    My mirrors keep loosening up... granted we're talking when 75mph plus with a headwind... but it's annoying.

    The nut is tight on the stem but the arm itself moves.  There is a nut inside the arm but I don't have a socket that will fit that space, any ideas or just live with it?

    Ok, some how the cap of my mirror came off. Anyone know how I can replace it?

    Unless things have changed with the GT mirrors as opposed to the Gen1 Tracer mirrors - which seems highly unlikely - you leave the inset nut alone, and unscrew the stems from the black nut below, as highlighted in the first pic below.   That's what I'll be doing (based on identical previous installs) when my own mirror risers/ extenders arrive.   Loosen that nut and un-thread the stem vertically.

    But be careful - one side mirror stem has reverse thread, but I cannot recall which one it is!   When you suss that out yourself, please post here...  LATER EDIT - many here including myself have also added small 2" diameter 'blind-spot' mirrors to further enhance rear visibility... second pic below.

    Two things. One where can I get the plastic cap that sits on top of the mirror? Two, where did you get the blind spot mirrors?

  3. I have loved my other sargent seats but this one I don't. I had a very early one done with the oem  pan. Sits nicely on the bike but they did not do a good job of the forward slope. I called them and they told me that since it was a "custom" job that I would have to send it back and pay another 90+ bucks to get it reshaped. I mentioned that people are saying that early adapters of the seat were getting them fixed for free but not on mine only the one they sell. So I ordered another just rider seat. I got both seats two days ago. The slope was better and the seats look nice but the fit in the tank was driving me crazy. I boxed the seats back up and will be sending them back this weekend. Like I said I loved my Sargent seats on my two other bikes but they just got this wrong. I also feel they should have reshaped my original seat they did for free IMHO

  4. Yeah, I am not loving it and will be sending it back and look for better options. I will use the one they made for me until then. The comfort seat is better than oem but Sargent is slightly better than comfort. Here are some pics of the sargent seat they made which does say FJ-09 on the underside.

  5. I just got my second seat from Sargent. This is the one they made so far on today's commute it felt better than the one they made from my oem seat. I also only ordered the rider seat but they sent me both. With that said I would be willing to let go of the first one I got You can see the pictures of it earlier on this thread. I also have a comfort seat as well. LMK.

    My thoughts exactly.  Ivans flash includes a good fuel map and much, much more for a couple hundred less.  

    I see what you mean now from reading Ivan's page. Heck If the tune is not what I want I can always have it flashed and take the PC out. For now I will give it a try the price of the tune is the same as the price of the flash

  8. Ok the reason is kinda by default. I didn't want to flash my ECU and void my warranty with my dealer. I also wanted a new exhaust system. So I changed out the exhaust and airfilter when my buddy said get a power commander since I made these changes. So I got it the bad news is they are not making any maps for the tracer. So now if I wanted to flash the ECU I would have to sell my PC which I don't want to deal with so that's how I got into the dyno tune. What would I be missing vs the dyno tune and a flash? Never had a bike tuned before.

  9. Hi All,

    For several reasons I decided not to flash my ECU and taking it in to get dyno tuned. Running full yoshi system, K&N air filter and power commander V. I will post the graph outcomes once I do it. Waiting for an O2 cap to be shipped from overseas.

    The guy below did.Thats using the original tracer gt's seat pan.

     

    This is my Tracer and seat. Unfortunately I am not thrilled with it. It is still slanted to forward into the tank. I did order another to see if they made improvements to it if not I will send it back and keep this one for now. I love my other Sargeant seats :( I just spoke to them and they said a couple of more weeks to work out the kinks. I hope it's worth it and I hope they take care of me if I send my original one back later.
