  1. Ebay from Italy. Givi D2122S Givi USA says they won't get them until February at the earliest.
  2. All pictures can be seen HERE. This screen bolts right up to the stock mount. I love the look and it's more effective than stock! Much less buffeting and noise. I actually like it low for in town and high for freeway speeds. It's been raining like crazy the past 5 days, so I only got one ride in, but here are some pics. This will be the one that stays on my bike. I'll be selling the Ermax touring and possibly the Calsci shorty. Below is one with the OEM laying on top of the Givi. Almost the same heighth, the biggest differences are the side winglets on the top and bottom, concave dip around the mount area and a little flip on the top.
  3. In transit! Somewhere between NC and Italy. 8D
  4. Haven't received it yet, but the cutouts are there to clear the handguards. A couple more observations are the winglets at the bottom and top, then the concave section at the bottom/middle. Givi's has a great reputation for fully developing their products before release, so I'm confident it will improved the stock screen, which frankly works pretty well for me as I wear earplugs on every ride.
  5. Purchased here. Simply googled "italian to english" and communicated fine.
  6. Most excellent. What parts did you need to buy? This is on my list of things to do to the bike before spring. I think all I need is the peg, the rubber bit, and the bolt that holds the rubber bit on -- and I can reuse the pivot pin and retention clip from the original pegs. Do I have that about right? You'll need the pegs, the rubber bits, 2 springs and one pivot pin. You can reuse the right side pivot pin (cotter pins required). The rubber bit fits nicely on the peg without hardware. Don't bother purchasing the peg feelers as the Tenere only has a peg feeler on ONE side, so just go without. This is NOT a straight up swap! It takes some work as you'll have to grind or cut off about 5mm from the new pegs. Then fitting it all on the bracket takes some fiddling. When you've got it done it's pretty tight and wants to bind a bit on movement, but spraying some penetrating grease on the pivot pins and spring made it all work great! I rode today with them, and they truly are an improvement! Totally worth the effort and look great too!
  7. Bought the D2122S today. Around $104 USD shipped from Italy. Fantastico!
  8. I wanted to order these and I wanted the black ones to match my bike, which cost $30. When I went to pay, I noticed that they charge $16 just for shipping!! That is ridiculous, just for two light weight aluminum 2" extenders!! Guess I won't be buying them from this company!!Just call them. They'll ship USPS for about $7.
  9. I've had my FJ-09 with OEM hard luggage up to 135 mph several times (ECU Flashed) with absolutely no wobble...period. There is a back road that is WIDE open about 40 miles from home where I can do this safely. This bike is rock solid. Just got back from a weekend near Deals Gap, staying at Iron Horse MC Lodge. The FJ-09 was nothing short of perfect on the Cherohala Skyway, Deals Gap, 180, etc. It was comfortable, powerful, compliant, smooth and just thrilling!
  10. Took the GTS1000 in for a state inspection this morning and saw the new BMW S1000XR! About $18,200. Looked nice! Except I can't get past the duckbill platypus front fairing.
  11. Very nice! Can you take some pictures of the Shad 29 top case? I waiting for delivery of my Shad SH33! Got it for $84.00 new on fleabay.
  12. No, ABS is not active at a stand still. Disable TCS and have a ball!
  13. 15w50 isn't mentioned in the manual, but 15w40 shows as good down to 30F which is perfect for NC. Mobil 1 15w50 has gotten my other Yamaha over 100,000 miles with 65,000 on the current clutch plates. It has NO "Energy Conserving" or "Resource Conserving" rating and is fine for a wet clutch. Running it in my FJ-09 now.....mothers milk.
  14. What you are describing is a circuit that would turn OFF the lights when the bikes signals go on. ( thus being out of synch ) However, in the video the front and rear signals appear to be in synch with the LED lights. That has me baffled as to how that is accomplished. What am I missing? [video src=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgr8fEPDsm8] Ty What I described is a circuit that switches the LEDs On/Off/On/Off. The converter will light the LEDs until the turn signals are activated at which time it will switch power on/off/on/off. It's all done in the circuitry of the converter.
  15. Any chance you can explain or show how you wired these to sync with your turn flashers? Even with the instructions I could not figure how to wire them? I've got an electronics background, so it seemed pretty straight forward to me. There are 3 wires going to the stock front turn signals, ground, turn and running (12v constant). You can tap those directly using the 3 wires from the converter. Output from the converter is two wire, ground and constant (12v). Those two wires go to the LED knuckle guards. The converter will light the LEDs until the turn signals are activated at which time it will switch power on/off/on/off. Once the turn signals are extinguished, the power is constant again.
  16. NOOOOO!!!! 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. Ty I've got mine wired as running lights/turn signals and they won't pass inspection unless they are amber. I'll simply purchase some transparent self adhesive Amber/Orange vinyl. Might even leave the film on there if I like it better. link
  17. You can get Yamaha OEM connectors HERE . Yeah, I'd think 1" extenders would suffice if you can find them.
  18. What kind of adjustable levers are those? Purchased from Mad Hornets
  19. Thanks @bobdog! The Anti-Glare product I picked up from Amazon. 3 for around $10. As mentioned in a couple of the reviews, in low light the display loses some sharpness and for that reason alone, I almost removed it. But once I went riding it simply wasn't an issue and on sunny days, it's perfect!! I'm leaving tomorrow on a 4 day ride through West Virginia and will provide more feedback when I return.
  20. The LED turn signals are perfect 3 wire replacements for OEM. Plug and play except I had to cut and splice the OEM wire to retain the OEM connector. Simply combine the 2 hot leads to make them function as turn only on the rears. Ebay LED Turn Signals The mirror extenders are 2". I don't believe Koubalink sells 1" extenders.
  21. A quick walkaround of my FJ-09 and the accessories added. The Motodynamic tail light does not flicker like that in person. [video src=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBflNL_rS4M" size="medium]
