I bought these last year thinking they would solve some back issues I was having. Never did install them, my back problem was solved with an epidural steroid shot. I paid $69 including shipping to FZSex for them. I'd like to get my money back. Shipping overseas would be extra...
I traded mine in on this 06 VFR.
I wanted something that would tour better, and give me the storage. Plus I just love single-sided swingarms. The V4 is an absolutely awesome motor.
It's been a year since I put mine on, also purchased from PJ's. I do remember I slipped 2 of the rubber bushings over a screwdriver and turned them down a little on my bench grinder. Everything's held fine for 7000+ miles, and I've gotten several compliments on them.
No pictures, but at least its good news. I'm just hoping they're planning on selling them in the US. I'm interested in seeing the Super Tenere too.

I always flash my brakes when I see a car coming up to me at a stop. But I will put it in neutral when there are cars stopped behind me.
I'm not sure I would be able to accelerate quickly away if I saw someone coming up quickly behind me. Damn finicky clutch gives me enough trouble as it...
I stalled the bike constantly when I first got it. I finally ordered some ASV adjustable levers and rarely stall it now. I think with the stock levers the friction zone just wasn't in the right place for me when I let out the clutch, if that makes sense.
When I was living down there many years ago, I asked one of the guys I was working with if he was going to be giving out treats that night for the little trick-or-treaters. He said it was a 'bloody Yank holiday' and he wasn't going to bother with it as he had plans for the night. I told him he...
I agree with you Scooby - I would love an FJR, but I really like my 6 and I'm not ready to part with it. Maybe I'll just wait till the 2011's come out - I don't like the color of the 2010's.
Don't I wish. Last week I got absolutely drenched on my 30 mile commute, and today I sweated my butt of in traffic jams. :(
I always wear all my gear, except sometimes in the evenings my wife and I will go riding without our overpants. I see about 50% + of the sportbikes wearing at least a...
My bike began doing that when I would go to downshift. I finally decided that it was an idle speed issue. It only occurred when I had been riding for a while so the bike was warmed up. At home I could rev it to around 7 - 8K and it would die as soon as I shut the throttle. I had to turn my...
