New guy with a new to me FJR

[fontanaman]

I'm not sure what accessories I might need. Keep in mind I have been riding a 79 xs1100 for the past 10 years or so. What the bike has now is night and day compared to what I'm used to. One thing I think I do want is bar risers and some case guards.

I will get out there and check for the leak this morning Ivan. Bummed because I was planning on riding it for work today.

As far as beer, how much will it carry? Very important question, some of the assholes I ride with drink alot.

Welcome to the forum.

If the guys you ride with aren't assholes, you need to find a new crew. If you're not asshole enough to laugh at the guys using spray on road grime for their trailer queens, you're missing out on a lot of fun.

Just saying.

You won't need any accessories but if you hang around the rest of the clowns here you will be broke in no time buying shit you didn't even know you needed and tearing apart a perfectly good bike to grease some unseen spline that even Yamaha didn't think needed grease.

Welcome to the forum! I hope to meet up with you some day.

True this.

But go buy some plexus, right angle valve stems, tinted windows screen, fender extenders, reflective decals, disk lock, flashy aux brake lights, super loud fog horn, heated pegs, 4,000,000 candella driving lights, slipper clutch mods, titanium exhaust, power commander, throttle Meister, mirror extenders, bar risers, kick stand height adjuster, adjustable dog bones, block off plates, throttle tamer, aux fuse block, and of course a custom fit bike cover…because you "need" them.

Yeah. Need…

Dang Silverback, there is more truth than humor in your statement, and it hurts. I've purchased 15 of the 23 items you've listed with the assistance of this forum.

By the way where does a guy get a set of those heated pegs?

Kevin, when in doubt...JC Whitney.

Uh...I hate to be rude but his bike is an '08. He won't need the Power Commander or the throttle tamer.


While I was never a fan of the AE I did love the color of the '08 AE. That Charcoal Gray looks very good on that bike. Yours is in beautiful shape. Welcome to the forum.
