Just purchased a 2022 FJR from Mountain Motorsports in Georgia. It was shipped from Yamaha without saddlebags. The dealer has no idea when the bags and associated hardware will arrive.

Welcome to the Horde! Be among Friends!

Pics? Is it Cobalt Blue?

Yamaha corporate’s official estimate is that they will ship 9/22 at the earliest, and could be delayed until early 2023.

I purchased a 22 and immediately put city cases on it. I quite like them.

Regarding “associated hardware”, there isn’t any. Locks come with the bike. The rubber pucks got inadvertently deleted from their build list, and Yamaha is trying to figure out how to supply them in the interim.
My dealer ordered a set for me (for my city cases), since they didn’t come with the Yamaha city cases.
Bags ship separately from the crated bike anyway. It’s a baffling delay, however.

Yes, cobalt blue.

I have the 2006 in Cobalt Blue! LOVE that color on the FJR!!!

Stuck in a factory in China!

Welcome from the Big Apple and congrats on your new ride. Enjoy!

As a guy who builds plastic injection molds, I'm puzzled what the hold up is. I imagine the cases are made from a fairly common plastic, so the supply of materials shouldn't be too much of an issue. The problem shouldn't be tooling damage as even severe damage to the molds shouldn't take that long to repair. My best guess is that Yamaha changed suppliers when it came to producing the cases and that their may be some major hang ups with the switch.

Pity you're not in the UK as I have a pair of 'Deep Purplish Blue Metallic' bags (in pretty good condition) from my wrecked 2003 in the For Sale section

So Bill, what you’re calling “city bags” are those the flat lid bags that are on the Tracer normally ?

 

[Bill Lumberg]

Yes. They are Yamaha city cases. They fit the fjr from the factory. For the tracer, there’s a mount kit that has to be installed.

I hope your dealer warned you of the issue. I posted this known issue a couple of months ago.

2022s will ship without saddlebags!

I was at my local dealer and visited with the General Manager today and asked if he would be getting 2022s FJRs in stock. He told me he had ordered three, but then was told they would ship without saddle bags. So he cancelled his orders for two of them. He said he has been told it would...

Waiting on my cases too. Been using a backpack for my stuff and it sucks.

I bought this on Amazon for $40. It's working for now.

Can you post a picture of it on your bike?

 

[mwbennett78]

It looks just like the Amazon photos. Fit well on the rear seat.

Thanks, I was curious how it attached. Looks good.

I got my 2022 FJR back in March, with no saddle bags. I called Yamaha several times, and they have no ETA for them. We are at the end of June already. This could take a long, long, long time! My advice, DON'T GET THE BIKE WITHOUT THE BAGS. I can't even sell the bike if I want to. This is like if they sell you a pickup truck without the bed, just the chassis. INCREDIBLE!

 

[mwbennett78]

I agree it is frustrating, but didn't purchase the bike solely on it having saddlebags. I considered many brands & models before deciding on the FJR. Eventually they will show up and I will be glad when they do. For now the $40 tailbag from Amazon works. It will also be useful after the saddlebags are installed.
