New design clutch cable. Old one breaks early. Oil pan drain bolt mod. If you bottom out on something it cracks the oil pan. Under seat storage area. Cut the wall out for more room. Manual cam chain tensioner. ECU flash. Almost mandatory on 15. Successive years got better. Then the usual windscreen, suspension, seat, etc. to taste. BTW I lived in Lenexa KS when I was a kid.

Literally no wind screen is quieter with less buffeting than OE. And the pumpkins. I hate the pumpkins. I hated the pumpkins in 2008 on my last Yamaha. Get rid of the pumpkins and get some LEDs.

peteinpa Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I don't mind the pumpkins. They're very visible from the front, and give a wider stance to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryBud Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) THe seller did a pretty good job of setting the bike up it has: Madstag Screen / Brackets New Clutch Cable It's been flashed by some outfit in Wash State FJR Saddlebags with a professional Paint Match ( with luggage inserts ) Braided Steel brake lines all around Electronic Cruise ( works Great! ) Front fender color match painted an extended OEM Tail Box Bracket / Rack. I really miss a tail box for the misc stuff ( water, gloves, wallet, etc., etc ) I'm trying to decide between a oem box or just getting a little soft bag for the tail and getting use to the side bags. They work fine but need the key and are a little less convenient than having it on the tail. I changed the oil last night and have an appointment for new shoes next week. I'm thinking about a new saddle. I'm only good for about 45 minutes on the stock seat before it starts to come to my attention.

peteinpa Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) It does look well set up. I didn't see the drain bolt mod. A simple speed bump can dump your oil. Edited April 29, 2021 by peteinpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryBud Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Doh! I just changed the oil last night. I suppose I could catch it and pour it back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
