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

    krucymucy, very nice job on the Tutoro install. 
    Had one on my Triumph Sprint and it worked perfectly until it got stolen off of the bike whilst I was in Spain riding the Pyrenees.
     
    I've been meaning to get one for the GT900 but the installations I've seen so far (mainly using cable-ties) have been ugly. Your solution looks great, would you mind sharing the plans/ dimensions for the mounting bracket so that I can get one made-up?
     
    Cheers
    Steve
     
     
    No problem I'll share it as soon as I get home from holidays.

    Hello fellow Fj-09/MT-09 Tracerians!  
    It's been a while since I posted on this forum, but over the winter (and not just today) I've focused on getting the "Scrambler" (Batman/Dark Knight reference) some armor.
     
    I thought of going for the givi crashbars, but to be honest the crashbars makes the bike bulky and seems more like an adv bike taking away the street/track characteristics and not to mention the dead weight ~11 lbs/5.0 kgs.
     
    So I decided to go take an alternate approach and hoped to conceal the armor in strategic positions. I considered the benefits and drawbacks of sliders and still thought of going down this route.
     
    I installed frame, swingarm (in hindsight a bit of an overkill for the FJ09) and case sliders on the bike and it costed around the same as the givi crashbar.
     
    I'll paste the links to the parts that I purchased on amazon. Keep in mind the frame and swingarm sliders delivers quickly, the engine slider protector takes a couple of weeks because it ships directly from China.

    And here's what it looks like:

    About the engine sliders. Was there any problems during installation, supplied screw lengths were OK? Any oil leaks while installing?
