Thank you for all of your replies.

I think with the weight distribution being the issue (with lots of weight behind me and slightly higher) it probably isn't the best idea unfortunately.

I'd find a thinner gf but this one is really nice 

Solo riding for now I suppose...

If the relationship is going great, why not see if she would be interested in getting her motorcycle license therefore, she would ride her own bike and you guys can ride together as a ''riding couple'' instead of both of you on the same motorcycle.

The only one I question would be the left front, which is a longer ‘double banjo’ to accommodate two lines:  One from the ABS module, and one to crossover to the right side front caliper.  

sorry for the late reply, I have been a bit busy. To answer your question, it would still be a M10X1.25, but a double banjo instead of a single. See the link bellow.

I found the answer, I hope it will help someone else. If the bolt is in the  Master cylinder & calipers it will be M10X1.25, any other banjo bolt down the line will be M10X1.00. Answer received from Spiegler

Hello, I think the banjo bolt size at the calipers are M10X1.25. Is it the same size for the master cylinder or is it M10X1.00. If someone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated

 

Thank you

Great shine on the headers, are they stock? What do you clean them with?

Hey, thank you. They are the stock headers and I polish them as well as the front forks with nevr-dull  polish.

I have em too, so glad I spent all that extra money over generic eBay/amazon no-names.

That is true at 100%

Hello, here are some things that I did/added to my FJ-09 so far and links if anyone in interested in doing the same. As for future plan I do have a  gps handle mount on order, I do want to put a tail tidy kit but keep all original turn signals and in time buy a half decent tail bag.

Update. In the end I decided to go with Pazzo Racing. Their levers are top quality, saved me a total of $75.00 CAD vs the CRG RC2. I went with black levers with gold tab and its an awesome bike match. If anyone ever considers aftermarket adjustable levers I highly recommend Pazzo Racing.

 

my guts tells me your right when it comes to the colour matching, but powder coating is the best way to go. I just hope I can get a  colour that is very close to the rim as I think it would look cool, plus would add a personal touch to my FJ.

I did not know a spectrophotometer actually existed. I will definitely asked if he does have one if not ill check other powder coating shops see if anyone has one. Thank you for your help really appreciate it.

Hello, I want to get the engine guard on my FJ powder coated to match the rims. I know that the colour of the rims is 1329 deep purplish blue metallic DPBM15. Only problem is that powder coating uses a different chart and that colour information means nothing to the business I will bring the guard to. I was wondering if anyone ever did get some powder coating done that would know what number that would match the rims. I feel as the closest would be #5002 on the chart but may be a mix of two colours. What do you guys think? The link below is for the colour chart.

thank you

its pretty cool to see different aspect from different region. I am glad its just not a me thing as it would of made me the odd ball 😅. Thank you guys for answering such a random question and satisfying my curiosity.

yeah i agree with the not getting a wave back but its all good and i share the same mentality as piotrek, salute at it all. Haha it is true as the first few weeks its go time and excitement is in the air

Hello folks, I was just thinking and thought I would ask around to satisfy my curiosity. The other day I went riding and I passed by a parking lot with 3 riders just chilling with their bikes, they waved, I waved it was magical. As I was thinking about it it reminded me that a few weeks ago, first beautiful day we had, I had my FJ in the driveway being washed  and a group of about 10 riders passed by my house. I put my two’s in the air and every one of them saluted except the last rider. He honked, made me feel extra special. I have to ask, any one else salutes other riders when they aren’t riding? Is it a Canadian thing or just a me thing?

Cheers

it will definitely be something to look into & consider 

thank you

do you find the shorty to be more comfortable than the standard?

Perfect that answers my question thank you guys for the quick reply

hello, I am looking to change the stock brake/clutch on my 2016 FJ-09. I was looking at some CRG RC2 but they say it is not a guaranteed fit therefore i can not buy it for my FJ. Just for fun i had a look for some for a FZ-09 and there was a match. Anyone know if the lever for the FZ-09 would fit on the FJ?

 

thank you 

Thank you fellows for the quick reply. I will make sure to go try them both before purchase & not base my decision on cost/brand name. I am curious, do we know when the gt-air 2 is officially coming out? So I have an idea when to price hunt for a discounted gt-air

www.helmetcity.co.uk list as early 2019 and already have heavily discounted helmets.

Oh wow, that is awesome. I hope they will be on my side of the world by spring as they advertise so I can start looking for my new helmet at a discounted rate if I chose the shoei.  

Almost forgot, my current helmet is a bell arrow. I am sure either one will be a big improvement over the one I currently have.

Hello, I am contemplating purchasing a new helmet next summer. After doing a bit of research It came down to two helmets.Shoei Gt Air & Scorpion exo t1200. I saw a thread on this website about the scorpion, but none for the Shoei. My questions are as followed. 1.From current & previous helmet owners, any suggestion on what helmet I should buy?2. To the best of your knowledge, is the Shoei with his 729.00 (cad) price worth the cost premium vs the Scorpion with his 349.00 (cad) price tag?
Thank you much appreciated
