    What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?

    in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions

    Posted

    Have you had a chance to ride with the GPS in that position yet? How are the vibrations through the mount to the GPS? I only ask because I killed a Garmin Zumo by mounting it on a reservoir cover on my FJR. I could feel the high speed vibes through it on the road. I should have known better. I moved the mount base to my Mottorad Riser when I got my replacement. There are noticeably fewer and less intense vibrations in that location. If the vibes are not bad in that location I think you solved my question as to where I am going to mount my GPS on the FJ.    :D
    @jimf: I think it will be fine since the screen is only mounted with those 4 goofy screws surrounded in rubber...but the rest is pretty solid.
    Will do some extensive riding the next 2 days and report back here...
     
    Regarding vibrations to the GPS I'm not too worried since those are filtered out by the RAM Balls on both mount and GPS holder.

    Crafted a solution for the GPS so it's mounted above the clocks.... Very cheap solution with pieces which are already part of your (Garmin) GPS....

    Do you have a pic of the flip side?  I'm wondering how you secured it.  I'm thinking you used a simple drilled plate.  Also, that looks like a RAM handlebar mount, yes?  Did it need to be altered in any way or just bolted on?

    Only have this pic from my initial testing and fitting but it will give you and idea about how it's (secure) bolted

    Once I had the correct fitment I drilled an additional hole in the middle of the RAM Handlebar Mount (which comes with every Garmin GPS) for the 2nd bolt. And of course drilled the 2 holes in the screen mount.
     
    And would have done this sooner but would have thought some kind of GPS mount was developed for it by now... ;)
     
    Anyway...this was easy peasy to do...

    I wonder if I can return mine. I wanted to set them up as turn signals anyways..... if they had included the module shown in the instructions.

    Not sure how your French is but the pictures might help on this link: http://www.mt09.net/t4098-installation-des-clignotants-led-a-l-avant

    Thank you for the good intentions, but unfortunately (a) my schoolboy French is not that good and (b) the installation shown seems to refer to side-lights: and the two wires in my LED's pigtail are white and black, too... But I do appreciate your interest.
    I'm sure others can (and hopefully will ) post helpful words/ pix.

    Know the existence of Google Translate... ;)I thought you wanted to know how to connect the wires...the pics show you exactly where you can hook up the wires...where black is ground and the other color is positive.

    Thanks. Sorry for being a complete idiot but what cable did you connect the posi-taps to? All additional tips on installation (especially connecting the wires) not shown in the manual would be most appreciated..!:) 
     
     
    Ditto ditto ditto - I DO admit to being a complete no-hoper when it comes to electrical stuff! L of S

    FJR bags on FJ

    in FJ-09 Parts and Accessory reviews

    For those of youse who are on the fence about buying either the FJR bag or the FJ bag, you can purchase set of unpainted FJR bags for the price of FJ bag (Painted ones are too damn expensive).  Unpainted FJR bags actually have two tone colors. Base of the bag is plain unpainted black plastic just like FJ bags and the lid has matte sheen to it.  I think it actually blends in nicely with rest of the bike.  I have a red FJ and set of unpainted FJR bags and it looks great! So whether you have a grey or a red fj, you can't go wrong.  You just gotta get in line for the lower mounts like I am!
    Pics, or a link?

    They are build to order.....(Factory burned down last year)...I'm sure they will ship to the US as well..

    I did email them awhile back about ordering the matte black xxl and they sent me there bank transfer numbers. Wasnt sure how to do this through paypal so I gave up.
    Transferred it to their PayPal address and 15 working days later it showed up on my doorstep...(shipped with Track & Trace).. :)The beauty of using PayPal is that your money is at least safe... It's not cheap...but looks and fits perfect... :)

    Those lights look great..! How are you using the "LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT RELAY" with it...(unless you don't ofcoz.... :) ....)...?

    The relay is a simple two wire connection direct to the battery the relay automatically turns on the lamps when the engine is started and off when stopped 

     
     
     
     

    Ah, so no need to connect the white wire which is used for "dimming"...?
