I know I said I would take a look while I was waiting to be fleeced at Motolegends but I wasn't kept waiting more than 2 coffees.

That is a stunning looking bike Rae and knowing how much you love your FJRs I just know that you will love it to bits...and for any naysayers, in the real world the FJR is every bit as capable as the K. On the limit, er, well, but how often do any of us go there?

Next time, just ride as tail end Charlie, way safer imho.

Really? You bought it? After all the rubbishy things you said about it on the phone this morning?

Nice buy my friend. Nice buy. It was written in the sand, it was meant to be yours.

So Glen, what is your next bike going to be?

They only reason they brought the red ones in at all was because of pressure and pester power from the Owners club. So just to keep them quiet they brought in one container load. The UK red ones are slightly different to the USA ones in as much as the side panels on the USA ones are silver and the UK ones are red and I must say I prefer the UK spec, the USA one look a bit odd with a silver side panel.

Very nice! Wonder why they didn't bring more in?
It's like grey cars - why? Who goes 'Hmmm, I need a new car. But it's got to be grey.'  ???

And look at that intelligent radiator position/design - blanked at the bottom by using the belly pan.

You've really fallen on your feet - so to speak.  :o

Hi Glynn,

Sorry just seeing this, been having a busy month with work and moving house!!

Congrats on getting the unit! I don't think you will be disappointed. Ive been loving it and is a great addition to the bike.

So the Unit needs to be connected to the bikes battery, then an extra switch cable connects to the bikes sat nav connector using an adapter.

https://www.motorworks.co.uk/wiring-repair-kit-ela13585-1.html

The manual says the switch cable draws 10-14v.

I have the wireless remote, but to be honest Ive not really used it as the screen is so responsive.

I built a custom mount for my bike, as having it on the battery cover would be useless and I wasnt happy with having it on the bars.  I'm already seeing how it can be improved into a better position and once settled into my new place will be adapting it.

I've finally got round to editing my 1st video about buying the big K and installing the Chigee if anyones interested

While talking to tech support, I also asked them for a discount code for the forum and to put into the series etc which they happily gave me.

https://www.chigee.com/RT-POV

Use code RT-POV for 20% discount!

Its been such a blast getting back on 2 wheels and installing the chigee has given me a nice project to get stuck into and a good subject to make a few videos about.

give me a DM if you like and im happy to pass you my number if you have any questions about the install etc. i also had to adapt the front camera to fit a go pro extender as it was too short for the front.

I must say, even though it isn't a K, it looks like a very nice bike that I wouldn't mind at all. Well done.

Congrats Rae…aren’t you suffering from withdrawal symptoms from not being able to ride it home?  ;)

Countdown to delivery has commenced…enjoy!

I am now the proud owner of a very nice Red Yamaha FJR 1300A 2015 model. The Red FJRs are a pretty rare beast as there was only ever one container load brought into the UK in around September 2014. So now I have owned two of them, I hope I can keep this one shiny side up.
I had to take Melanie's car to view the bike so I was unable to ride it home and apart from that it needs an MOT which I am sure it will sail through. I am awaiting a delivery date. I have just added it to my existing insurance policy. This is the first time I have owned two bikes at the same time.
