I am curious about what bag-related decisions have been made by those coming from an FJR to the FJ. Did you sell the FJR without bags and use them on the new bike? Did you switch to the FJ bags or an aftermarket setup? I have a 2004 FJR that is probably worth somewhere in the area of $4,000. With the new bags costing roughly $800 that represents 20% of the value of the FJR! Of course, it is likely that the FJR without the bags would sell for less than it would with them. That is the trade-off that I am trying to quantify.

Thanks all for the timely and useful information.   My Powerlet outlets on the current bike are BMW-style but converting the plugs on ends of wires is pretty simple (that's how they all became BMW-style in the first place!).

Moderators, if this thread should be in the garage area feel free to move it.
 
I went and saw my first FJ-09 the other day.  Nice bike.  When I asked about the power outlet the sales person said that one was available as an extra.  The Yamaha coporate site says that the outlet is standard on the FJ-09 and at least one reviewer mentions that there are two outlets near the LCD display.  Does anyone know the true story about the outlet(s)?  Also, is it the US or BMW style plug?  Thanks.
