How did those bags work out? Gonna be able to keep them out of the wheels at speed? I am a fan of softbags, Wolfman and Giant Loop. They tend not to break if you drop your bike.
 
 
 
 
 

I tried out my soft bags for my 3 day ride next weekend. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r211/C_THRU_U/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-01/20150123_184719.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r211/C_THRU_U/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-01/20150123_184800.jpg
 
and I put on my shorty windscreenhttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r211/C_THRU_U/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-01/20150123_184836.jpg
I also put on my heated grips and the rear rack which I didn't take pics of.

 

Those are the bags that I will be going with. I really like soft bags and they don't break when you low side or drop the bike. And the reflection is an awesome safety feature.
 

Givi soft bags.

 

I have done alot of business with Carl's Cycle in Boise. Good people but not so good service dept.

thought that I would start a thread of interesting stuff popping up for the FJ-09 on Ebay and Amazon.
 
Feel free to add on, but please keep it to Ebay or Amazon parts. In fact, please keep them in here to reduce clutter on the forums.

The following are also all compatible. And before anyone starts pointing out a favorite, remember that more important than brand of filter or oil is actual Frequency of oil and filter change.

    It's all good Miz. Please don't put words in my mouth and I won't get snarky.  As for saving internet users from themselves. Good luck.   The first thing most save up for is a pipe.   Me , suspension. (That doesn't make them wrong. Different priorities, is all)   If there is a glaring flaw with  the FJ it will be obvious to some ,but not others.   If say, The power delivery was abrupt in A mode and made smooth transitions from brakes to throttle at the Apex hard. For me, that's a problem.   My stunter friend would say,"whats the problem", as  he snapped up another wheelie.(..and he parks it in the corners)   If he bought a new ride his first priority ought to be frame siders, case guards, and life insurance ,but those would be my priorities,not his. (He thinks I'm crazy too.)   I'm with holding judgment on anti lock brakes till spring. I expect to stop faster upright under less than ideal conditions.   If I'm not comfortable doing so, they are being bypassed with a two brake line system.               

Not entirely sure when I put words in your mouth, so don't get snarky with me. Seeming you have so many problems with this bike, I recommend finding another bike to meet your needs. Best of luck and farewell internet forums. People like you are the reason I never join them. 

 
 
I hate when people get pissy on my forums. Keep it up and your both outta here.
 

I don't think that there would be an issues with installing braided brake lines. Should be a normal install, right?

Let me know when u are in town, especially if you ride home!

What part of Idaho did u live? Im in the Boise area.
