  1. I am 6'1 and use a Madstad 24" on my 2015 FJ 09. I have been very happy with it. Madstad is a Florida company and had great customer service.
  2. I have had the Scottoiler E system for about 2 years on my 2015 FJ. It has worked very well and the chain is always clean. I get very little oil fling. The customer service (in Scotland) is outstanding. When my bike was transported because of a dead battery, the distribution tube was displaced. I expected to pay for new attachment pieces, but customer service sent me the new pieces free of charge.I highly recommend the product.

  4. I currently have an Aerostitch Darien jacket. I live in SW Florida and wanted a jacket that had Gore-Tex built in waterproof quality. In the summer I wanted to be ready for the sudden rainstorms that typify our weather. I have found it to be excellent weather protection. I formerly used a mesh jacket that required a zip-in liner to keep the rain out. It wasn't practical to have to stop and install the liner when the deluge was about to hit and the outer shell became a soggy mess. Aerostitch has a wide variety of fitments and can be custom made for a perfect fit. Because of the well conceived ventilation system the jacket is comfortable even when the temperature hits 95 degrees.

  6. I originally had the OEM side cases on my 2015 FJ 09. I found them to be well made but functionality was poor. When the bike was on the side stand, accessing the left bag was always difficult. I had to brace the outer clam shell with my knee when loading and unloading. It was also difficult to fully load the bags. After researching other options I selected the Givi Outback Trekker. I have found them to be outstanding in build quality and functionality. I didn't need the removability of the Dolomiti series so the Trekker was my perfect solution. The tie down locations give excellent flexibility. My bike is red and I chose the black color option shown by a previous poster.
  7. I took delivery of my FJ in January 2015 and the battery is still strong. When not in use I keep it on a battery tender.
  8. [div style=text-align:right]I took my first extended ride after installation of the Traxxion Dynamics fork cartridges and Penske rear shock. There was a noticeable increase in handling and management of rough pavement.
  9. I have 2800 miles and no problems. I added a Corbin saddle, ECU flash, Akrapovic exhaust, McCruise Control, Traxxion Dynamics fork cartridge, Penske rear shock and OEM side and top cases. With these additions, it has become my ideal bike.
  10. I have an extra-large full cover from Tourmaster. It fits with the OEM side cases and top case installed. It provides a perfect fit with enough tension to protect from rain. G8r
  11. I have owned the Tourmaster WP boots for about a year. Very confortable for all day wear and extensive walking. It also comes in wide which I found that few do. g8r
  12. Had the dealer install LED light strips in the lens of the OEM 39 liter top case and a 3.25 inch LED light strip on each of the hard bags. Greatly increased visibility to rear traffic. G8r
