I use the K&N oil filters. They come with a 17mm nut welded to the end. Makes removal easy!

I use the same filter with the welded nut, makes life much easier in the end! 
 
 

Sudden cut off / stall happened again yesterday.  Same scenario, rolling to a stop IDLE, clutch in and the bike cut off.
Wondering if I have an issue with throttle body sync.  Has anyone had this service performed at the dealer?
 
 

Actually bought my first pair of riding boots this weekend
Alpinestars S-MX 1

Thought maybe I would see where everybody is located. You don't have to state specifics, just want to see how diverse FJ owners are   
I am located in San Diego California. 

Southern Delaware.

@bvebrad, I am in Havre de Grace, MD.  I ride up to Christiana all the time.  Let me know if you want to meet up! 
 
 
 

Opposite coast, Maryland....
 

I have the stock OEM bags w/quick release but I feel they are lacking in volume.  May look into something like you have.  Mounting H/W is already in place, the hard part is already done!

@root Looks like the paint came out good, digging the back rest for your passenger. 
 

@hupelde nice work, I may have to "borrow" this idea as well!
 
 
 

Awesome! Good job!!! My have to figure how to get my phone mounted like that. Cheers

I am currently using the X-GRIP with a ball mount on the handle bar but may move to this configuration

Will share a picture tonight!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I prefer the matte gray.
 

4500~ Miles and still looks really good.  The road trip squared it a bit but overall it is still healthy.
 
 
 
 

@jaydee914, I ordered the Tall 26" windscreen, I am 6'2".  It is perfect!
I have also lowered my seat by removing the plastic insert.  Seat-Concepts recovered seat will be in Tuesday or Wednesday.
 
 
 

I installed my Parabellum windscreen a couple weeks ago and now find my self riding with my visor up most of the time and I can actually hear the motorcycle.
 
 
 
 

@cbr600 Thanks for the candid feed back. I wear an XL to XXL, if it is to snug in fit, I will probably never wear it. I got the VRX at my local store with an additional 15% off earlier in the season should be able to find it around 150-160ish.
 
 
 
 

Added Woodcraft Sliders & Pucks, along with Mirror Extenders.
 
 

How do you like the fit of the Revit line?  I am riding with a Cortech VRX that I find very comfortable and reasonably priced but still a bit warm, been looking at the GX Air Mesh.  It is only getting warmer....

Anyone experience a sudden UN-expected engine cut off while on the road at speed or slowing to a stop?
On separate occasions I have clutched in at speed (50-65) trying to figure out what the whining noise was and experienced my engine shutting off.
 
Yesterday, while riding with a group it happened when pulling up to a stop sign.  Clutched in again downshifting from 3rd to 2nd with no issues.  When the group rolled up to the Stop Sign I clutched in for 1st gear and the engine cut out. 
 
I never have a issue with restart but just find this odd and frustrating, temperature was in the 90's.
