  1. Thanks guys. My bike started out RED, but I never really liked the color, so I painted it. I have a good friend that sent me the Colin Edwards Arai replica helmet, so I added the '5' to the bike also. I will probably leave it yellow for Yamaha's 60th anniversary and then re-paint it next year. I think a FJ would make a really cool Transfirmers or Batman themed bike. Just an idea, who knows.
  2. I don't usually ride with passengers and so I have taken off rear pegs. The stock rear seat is rather large, so I made a fiberglass seat cowl. I bought another rear seat, took off cover/padding and made a clay mild to lay the glass over. I removed the clay and now have a light weight fiberglass piece. The stock seat I installed a soft bag to and now can change between bags/no bags in seconds.
     
    If I were to do it again I would probably start with a cowl off another bike and modify to fit the seat base. The fiberglass process to a long time. I'm not an expert using it.
