    Cool.

    Let us know what you find out. Always liked Hindle's quality. Glancing at their website (which is way better than it used to be) - looks like they offer full systems - and you can choose which style and finish of muffler you add to it.

    Full system is only $1.100 for me, tax included and free shipping.

    I'm in Southern Ontario near Toronto. I've been thinking of looking into Hindle or Akrapovic but im trying to decide between a slip on or full system! 

    Im in Whitby so Hindle is close and they have a dyno,my system should be ready in a couple of weeks.Not much choice for slip on as far as I could tell .This will make a great winter project as I have new bars and heated seat pad to install also.

    I got the front end done with springs and valves and the rear end with the K-Tech Razor-R , and I was like yourself, hoping it wouldn't be a disappointment.
    It's amazing. You'll probably not even realise a lot of the time because things are so much smoother all round. The bike will feel remarkably different, and will take you a few rides to really get the feel of it.

    Yes with something this expensive you would hate to be disappointed and not notice any difference.My bike is a 2015 but I bought  it with only 

    6500 km. on it. So the suspension should have been in good shape still,but I thought it could use an upgrade.

    What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?

    Got a source for these?

    Yeah, it's kind of funny.  I find the stock screen is kind of terrible here: It's short enough to direct all the wind at my helmet, but tall enough to keep the wind off my torso so I'm extra hot and so I can't lean on the wind pressure.

    It keeps my chest bug free, though.  That's... Something.

    Yeah.  TBH, I prefer either having a very large windscreen that keeps stuff out of my face, or basically none at all so I can just lean on the wind without buffeting or other such nonsense.  I really dislike the stock screen, but haven't found a short screen I like and isn't silly expensive.

    I got my liners from this guys site,he's in Canada

    Did you change the alignment to make the caliper reading correct?

    I used the Motion Pro alignment tool and then when it was tightened, I double checked with digital caliper and left and right were within 0.02 of each other.  The swingarm marks were off by one full 'tick mark' from side to side.

    YES, the bike needs to be cleaned... 😲

    Hard to tell but are you missing  the washer under the nut?

    Hey Steve

    I purchased my 2015 used so it had a few mods done to it already including Grip Puppies,I was actually thinking of  removing them because my thumb and two brake cover fingers are getting numb.My thinking was that the Grip Puppies might be to big for my hand.I didnt install them so I wonder if they are easy to remove.I did install the Adventure pegs and all the vibration on my feet is gone,I did adjust the brake lever up a bit as the Adventure pegs are a bit thicker.Hope you get time to enjoy your new bike,the engine is amazing.
