11:04 LEAKS!!!

Brain used his phone call to do this voice over.

Love your videos, I just purchased an identical bike used! Pretty sure I'm going to add the decals and Trex upgrades as well

This was great thank you. I’m looking at picking these and the whole setup for my 2018.

Excellent step-by-step instructions! Thank you.

Brian you’re a genius. This video is so much better than the manufacturer’s! I was hoping I could send you a few bucks to buy you acup of coffee, since you probably saved me $200 or $300 at a dealership for this and the rear guards. Let me know if I can do that.

Great video Brian. My T-Rex FJR engine guards arrived today. I'm a lot more confident of installing them correctly after watching this a few times. I also watched your videos for my T-Rex luggage guards as well. These are so helpful. Thanks again.

Why doesn't anyone mention those protruding screws? Seems they would stop that foam from sliding into the side channel of the door. Those screws are from the hinges and they seem like they will be a problem.

Have you ever needed to remove the fairings? It seems to me the engine guards would have to be removed first. Is this correct?

Apparently that’s no longer an option when searching for a dealer.

Thanks for the video. It definitely would have taken a lot longer had it not been available. The vendors lacks detail and they definitely don't cover the problems with the installation. You did and I appreciate it You experienced it during your installation, tightening the nuts to specification. It's a pretty straightforward install if only they had increased the clearance by .5 cm. That little extra would have made this a straightforward install. Nobody should have to modify an allen wrench to use it. We shouldn't have to guess at torque because we can't use a torque wrench to torque it. It's disappointing. That issue you came across with the removable fairing panel. I had the same problem on the right side. However, because of a weld on the product I did have to modify the fairing so it would go on and off without frustration in the future. That's a quality control issue. I chose to modify the fairing rather than get a grinder out to smooth out an oversized bead. They're installed but to be honest if I had to take them off to do any engine work I don't know that I would put them back on. In hindsight, I should have just gone with my initial instinct, sliders and a crankcase cover protector.

Brian your videos are awesome and helped me so much with the installation of the trex engine and luggage guards.Thank you sooo much!

I have same shoes :)

for not being a mechanic you sure took every measure that a very experienced one wouldave. also thanks for the video. in the same process right now with my connie

Just purchased a 2023 FJR. How do you like these guards so far?

It'd be great if you added the link to the product or a manufacturer's website or name to the description

This vent is incorrect, you should never downsize a vent for a water heater.

You have to much oil in your motor

Can you paint those panels?

I just picked up an FJR1300 and ordered the engine/luggage/front axle kit from T-Rex. I'm pretty sure I can install on my own but have been a little intimidated by it. Thank you so much for putting this series together and sharing! It's helped me get a better idea of what the experience is going to be like (I might call in professionals for the engine guards because some of it looks kind of tricky, but think I can do the rest easily enough at home on my own).

Next…. Training wheels !

Nice video Sir. I really like how you scrolled as you moved through your thoughts. Never seen anyone use that style. Good on ya man. Enjoyed and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Good jod 😊 fjr1300 2007.? Tank you

You're not supposed to have any copper anywhere on a natural gas line, it should be all black iron.

Your gas union was leaking. You need to tighten it down using 2 wrenches.

Hallo!Super video! Wo kann ich das kaufen?

Are you still able to get the oil filter off without having to take the engine guard off

Great videos, thanks

Your hot water from the boiler should come into the sidearm from the top and run down, counter flow, to the cold coming from the bottom of the tanked heater. This is because heat exchange is more efficient at higher temp differentials, and if the rising dhw is already gaining temp, as it enters the side arm, efficiency would drop as it contacts the now nearly same water at the top of the boilers sidearm.

This was helpful, thank you. I was having trouble with the gas line.

One of the Rapala fillet knives freshly sharpened will cut that foam and leave a nice finished cut. Don't have one?? Try a 32 toothed naked hacksaw blade.

Very useful for my installation later.

Hi Brian, thanks for your clear demo and installation explanation. Enjoyed your video.

Thanks Brian. Purchased a 2021 FJR last week and this video helped me care for my investment. Followed all three of your very clear T-Rex install series the day after I brought it home.

Great video Brian. Very helpful and straight forward presentation.

I love my 2014 FJR, and yes...cruise control changed my life too! I know this is 3 yrs old and its a moot point, but it has a 9k rpm redline, not 8. Great first impression video.

T-shirt's too distracting. Really don't want to have silly religious views shoved down my throat when I'm watching bike reviews. Had to leave early as a result.

Thanks for the video’s. I used all your videos to install my luggage, engine and front sliders. Also used T rex instructions as a back up. Good product. A little pricey getting it shipped to Canada and duty and taxes. But it is what it is.

I don’t have the faster for the panel. It must of fell out. Trying to find the part number. Yamaha must sell a lot of these fasteners. Does anyone loose these fasteners. Or just me!lol!

the older gen where better with the 5 gear trans i think

Hello Brian, did you find the 2 bolts that holding the mufflers short or not? I installed mine but I do not like the bolts come too short like 3 mm. Where the bolt ends do not come out on the lock nut like the original bolts they come out a little, pass the lock nuts. It is holding it but I do not like it. I look at hardware stores for the same type of bolts but they do not have it. I contacted T-Rex racing, no one answers the phone, sent email no reply yet. It is frustrated.

Wow, I don't race but I'd really like these on an FJR

Do they make them for a Red 2014 FJR1300?

Thanks Brian, just received my crash bars, looked at the instructions they provided then scratched my head then found your video which helped me a lot. Thanks

your hot water supply from the boiler should enter the top of the sidearm exchanger

Your vid’s are confidence inspiring. We all love to ride., but we are not all wrenchers. You show that we don’t have to be mechanics., just competent. Thanks! 2006 FJR owner.

You could tape clear plastic over each section and still get the light, but still have a barrier from the cold.

AWESOME SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER BE ASHAMED.

Fantastic video

Waiting on these to be delivered as I type :D Thanks for the tips!
