FJR specific Christmas presents?

[Redfish Hunter]

I struggled a bit with where to put this thread. I first thought Parts and Accessories or possibly FJR specific. Then I remembered who I was dealing with. Maybe putting it here will save us all from Rule 10.

I will make it simple. If your son/daughter/wife/significant other were to attempt to buy you a gift related to your FJR, what would you want? New gloves? New boots? Yamaha Spray Detailer? Or, a new Cee Bailey +4 +4 reverse contour light tint windshield? Be realistic and reasonable.

Dear Santa,

How about if I keep the Clearwater Kristas and we just replace everything else with a 2014? I'll park it right next to the Christmas tree so you can find it quickly. Can I ask a dumb question? How ya gonna get it up the chimney?

Tires! That'll give you a reason to wear out the old ones.

This is the first year since I bought ny FJR that I don't have at least one item on my Christmas list for the bike. I was planning to ask for a new radar detector, but my wife just bought me one for my car, so I didn't want to be greedy.

Things from past year's lists:

GPS

Radar Detector

Givi top box

brake pads

spark plugs

tire changing tools

oil and filter

mounting brackets GPS and radar detector

Ampli Rider

Aux lights

Gloves

...

Lots more that I can't think of right now

None of it takes up seat space, but the stuff on the dash shelf does block my view of the instruments.

 

[HotRodZilla]

I want a tire "machine." Can be any of the models, but I want it complete, so I can do my own tires. Oh and a lift. I'll store it under the Expedition so it's out of the way.

Either that, or a nice Yamaha WR450 to do the dirty work the FJR doesn't like doing.

 

[Panman]

A couple of dozen month long garage passes would do!

I always thought that Christmas was for things other than oil, tires, etc....how about this:
