The + 4 inch windscreen came with the bike, I don't know where the previous owner got it.

 

Most FJR riders agree that this is the best screen money can buy

 

http://www.rifle.com/stores/showdetl.cfm?&...ment_Windshield

 

It has a block that adjusts the windscreen to a better angle

 

CeeBailys also produce many FJR screens.

The Ceebaileys' Wind shield is sumthing like the Givi wind shield bought by Capriexx horr????

 

Also go a "flip" at the top end of the screen about 3" taller and wider at the sides compared to the orginal windscreen...

 

The Rifle windscreen lookz juz like the normal hor??? the Sporty Version looks not bad..... but how is the Tuning block installed?????

 

It actualli changed the original design position for the windscreen.. dunnoe safe or not.....

 

Easy rider.... which is ya wind screen??? got picture??

No lah, just the standard tools

They don't even give the oil filter wrench, you expect them to give you a tire repair kit?

Parked my bike at Cairnhill carpark this evening when I went for class.

When I returned 3hr later, saw my boxes were pried opened.

Someone stole my Arai helmet and rain coat.

Luckily he was not interested in my MHR spare helmet.

 

Helmet was almost 2 years old but still good condition.

Rain coat was starting to leak liao.

 

Now I've to get the box fixed.

 

Go to SKM is it? Anyone know how much?

The grey open-face.

Not the black full-face.

Ledge broken liao cannot lock anymore.

That's why must repair.

[ashenZ]

I hope apart from the lock the boxes weren't damaged. A real pity for something so new. I'd love to yank a philips up the thief's rear... Wonder if the CAT3 alarm was installed would you still face this sh*t...

lesson learnt:

never put expensive helmets in ur box........ happened to my friend on his fazer6 also.... RAMII got stolen.... imagine everyday go work, remove arai then put in box.... sure got pple monitor and follow u.

 

 

moral of the story:

wear cheapo helmet if u wanna put in box.

 

 

recommendations

get urself an alarm for the bike?

 

 

bro

[FJRRider]

Can :-)

 

Dun put them on.... :cheeky:

 

Anyone manage to find a place where they can squeeze a raincoat/pants in their bike? I am seriously thinking of not fixing any box at all unless I got touring...

 

On another note: Anyone want to buy a custom frame for FJR rearbox plus a Hepco and Becker 40 L box? I'm thinking of selling mine... PM me wif offers.
