Looks like one of the out-of-control killer bots in RoboCop movies.

Oh, this is also my first bike with cruise control.
Tried that out yesterday, fantastic option.
Not a deal breaker out here though.
On the way to the Rally, I'll be lovin it.

"I was nervous about what to put on the matte blue finish for protection."
I put rain and bugs on my matt blue FJR and when I fell over last year I used matt blue fingernail polish on the scratches lol

Wow, I saw Yamaha made a matte blue and black top case for your FJR that would match mine perfect. I don't think the mounting brackets line up though.
Some how I missed reading about your FJR, did it replace a Honda ST?

Yea, my secondary master cyl on the linked braking system failed and locked the rear brake (fairly common issue) while my wife and I were out on a ride for our anniversary last year. Nice long unexpected skid. Luckily we were on a straightaway and not in one of the curves we had just ridden at 55 mph. Then I strained the motor trying to get it home. At the shop they couldn't get it to start and one cylinder showed 25%. At any rate it would have cost more to fix than it's worth at 10 years and 110,000 miles, so I sold it for parts and bought a new FJR.
