Clean machine!

What pattern you running on the Blaster?

It's just the stock pattern. Strobes when you hit brake lever.

MTD Fender Eliminator kit, Custom LED Blaster-X, and Memphis Grizzlies plate frame. Bike is shaping up!

New LED turn signal/running lights for the front. Got them on Amazon for $18, spacers for $16, and TST industries plug converters for $12. Easy cheap mod. Next is Blaster-X integrated tail light and Motodynamic fender eliminator.

Removed the Yamaha toaster oven and replaced with a Delkevic Exhaust. It's got a growl to it now! 

Very nice! I had a Delkevic exhaust on my 2006 FZ1. What size is that?

I installed the seat slope mod on my 2015 FJ-09. Perfect fit. Looking forward to riding in to work tomorrow morning. Thanks so much to Clegg78's ingenious kit. I have a newly purchased Bagster seat.

Thank you sir! She's got 1700 miles. I'm hoping there's a BIG difference in comfort. I don't find the stock seat that disagreeable, but after an hour I'm squirming all over the place.

New Bagster Seat! Just put on today. Can't wait to ride tomorrow! Vive la France!

Tour Master Response 3.0 Waterproof boots. Don't know about the waterproof claims. Don't ever plan to ride in rain but I will say they are comfortable to wear off the bike. They look good under a pair of jeans too.

I noticed you still have the first generation clutch cable with the 'kinks' in it.  Keep an eye on it as those are notorious for fraying inside the sheath, it may never happen but there were many reports where it did.  There was a revision with an -02- in the part number.

Fixed!

Here is some info.

 

I went ahead and ordered the replacement cable today. Thanks again for the heads up.

Thanks for the heads up @betony. Should I have it replaced? Is it any easy fix?

Where did you send your ECU to have it flashed? Cost? 

Forgive my silly question. I was on my phone and didn't realize you had answered said question.

MZS brake and clutch levers. Cheap ($27 on ebay) and easy mod. Not sure if I like the short clutch lever quite yet. I do like the look though.

Helmet lock from Amazon ($20) looks like stock.

Cosmo radiator guard and guardian bell.

Cosmo GPS holder from ebay. Perfect position right above speedo.

Cosmo mirror extenders from ebay. 

FJR foot pegs from Amazon. Cheap ($10) and easy mod. 

Cosmo radiator guard. Just received today. Will put on soon. Thanks to betoney for the suggestion.

My first little ride outside the Memphis area. Nice 90 mile roundtrip up to Brownsville, TN through Somerville, TN and back home. It was warm but quite windy. Couple of places I felt like the bike was going to leave the ground!

That's good then. I bought the 7/8. Haven't used it yet though

The Driftless region is great riding. 

I use a Go Cruise throttle control on the FJ-09. While not cruise control it does give my right hand a brake. Cruise and a bigger tank would be the reason(excuse) to consider a Tracer GT. 

Hey Donk, did you get the 7/8 or the 1 inch Go Cruise?

I also had a 2006 FZ1 - Liquid Silver.  Top of the line suspension and a custom dyno tune, I loved that bike!  Unfortunately I hit a deer and totaled it.

Totaled the bike or the deer? 😁

Welcome to the forum @MemphisTracer be prepared for your credit card to melt. But it's worth it you have the best color ever put on an FJ09, enjoy!

Believe me I know! This makes the third Yamaha I have owned. 2007 FZ6, then 2006 FZ1. Both red! And they both received much of my paychecks!

I did the same thing last fall - left over 2015 with no miles - $6700 out the door.  However, you will need that savings to pay for all the stuff you didn't know you needed until you bought this fine machine.  I think I may have doubled the cost of mine getting it to where my OCD mind says it should be.  And apparently I'm not done yet

I hear ya. I paid $6999 out the door. Been looking at loads of mods every day!
