  1. @fddriver2 thats what im talking about. way to get out there. Ill see what type of historic or roadside attraction I can find this weekend. Im going to try and get a little run out in the next few days if the weather works in my favor.
  2. Its been a week, I picked the Guitar since it was previously mentioned. Any one live near a hard rock? They have a huge neon guitar at most locations. I don't want to get 2 in a row, but I can get to the Hard Rock if someone else can't get this done by the end of the weekend.
  3. If you don't want to count the performers in the Bars from @bigorangecntry07, I have it covered. The Photo is really bad since I had to take it in a rush. But in the background under the stop lights are 3 kids. 2 playing drums and one dresses as Elmo in the street playing for money. Everyone is facing looking at them, In the photo you can only see the 1 kid with the large base drum and the top of Elmos head. Ive tried to link a Video also. Neon Guitar Sign is a good next target.
  4. @limpy88 thats a killer shot with a drone. nice work
  5. I haven't had much time on the bike but I was stuck in traffic on my way home yesterday and I figured i could snap a quick photo. This is Independence Hall (you may recognize this from the back of the $100 bill) and in the building to the left holds the Liberty Bell. Its kinda fitting for 4th of July The Next Target is your FJ-09 in a Harley Davidson Dealership lot or with the HD Dealership sign. Whats more American that Harley, right? Hope everyone has a fun safe holiday and gets some time on 2 wheels.
  6. Missed the Flag but got the BMW. I ended up parked briefly next to two BMWs last night - a 4 wheel BMW (owner unknown) and a 2 wheel BMW (GS1150 that my buddy owns) I took a quick photo with my phone. and I had a better photo from a ride last week with a buddy who also has a BMW, but didn't want to use it unless I got a photo after the target was posted. Next target your FJ-09 in a photo with construction equipment larger than the bike
  7. @texscottyd I have the perfect one to fill the stars and stripes quota if I can get down by it tomorrow on the way to work or home from work
  8. Did a drive by on the fire department this morning. It was overcast and sprinkling so they were packed away, but you can see 4 of them in the garage. Next up Your FJ09 with a water tower in the background Glad to see the post getting some love now that the weather is breaking.
  9. @alexpa like @betoney posted. I just googled OPM parts for the 16 and found the decals. I used blue painters tape to mark the outline of the old decals and took a heat gun to take them off. I put the new decals on and removed the paint tape. I cleaned the area with light soapy water before i removed the decals and hit the space for the decal with some rubbing alcohol before I installed the new ones. Not many will notice the change but I see it every time I walk up to my bike and I think it just looks a little cleaner with the black and grey vs the red.
  10. @bigorangecntry07 what ram mount did you use? Do you think it will be able to stay in place if you ever put the stock screen back on?
  11. @clint , @redfjniner , @betoney Thank you guys for the concern and heads up. The thought has crossed my mind, and you are not the 1st one to mention this to me. I ride with a great group of guys most of the time and will ask their opinions when we ride together next. If they confirm the suspicion the Stock signals will go back on until I find the proper solution. That being said - anyone have any suggestions for smaller blinkers that are visible? @hawkeye have you had anyone you ride with mention your turn signals? I noticed you have the same ones I have installed.
  12. I ordered some OEM Decals from a Grey 15 FJ-09 for my Black 16 FJ-09 and got them on. The Decals were the only thing that was red on the Bike and I wanted to keep with the Grey/Black theme. I also ordered flush mounted Turn Signals which will be protected by the engine gaurds if the bike ends up on the ground. I got them both installed. Few before and after photos to see the Lights head on and a close up of the decals. Took all of 45 mins to get the lights and the Decals on.
  13. Sorry. I’m out riding my FJ09, and will respond to your message when I return. Grab a photo by a McDonalds on the way home ?
  14. Welcome to the photo game thread. This was a thread that I was a part of on a forum for my previous bike and it was fun for me. I hope others enjoy it as well. How the game is played: -The game is played by taking a picture of your "FJ-09" beside a target object or place. For example the first picture could be your FJ-09 beside a McDonalds sign (very easy one). The first person to post the correct picture gets to pick the next target. -If you are the person to set the target you aren't eligible to post the first correct target pic. You'll have to wait for the next round. -There aren't many rules although we could say try to keep it clean, or somewhat clean. Also, this is all in good fun. If there is a dispute, for example the target could be a lake and someone may post a picture of a puddle; we can have 2-3 active members as judges. -If you have taken a picture but aren't the first person to post feel free to share your pic anyway, on this thread or on the original photo thread. Seeing a variety of pics will make it more fun. Only the first person to post will set the next target. -To keep the game moving if you post a correct picture you can set the new target in the same post. Please post the new target in Red to make it easier to see. -If there is a challenge to the picture then a judge will make a ruling. If the game stalls because a target is to hard, like The Great Pyramid in Egypt, then a judge will pick a new target to get it going again. - I will gladly be a judge and would like 1 or 2 more members willing to act as a judge as well. Since I am new to this forum I do not know any of you very well. (please PM if you would like to be a judge) First Target - [b style=color:rgb(252, 37, ]Picture of your FJ-09 in front of a McDonalds [/b]p.s. if this game flops ill gladly remove the thread
