listen...

I had my first service experience with a Yamaha dealer today and it was a good one. When I determined that my '06 had the 17 mpg bug, I called Stadium on the advice of a friend and asked if they would do the repair. They knew about the TSB, verified my VIN was in the affected range, and then...

Well, I finally caved and sent my risers back to Doug per his wishes. I loved those things so much I was willing to take a chance but his latest letter convinced me he's really worried about them so I took them off the bike. The Heli's design leaves me cold so I'm hoping for a true riser...

I think it was WC that indicated that a Powerlet socket could be put near the battery on the '06 but had to be placed so as to fit exactly between the new fuse panels. I did this mod today along with adding the hard wires for my heat troller and GPS. You do have to be very careful in placement...
