jez Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Traded my S10 in for a Tracer a month ago as the weight of the S10 was causing me probs. After a month living with the Tracer I'm very happy with it, even if the build quality is below the S10, but the Tracer was a lot cheaper so I was prepared to accept that.Love the engine of this thing and I really appreciate its light weight. Had a rack thrown in on the deal and I've just fitted crash bungs. Just gotta get a rad guard and a Givi pannier rack to use my Givi E36 sidecases occasionally and the bike will be complete for me. I find the seat and screen fine, so no more expense there. Jobs a good un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliment, but I didn't consider the pic anything special myself. Was only taken with an ancient, cheap Fuji bridge camera.

papadage Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Welcome aboard! I cross shopped the FJ against the Ninja 1000 and the FJ won due to weight and insurance. It's also more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jez Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Not a big fan of the hand guards and am liking the look you have there. Which bar ends have have got fitted ? Wasn't keen on the guards myself and they had to be removed anyway for me to get down a narrow allyway to the rear of my house, where I keep the bike in a shed.Bar ends are just some flush fit ones I had knocking about and the bolts that came with them fitted in the bar mounts ok, they were a bit scuffed so I painted them matt black..... Think they were Oxford or Bike Tec. A lot of the aftermarket ones have too small a bolt to fit in the screw mount inside the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks for the info. My shed door is quite narrow so width is a consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
