    Disable ABS

    in FJ-09 Tech Tips/How to's

    Posted

    ...I hate abs, I think it's dangerous, and degrading to motorcyclists as a whole lol.
    I understand wanting to have a bike in its pure form without having as many of the electronics.. but how does ABS make a bike dangerous?

    ...Found a perfect tail bag that fits the rear seat on the FJ09 almost perfectly...  IMG_2681_zpsqsuhsrhc.jpg
     
     

    I like that OGIO tail bag.  I went with a bigger option and got the Nelson Rigg CL-1040-TP.  Its 29L expandable to 39L and fits the back seat pretty well.  It can even hold a full face helmet when expanded.  You can find some decent deals on Amazon for it if anyone is interested... http://www.amazon.com/Nelson-Rigg-CL-1040-TP-Black-Jumbo-Expandable/dp/B00AC6Y9S6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00

    I also have the Puig touring windscreen. I suggest buying the little deflector that attaches to the top of the windscreen if you go with Puig. Regarding the handguards, I contacted Puig before ordering my windscreen and was able to get a set of "handguard displacers" with mine. I got to keep the look of the stock handguards. I don't understand why they aren't included in every kit.
    Curiously, the install instructions off their website show the displacers. How tall are you... I am 5'9", 32" inseam.
     
     
    I'm 5'11", 33" inseam.. with the deflector attached to the top of the windscreen I can ride down the highway at 80mph+ with my visor open no problem. The wind catches my helmet just above the visor so my vents still get air. No buffeting, just smooth air.
     
    I noticed the handguard displacers on the install instructions as well, but when I got the kit they were not there. Since I contacted Puig regarding the handguard displacers prior to ordering and used their recommended vendor. Puig sent me the displacers free of charge direct from Spain. It was a little annoying, but glad I contacted them ahead of time.

    Did you have to shift/remove the hand guards (top layer that it)?
    Yes, the top layers hit the windscreen, and had to be removed.

    Tail eliminator (Yoshimura)... Integrated Tail Light (Motodynamics)... Front Turn Signals (Motodynamics) minimized! I think it looks pretty good!
     

    I just did the same thing Motodynamic flush mount turn signals and Motodynamic integrated taillight, except I used the Motodynamic fender eliminator kit for the FZ-09. No modification was needed except longer mounting bolts from ACE hardware. I didn't like having to use the resistors to slow the flashing down on the turn signals, so I ordered a flasher relay from TST Industries (recommended by @beanburnham )  which made all of the turn signals plug and play without having to find a place for the resistors.

    Installed Moto Dynamics flush mount front signals and integrated rear tail light, added micro LED signals to new tail tidy, plus a TST industries flasher unit to avoid wiring in resisters. Looks so much cleaner now. Just got my Motocentric tank bag in the mail today plus OES frame sliders. Waiting on the new radiator guard to install
     
     
    I will be doing the same thing this evening. I'm going to remove the rear turn signals for now and just run the integrated tail light.. hope it doesnt get me into trouble!

    FJ-09 windshield options

    Im running the Puig touring screen with the removable deflector (which is a necessity for this screen) and love it. I spoke with Puig's customer service before ordering and they sent me the hand guard displacers so that I could keep the stock hand guards attached.
     
    I agree that the stock guards are not very good in terms of functionality, but I do like how they look with the bike. I have a set of Barkbuster Blizzards that I use when the temperature drops.
     
    Back to the windscreen though. The Puig does flex a bit if you are behind a vehicle on the highway, but it you have clean air it is not the bad. I am 6 foot even, and with the deflector attached, the screen at set to the medium height setting and seat in the low position, I am able to ride with my visor open at highway speeds without a problem. The air barely catches the top of my helmet so if I open the vents I get airflow, but no buffeting and pretty quiet when they are closed.

    Anyone fitted any alternative hand guards

    I can't find anywhere to actually buy them, or I would have ordered them with the Puig windshield.  Points to anyone who can find me a place to purchase the guards!
    Puig customer support sent me to a website called motovationusa.com. If they aren't listed on the website email sales@motovationusa.com and they will set it up. I was going to order them and still may, but they are $200 which is a little pricey for handguards.
