Doesn't feel any better than stock. Can't seem to get it dialed in. It is set up for my weight. Had the forks done. Huge improvement. Extending the shock puts more weight on the front end and gets rid of the twitchy feeling, if your nitron isn't a night day difference there is something wrong. Mine was the opposite, all the benfit came from the rear. The front was only a marginal improvement. Edited May 4, 2020 by Buggy Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was at it, installed a Blaster-X brake light, but chose NOT to integrate the turn signals into it. And if that wasn't enough, the Madstad and Engage tank bag came in the mail today as well. It was like Christmas! Now I'm just waiting on the GPS mount. What's that little rear engine hot rod you got there? 1 '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

jdavis Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Fitted one of these brake flashers today (also found out my rear brake switch needed adjustment). Set to several flashes before full light. Plug and Play, about 10 minutes, with a drink.

Anytime I take pictures in my garage, someone ALWAYS asks about that money pit in the corner. LOL. That, friend, is a Superlite Roadster from Race Car Replicas. It's a project that I started about 9 years ago and never completed. It runs, but still needs some work before I would consider it finished. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous experience with a Madstad screen on the Africa Twin showed that their sizing recommendations were just a tad on the short side, so I opted for the larger of their two recommendations for my 6'3" self. I really wanted to go with a tinted shield, but I thought that would throw off the looks too much. I'm happy with my choice from an aesthetics standpoint, but I haven't taken it out yet.

HGP61 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Almost embarrassed to post this, but I did it to my Tracer today so it counts. Wheeled the bike out of the shed to put on 6 wee plastic covers on the head of the Hex head bolts that holds the engine bars. woo hoo. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those are the Cortech Latigo air race boot, I have them in black and they are great summer boots. The white looks sharp! He who dies with the most toys wins.

This is my first "street" boot, first 20 miles was rough getting the feel for shifting up, but they broke in quick, very breathable and i got them for 145 our the door!

Supporting Member betoney Posted May 6, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted May 6, 2020 Since our Governor implemented phase one to lighten up restrictions on outdoor recreation, I went out for 370 miles of much needed "Two Wheel Therapy". Tiger Mountain, Snoqualmie Pass, Canyon Road (through Yakima Canyon) and White Pass.😎👍 6 3 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
