I installed some LED driving lights on an Adventureteck bracket, grip heaters and a volt meter. The grip heater control and volt meter were mounted to a bracket I fabbed up and covered with faux carbon fiber vinyl wrap

It does look like a good deal, but all the other Yamaha service manuals I have don't have a color picture on the cover and they aren't bound like the one in the picture.

That's weird, my official manual has the same front cover, except is has the year (2015) under the FJ-09 text top right corner. Mine also has a different left edging, so not sure if this is official or some kind of knock-off.

To me, the left edging on the other manual is some type of binder. A binder would be used if you were to make a copy of an original. 

is it weird that there's no year number on the cover of this manual?

its only about $50 with shipping inside the US, so its quite a deal if its legit.

I just got mine from the same place, VERY high quality manual.  If it isn't legit then they did a fantastic job making it appear as if it is.

I had a Palmer bracket for my Triumph Tiger and it worked great. I was considering one for my FJ 09, until I spaced out my Ermax sport screen.

I have since tried 1" spacers over 1/2" spacers and found even more improvement.

I broke the 100 mile mark, but ordered some different handlebars, grips, and handguards. These will go with the rear rack I already ordered.
