Sold my FJR AE model and bought a 2008 Concours ABS model. Got what I feel is a great deal on it but it had the broken windshield problem.
Really a clean bike with 20000 miles, Seargeant seat, Dekelvic slip on, bar riser and Cee Bailey windshield. Other then that the bike is pretty stock as far as I know. Looking forward to getting a tune in the near future.
I ended up taking off the bar risers for now. Want to try without initially.
Gave $3500 for the bike but did have to fix the cracked bracket that supports the windshield. I ended up making a bracket to take the place of the original out of 304 Stainless with a slot cut in it. Then cut a couple pieces of teflon and backing plates to mount it. Works perfectly as far as I'm concerned although I never experienced the original in working order.
Read a bunch on the site before buying the bike and really appreciate all of the content available. Hopefully I can add some wisdom at some point.
Thanks,
Lee
