      andz

      I bought the bar ends from the naked MT-09 when I took my handguards off.

  3. any problems with the Cruise C. ?
  4. I like the sound of this ,,,had no idea something like this was even available ,,,I hit horn when I want T S and visa versa ,,can you provide a link thanks
  5. Just wanted to say thanks for this post and good info ,👍,I was just about to order one from Evotech ,,
  6. As long as you can crab levers and throttle right?,,thanks for replying ,,one ?? are they same size as stock ..
  7. yup was gonna suggest that ,,adjust that clutch,,I like mine with minimum travel or almost zero freeplay,,start offs are much smoother and controlled and no over revving anticipating engagement ,,plus easier to wheelie
  8. I guess im anal,,,my view glass was black when I got the bike home from dealer ,didn't smell burned just looked like crap,,I dumped it around 300 miles,,I will dump it again around 1500 depending on how it looks ,after that routine changes ,,oil is cheap, Rotella goes for bout $5 a quart ,, cheap piece of mind
  9. which did you get?,are you liking them ? ,im am bout to order the shortys
  10. I can admit when I'm wrong,,,it was a brain typo,,,thanks
  11. HUH ?? 1000,is a thousand 🧐Einstein
  12. Same ,,got home from dealer didn't look great so changed it,,changed again at 1000k ,,3rd change it looked good
  13. doesnt do much for us short guys ,hahahah
  14. hahah after reading some of these comments good luck ,,wow,,so that was one of the first things i noticed on my 2020,,mine does it do normal freeway speeds you dont have to be behind a truck ,,all it takes is some side or head winds for me,when the leaves on the trees arent moving around the bike is fine ,{i use them as a gauge} just for the hell of it i purposely got in the draft of an 18 wheeler and it was really bad ,,i mean ya thats to be expected right but this was a little nerve racking ,,,,I wanted out so i downshifted to 4th and blew by him only to come flying up alongside a sneaker cop in a black unmarked ford,, those guys are hard to spot,,anyway i backed off at 85 mph ,,he tailed me for a bit and that was that ,,i got lucky that day. i had open road ahead and was gonna ride it out for a bit . so i took off the gaurds cause i dont like the looks of them and they dont seem to serve much purpose ,,but that didnt make a diff,,i cut about 5 inches off screen cause it sucks,,that didnt make a diff and i lowered forks 4mm and that didnt make a difference ,,i think its like someone else said shitty aerodynamics
  15. haha yes i know that ,,i was referring to Ride Ons blocks on this page ,,so all three stock ones are different,,,,your old ones only locked in the axle on one side it appears where as mine are kinda like your aftermarket ones being locked in on both sides , when i am able to send a photo we can revisit this mystery ,,it will give you something to look forward to .LOL so being as the adjusting bolt serves no purpose other then adjusting chain im sure its fine that not all of the bolt head is sitting against the meat of the block,,but id does make me wonder why its like that
  16. interesting ,,I dont have that thinner plate ,,not that its that big a deal i guess ,,less weight right ,,hahah
  17. Im curious how you know its an FY,,other than the block the only diff i see is the singular notch,,,mine has two .,{notches} top and bottom,,I cant sent a photo at this time but if you were to remove that plate where the adjuster bolt head sits against thats what mine looks like .
  18. loosing those pumpkins really makes a diff,,,Looks nice,,,I just got rid of my fz07 for this same bike ,,I like the tank pads ,,had em on the 07 ,,I find myself using them alot more on this bike ,,the lower ones anyway,,. so how many miles as of now? im guessing well past break in ,,notice any vibrations on the upper end of rpms while hard on gas ? looks nice ,,im gonna go wash mine hahah
  19. Its interesting to see the difference in adjusting blocks here ,,mine doesnt look like either one of the photos in this topic.For instance can you tell me the spot where your bolt head is sitting against ,,is that a separate piece or is it molded with the block,,my 2020 does not have that thinner peice and therefor the adjusting bolt head is not making full contact and is actually hanging outside the block by a third ,,the other side a 1/4 thanks
  20. Measuring center to center always clears up any confusion for me ,,however i am very confused on what you are explaining ,, "I put a length of vinyl tape that runs along the side of the axle slider placed such that the tape edge runs even against the front of the slider where the screw head rest. A picture is worth a 1000k words
  21. Seems all on back order ,,,im curious are these the same length as OEM? thanks
  22. are you willing to share where you got them?😀
  23. one would think right ,,those thinks scare the crap out of me
