    Steering Head Roller Bearing - Upgrade or Boondoogle?

    Givi 58 Top Box

    I’ve run v47, v56, and trekker 58l’s under all sorts of conditions. No issues.

    FJR in the Barber Motorsports museum ?

    Paul Pelland’s former FJR was on display there for quite some time. Thought it still was.

    Luggage Rack/Plate

    I’d use a Givi sr357 and their metal top plate, which is similar to the one you show, but with additional slots for even more strapping opportunities.

    Options are food. Thankfully, the fjr is still available. But I still get a lazy eye for other platforms.

    FJR1300 To Be Retired

    Mine came in sooner than expected. But it still took a few months. I used Yamaha city cases in the mean time.

    Long-Distance Endurance MT10 Project

    Is a FJR a money thing?

    Quite the opposite. I ride quite bit. My BMW broke down often,and didn’t have the reliability, parts availability, or repair shop saturation I required. If I were to go back to BMW, I’d have to have a second sport tourer as a backup, and know a guy on standby with a trailer. If reliability...

    Headlight Modulator suggestions

    Is D&H Cycle in Cullman, AL still in business?

    The new owners sell YES warranty for $100 over what the old owners did. Which still beats almost any other deal.

    Fatter Grips

    I don’t care for grip puppies. I prefer grip buddies. But I think the OD on puppies is a little larger.

    What is the worst thing you have seen a cager do?

    Update/resolved & thx. —> Tire mount / balance weight(s) question

    Mirror Extensions

    The sw motech extenders are superb. If they worked with my clearwater light mounts, I’d still be using them. They are availble form purchase from sw motech.

    My experiment with BMW has taken a downturn

    That matches my experience with bmw. That’s what drove me to Yamaha.
