Have the same problem. Was quoted $300 to have a stock seat nose job and some foam cut away to lower it. If I may ask, "what does a new custom seat go for? 2013 FJR.

I contacted him regarding doing a nose job and cutting away a little foam to lower my seat and my seat. Quoted me $300! I have not shopped it around but that seems a bit steep....

huron52, did you install those yourself. I checked the link; looks pretty simple?

Fred, obviously I was not aware of the South Park reference (I have never watched that show). If you have a Sponge Bob Square Pants reference I will be out of the loop on that one too. I was not personnally attacking you and I am not defending Harleys. I sold mine to ride a better bike (the...

Harley Fags? Really? Guess brains nor class ?

With all the knowlegde and experience in this forum (plus the fact that so many of you love to write on and on) perhaps an overwhelming stack of "Letters to the Editor" are in line.

I don't know what to think, I'm told the high pitch noise is normal (CA emmissions box) hose was off from the day I picked it up. So he found it off doing the TBS. Says the bike should have had that noise from the beginning. Good advice though, I'm still going to lift the tank and just verify...

Congrats--from an old Harley laid back rider. I'm only 5'7'' and I adjusted the bars all the way back, still not quite enough, added the 1" Heli-risers and now its almost perfect. Like garyahouse, you do get used to the different ergo. I'm guessing being taller you have the seat on the "high"...

Appoint for Monday AM will post results.

This is odd, I changed oils around 600 miles, but thought it wise to have a completed "initial service" so I took bike to dealership to do throttle sync. (I will do my own next time at $135 bucks). Anyway, on the way home I'm hearing this high pitch noise that seems to change a bit with...

Just received my highway pegs and custom fit backrest (cut to fit the Givi support). Pegs fit perfect, great finish and color match. My wife loves the backrest which also looks great.

This has likely been posted, but I was having the same thoughts about which filter to use, best oil, etc. Can't believe everything you read (even here) but this is worth reading.... https://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/FilterXRef.html https://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Consumables.html#Oil

Just a new guys thoughts; as a long time rider, but a new person living in CA--until I moved here I had never heard of lane splitting or lane sharing. (It's not one of those things you would typically read up on when visiting while riding). 00 A few weeks ago I was driving in an auto, a guy on...

Clearwater installed mine a few weeks ago and took tons of photos for their website, have you looked there?

Actually I am, one more speeding ticket and its no license!

Yep there's a crack just waiting to happen!

Have any other new owners filled out/answered the Yamaha survey? I just sent mine in and I also called voicing concerns about the design and lack of options for a tour top case for the FJR. I mentioned there were numerous concerns about weight restrictions and the cracking that people have been...

Maybe he meant to say, wow those are nice lights! As a side note, I take it your front fender is NOT stock? Mine looks way different.

Pseudo-Fed,I only have 500 miles on my '13 but, the temp readings do NOT jump around like that. They flux 2-3 degrees with the up and downshift of the gears, then get steady as the mph becomes constant. If mine were acting like yours I would not think it was normal!
