[QUOTE="user 213, post: 1392710, member: 213"] Back in the Gen I days we would put FZ-1 mirrors on since they had a longer arm and were exact fitment. Hasn't someone found a similar Yamaha mirror swap for the newer Gen bikes yet? I think Fred is on to something. R&D money spent on shaving a significant amount of weight would pay for itself a lot more than another electronic add on. A tough project though. A smaller engine and a turbo might give equal or better power with weigh reduction of the bike. But the turbo would have to be as seamless as the OEM auto ones have become, w/o dumping heat on the rider, in order to sell well. Consider the cost of what you can easily add yourself, Vs how much more you would pay for the bike new, when making your lists. Even better, what existing Yamaha parts bin items would you like to see on the FJR? A bunch of R1 stuff makes it to the FJR in the next Gen. I wonder what else is there that the FJR would benefit from and already exists in the system? [/QUOTE]
