Trambo

I’ve ran them for 30k miles. The wheels balance fine and checking and adding air are much easier.

going to give the "Beak" a try
 
and yes, for those observant folks, it is an aftermarket horn.

Took my '16 in for it's annual inspection. All good. 
Wandered around the showroom while they were inspecting it and lo and behold! they had a GT on the floor! Here, in lowly East Overshoe!
 
Didn't ask the price, didn't want to know...

Yeah, I went to purchase some shop supplies for my bike yesterday (oil filter/brake fluid/crush washers) and the GT was right in front of the main entrance. You couldn't get into the dealership without walking right by it. I didn't ask the price either.........

At the end of the day, $25 for a set of levers, ya get what ya pay for.

Simple, put them in your vise and run a reamer into the hole. Or go oversize, press in an oil-lite and then ream to size. 
What, you guys don't all have a machine shop in your garden shed?

The Next Target is your FJ-09 in a Harley Davidson Dealership lot or with the HD Dealership sign. 
Whats more American that Harley, right? 
 
Hope everyone has a fun safe holiday and gets some time on 2 wheels. 

I removed the " Bat Wings " ... stole the bar ends off my FZ-07 since they fit... 
its my theory at certain speeds and angle of " Bat Wings " they provide the lift needed to help the FJ-09 achieve flight

Empirical evidence suggests you’re absolutely right. If you scroll back a few pages in this thread, you’ll find this comment of mine from June 9th of initial observations after removing the batwing handguards:  
“One thing that is absolutely noticeable is a change in high speed stability. From the day it was new, my bike had a minor low frequency oscillation - I would never have called it a speed wobble - at speeds around 110 - 115 mph (professional rider, closed course, don’t try this at home, blah, blah, blah...). The new suspension muted it significantly, but it was still definitely there... not dangerous, not troubling, but noticeable. In the back of my mind, I always thought with was likely an aero issue, presumably since I have the saddle bags on the bike 100% of the time. Well, I can happily report that removing the factory handguards completely cleared up the oscillation issue. I covered over a mile yesterday laid out on the speed governor (don’t judge me) with zero stability concerns. Who would have guessed?”

This one seems to have gone nowhere, but I think we’ll let it run through the weekend before trying something else.  
So, if you’re out riding this weekend, be on the lookout for a photo oppoertunity of [b style=color:rgb(252, 37, ]...your FJ with a mural, sculpture, or some other sort of roadside artwork [/b]

Today.... I rode the NC part of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

No, I've never really posted enough on any forum to get to really know people, but I know the screen names. My name on the SV forum was the same, Rockin SV. I never made any of the rallies, but coincidentally ended up down there when one was going on. I had already moved on to my FZ1 at that point.

Yeah that is cool. I actually remember you from the SV forum. That's a few bikes ago, but I have a soft spot in my heart for that bike yet too.

We'll be there from June 3rd thru 10th. You headed down?

I seen a gray FJ there a couple times, I bet that was yours. I was there Monday through Friday on a red one. Though for two days I mixed it up and rode rented bikes. I rented a dual sport and did the dirt Cherahola and Street Triple and had a ball. I've always wanted to ride a Street through there, figuring it was like my old SV on steroids. It was a hoot!

Fast Red 2015 FJ-09 got dipped! Decided to try plasti-dip for the first time and had my brother sketch out a buncha color options on Photoshop and this is what we came up with, I'm quite happy with how it came out! Let me know what you guys/gals think, if anyones interested the colors are Army Green Camo and wheels are Copper Metallizer.  Still need to paint/switch the red side FJ-09 sticker but it doesnt look too bad either way! 

Nice, very cool place it's like a jungle in there.

It’s an hour from the house and there’s not a more beautiful place that I know of in the springtime. I spent a lot of time as a boy in Tellico. This thread has been an inspiration to me so far. 
Now..... Get out there and ride your FJ. Go see something. 

Next up: Your FJ-09 next to a park sign that is interesting, like a national or state park sign with a logo. Other park signs are okay too if the sign is not plain and boring.
