So, I started looking at what my options are for my FJ1200.
Getting replacement fairings is a complicated proposition. There are a couple of places that make replacements, they are in Europe, and expensive. Getting used ones most likely means getting ones less broken and fixing them. I don't want to make it a naked streetfighter, as I actually like having a more touring bike rather than an aggressive sporty thing.
Someone suggested I buy another and sell this one to someone who wants to either repair fairings or build a naked one. This is a pretty reasonable proposition, I'm sure I can sell a mechanically sound running bike. Problem is, there are no FJs in my area for sale. I did find a couple I would be interested in, but they are in places like Denver and San Diego. While flying there and riding back would be one hell of a cool road trip, I am not sure it's a good idea with an unfamiliar bike. Driving there and back in a truck is a kind of a pricey proposition, given what gas costs these days. Also, I'm not sure I can spend the time necessary to do it.
Trying to find out about shipping a bike got me more confused than anything. Nobody straight up tells you a rate. Some places talks about pickup, some don't. Ugh.
Things just shouldn't be this complicated.
