T-Rex Racing side case guards installed on the 2018 Yamaha FJR1300ES

[@Patrik_76]

Thanks for sharing, I am really looking forward to owning the FJR myself and the mods videos are golden for me.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir, good luck and stay safe out there... :)

[@nuncaviisso]

Gorgeous bike sir! FJR is on my wishlist.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

good to hear from you sir... I hope you gets yours soon.... thanks for watching... :)

1- How have these guards worked out for your passengers? 2- In the beginning of the video, it showed you putting a cruise control on the FJR. How well does it work and what brand is it?

[@KJfav]

What do u use to clean the bike?

[@harley103-15]

I ride a 2015 Harley Street Glide and really thinking about dealing it on a 2020 FJR 1300 in that beautiful blue. You have an awesome looking bike.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir. Good luck and keep safe out there... :)

[@Jay_Hall]

How much weight is saved on the FJR with all bag's removed? Thanks.

[@klh3244]

That is a good looking bike John! I am a Harley-Davidson guy and I have a V Strom for my adventure bike. Good job and stay safe!

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Thanks for watching sir... :)

I like the extra guards. The company has the Gen 2 version (2006-2012) listed on the Gen 1 page and shows having to buy axle sliders with them. Those would look good on my liquid silver 2010 if I get them painted silver. Only the best for our trusty FJR's. BTW, Partshark has good prices on the panniers. Don't ask me how I know.

[@stevencollister2539]

I bought the T-Rex Pannier guards and the T-Rex Engine guards for my 2006 FJR 1300 AE. The Pannier guards went on in 15 minutes. The engine guards already had sliders mounter on them (some kind of tough polymer). The powder coating is identical and they're all high quality. My problem is that I can't figure out how to get the cage guards on. There's something tricky with the faring. I've watched the T-Rex videos but I have to keep working on it. I will say that the construction of the 2006 is different from his 2018 and my 2006 was easier. I have to give a shout out to Pirate's Lair Motorcycle Accessories for their Stealth passenger backrest. ;> He's right about the footrests being uncomfortable with the cages on.....I'll have to solve for that. I've always had Hondas and you can always find a lot of aftermarket items for them (and Harleys). Not so many with the Yamaha FJR. .....but it's a great bike and much more exciting than my VTX 1800 was.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to here from you sir, I will check out Partshark. I thank you for watching... keep safe out there... :)

[@stephencolman563]

I have a 2002 fjr & finding it hard to find engine bars. Love your fjr

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Thanks for watching sir, good luck with the engine cages.. keep safe... :)

[@kennyeary5835]

Great bike john and videos,iv just purchased an FJR,and being a bit short in the leg,did your corbin seat make it easier to flat foot the ground??

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Great to hear from you sir, I do not believe the Corbin seat made much difference as far as seat height goes but was much more comfortable on long days in the saddle... congrats on your new ride and thanks for watching... :)

[@philliplivingstone5336]

Great idea and product - thanks for showing. Awesome bike!!!

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

thanks for watching sir... keep safe... :)

[@harley103-15]

Very nice looking bike, is the blue stripe on the wheels stock?

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir, I hope you get yourself a FJR soon. The wheels don't come with the stripes, I added those myself. You can check out how to do that here.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJC1m4poipeGaKc Thanks for watching and keep safe out there... :)

[@cconrey3401]

Installed their guards on my Versys 1K. Not obtrusive but extend just enough to protect paneers.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Thanks for watching sir... :)

[@motorcycleden]

Those look very nice! Could've used them a couple years ago when I dropped our fjr.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Yes, I needed them a month ago as well.... thanks for watching... keep safe.. :)

[@brianyoung4863]

Nice. Question why does your corbin seat look sorta grey.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Hello sir, Thanks for watching. The seat is a marbled grey color... keep safe.. :)

[@highsnburgers4862]

Didn't hurt the beauty of your FJR.

[@robertkruppenbach4791]

I just found your channel. Do the legs work well on the front Canyon Cages? I am thinking about getting some T-Rex front cages to mount some highway pegs on. Thanks

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Hello sir, yes the foot pegs give good relief on long days. I hope they will mount up ok on the T-Rex cages as well. thanks for watching and keep safe out there.... :)

[@robertkruppenbach4791]

@@ozarksbackroads5484 Thanks!

[@raghnallmacaodh3220]

best investment I made for my '07 FJR

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir, yes protection is always a wise investment... thanks for watching... :)

[@danielweatherford3243]

I had a set of. Canyon cages front and rear about 2 weeks after I purchased my 2013 FJR.

[@joemilich]

Hi John. What was the deciding factor for getting these ones over all the others? Price? Removable/replaceable skid plate? Looks? Thanks. And keep up the videos. I watch them all.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Hello sir, I liked the look of these and they are made here in the USA as well so the decision was easy for me... I thank you for watching ... keep safe out there... :)

[@weljo2001]

looks good..

[@jeromehebert3184]

look nice

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Thanks for watching sir.... :)

[@tonybucca5667]

Put the T-Rex set on my 06...I hope I never have to try them out.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

I hope not as well... thanks for watching.. :)

[@9999plato]

Lets hope you never need to test them.

[@comcastjohn]

Just found out about this. Copy and paste it in the google search bar. RECALL Yamaha FJR1300 Owners Advised Not to Ride Their Bikes Until Gearbox Recall Is Performed.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Well this is disappointing news but at least it came at the right time of the year. I hope Yamaha can get these parts to dealers in a timely manner so we can get the fix before spring... Thanks for the info sir... :)
