  1. I did a K-Tech razor rear shock and Andreani fork cartridges, Galfer rotors, Competition Werkes Slip-on and a Ivan ECU flash. I now have a different bike. AWESOME.... I got the bike for 6,000 and it came with hard cases, put 2,000 in it so far. Worth every penny.
  2. OMG, I dropped my FJ in the parking lot at a hardware store. Slow rolling and turning to sharp, aaaaahhhh..... Smashed my slip-on. I guess if I very litely buff it, maybe it will come out but it's bent also.
  3. 2.5 years later. Hey! I did and I love it. It's loud but I did get the Baffle and wrapped it with fiberglass cloth. Eye and ear candy.....
  4. I have the 2015 FJ-09 with 20,000mi. It has the ear ringing 3rd and especially 6th gear whinging but it's ok. I love my bike, got a great deal.
  5. I feel like I just got a good deal but it's from the Amaconn who I dumped a couple years ago because of their political beliefs and free speech suppression of Parler so I got a friend to check and he found this for 135 shipped. Hey, you got to save however you can these days.
  6. I wonder if this could apply to loud bikes? Probably. https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/02/18/surveillance-state-new-york-city-deploys-cameras-with-microphones-to-ticket-loud-cars/
  7. This tire will be going on next, $135 with shipping was a good deal I thought.
  8. I got the Baffle and still had to wrap it but it's perfect for me now... It's much better eye candy too...
  9. Me too! I'm glad I got Competition Werkes! I love, love, love it!
  10. I used the stock header and painted it black because some surface rust was impossible to get off for me. It wasn't as hard to do as I thought but still took me about 4 hrs, not rushing it. I'll do some more pics
  11. It's very loud even if you get the $40 Baffle so I wrapped it with fiberglass cloth and it's still loud but not too bad. It sounds great!
  12. It's funny how Performance candy can be such eye candy
  13. I also enjoyed the write up Mark. Wow,what a first ride. I got my 2015 FJ-09 last July and my first ride was in 92° heat for about 100 miles. After about 20 minutes my right hand went numb and my butt hurt already. So I've fixed that stuff with a new Sargent seat and a ECU flash that totally transformed my bike, even fixed the handle bar vibration. I've done a lot to it, Galfer rotors, Competition Werkes Slip-on, K-Tech rear shock, Andreani cartridges in the front that I haven't installed yet.
  14. Oh really. I'll check into that. The cheapest slipper clutch that I've found is $780 https://biohazardcycles.com/yoyodyne-t22503-mt09-slipper-clutch-kit-mt-09-fz09-14-21/
  15. Also, my clutch was slipping so I ordered the OEM plates and springs off Partzilla. $250. Watched a couple YouTube videos and tackled it myself. The old plates were fine so it must have been the springs but I put the new in anyway and it works great. Sometime in the summer I might do the slipper clutch. I need a new rear for the summer so there's one on Amazon, Pirelli Angel ST $125. Going with a 190/ 55-17. Good looking tire and great price. I only got 4 to 5000 miles out of a Shinko Raven but I only payed $97 for it on Amazon. I really don't like buying off of that site because they are anti free speech and pro Communist but they have great deals.
  16. I purchased my 2015 fj-09 in July and from then I've put a BMC airfilter in and cut the snorkel half way up in the air intake box. Then replaced the seat, Sargent seat an the rear shock with a K-Tech and cut off the muffler and slipped on a Competition Werkes. Now I've replaced the rotors with Galfer wave and HH Sintered pads front and back. I also put a sump guard on it. Next is Andreani fork cartridges and ECU flash.
  17. Does many go up a size on the back tire?
  18. Hello, so I purchased a 2015 fj09 about 3 weeks ago. It had a wore out rear tire when I got it so I went up a size and did a 190/50 17 Shinko 009 Raven. It rides great but the bars have vibration that makes my thumb, index and middle fingers on my right hand go numb after 20 minutes of riding. I'm thinking about going up on the front to a 130/80. I'm kind of a taller guy and have the seat up also
