@root @mluciani Yes, correct, I was talking about the UNPAINTED ones. BTW, The 2016 FJs are gloss black and a lighter silver/blue wheels.

So I finally got a call back from Corporate. He said (oddly enough) that the FJR bags are manufactured in Europe and that they have definitely been disco'd. I told him how popular these are and he warned me about loading weight, blah, blah, and I said something along the lines of, "maybe they'll be popular for the FJR if they were available again." Anyways, no more. I'm kinda deflated; I've been looking for them for months. Now to shop for some Shad or Givi. What pisses me off is that the wife's Versys 650 was almost $4k cheaper and came with matched bags that hold my large HJC with a Sena 20S no prob. Yamaha has a serious accessories problem.

OK, so in the US these things are completely discontinued (the unpainted ones). I was on the phone with them for a bit and I got transferred to NA Corp parts guy. He says they don't do a direct FJR-to-FJ p/n "match" because of the weight issues and that he could not recommend them. I told him I don't care and that these things are in strong demand and I don't really care what bike they classify them under. It's either Yamaha or aftermarket bags. He's going to get back to me this week tell me what's going on with these. BYW, I also strongly suggested they offer cruise (again) to make this sport-tourer a little more tourer.
