OOPS, I guess I will only upgrading one side this time around! Thanks Dan C. for the correction! :rolleyes: And to answer your question, I have NOT yet received them.

I ordered from Partzilla: 43215-KZ4-J41 PIN, HANGER (Honda) https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/43215-KZ4-J41

Yes, get supplemental insurance, which will cap the deductible amount that you have to pay if you have a major illness. I chose a plan that costs me ZERO dollars per month!

@Pmatty Welcome from MinneSNOWta! If you do decide to go with a Russel Day Long, here's a photo of my FJR with a Givi Top Box (and rack) and the Russel Day Long seat. Notice the deep dish for the passenger. Very comfy.

I performed the relay arm lubrication last year and while I had everything apart, lubed the U-joint. I was surprised at how dry the U-joint was at 40K miles. YMMV
