  1. Finished installing McCruise cruise control on my '15. Been looking forward to this pretty much since I bought the bike. Fairly easy install, and the provided instructions are very clear, so no need for a how-to.
  2. Well... Fixed it myself. Apparently I just needed to walk away for a minute. For those wondering the answer, gently pull the lower portion of the fairing towards you while turning the clip with a screwdriver. Slips right out!
  3. Looking for advice on how to remove the expansion clips on the lower portion of the inner fairing (pictured). On the ECU removal thread, they use a screwdriver, but I can't figure out how to make that work.. It just spins. I've tried gently prying, but don't want to break it. Any help is appreciated, I'm trying to install the McCruise.
  4. Great work on the fabrication! So you just lift the back flap to open the underside storage?
  5. Anyone have any updates on this topic? I know @PFJohns and @koth442 was looking at this. But I didn't see too many replies detailing success or failure. Very interested in this route.
  6. $100 is a steal if 1) you like how it feels, and 2) the seat is in good condition.
  7. Installed HeliBars handlebar risers, specifically for the FJ-09. I was going to do a "how to", but the instructions were so clear and easy to follow, that I don't think it's necessary. Took the bike for a spin, and the difference was immediately felt. No more reaching, a much more comfortable riding position, and it felt like I was in even better control than before.

  8. Re-rotated the handlebars back. I rolled them forward as a failed experiment in comfort, but looks like I'll invest in some bar risers at some point. Installed KTM handguards. As many have said, it was incredibly simple. Had to adjust some zip ties, but that's about it.
  9. Don't let your "need to ride" overcome common sense and safety. I'd ensure that they are sending a replacement, send your defective unit in, and wait. Why play with fire?
  10. Order placed. Barkbusters is apparently out of the FJ-09 variant, so I needed an alternative. Does anyone have a link to bar end weights that work with both the bike and handguard? The most promising links early in the thread are old and no longer link to anything. Thanks for the help!
  11. Installed Grip Puppies and rotated the handlebar forward to alleviate right wrist awkwardness and hand numbness after about 45 minutes of riding. This put my levers in an extremely awkward position and made the OEM hand guards even more useless. Removed the hand guards and rotated my levers upwards making sure there was adequate clearance, then ordered Barkbusters Storms. Hopefully there won't be a problem on install with the angle of the handlebars.
  12. I'll be in Wichita Falls throughout the month of may. Considering bringing the bike, but not sure since the weather there turns nasty in about 10 seconds.
  13. Thanks for the excellent write up! Does anyone know if they also allow bar-end weights or sliders to be installed?
