Premium Member jimf Posted August 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 25, 2015 My dealer just got back to me and quoted September 30. (...) I'm trying Cucamonga and the suggestion of someone on this forum (who will be nameless because I already can't remember who, but thank you! :-) because "what the hell." The worst that happens is that they can't get them either. Cucamonga (aka yocracing.com) just got back to me and said that it's on "National backorder" until September 30. So, no luck there either. 2015 FJ-09 (Mary Kate) 2007 Daytona 675 (Tabitha, ret.) 1998 Vulcan 800 (Ret.) 2001 SV650S (Veronica, Ret.) 2000 Intruder 800 (Ret.)

Premium Member keithu Posted August 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 25, 2015 Another data point: I ordered my heated grips at Power Yamaha in Sublimity, OR in May. I just received them two weeks ago and installed them this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ville Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 They do hit the windshield, when doing garage maneuvers, but in normal day to day riding they don't. I did remove them while installing it, but it looked so ugly I went ahead and put them back on and see how bad it was, and it's acceptable, at least to me they are far from intruding in any riding maneuver, and I just try to be careful in the garage. Anyway, I did order the handsavers from puig, I really like how they look. I agree the hand guards from puig look really good with the windshield. I wanted to order them but they are not carried by BS motorsports, where I had to order the screen. I have not found anywhere to buy them. I had the same problem I order directly from a PUIG distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All y'all will hate this: I haven't yet installed the grips! I'll do it mid September, after the Canadian Assault. FJ-09, 690 Enduro R. Back Roads. Period.

Maybe availability will improve next year... //QED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member cman Posted August 26, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 26, 2015 Installed my new Cal-Sci Touring windscreen and took it for a quick ride to get some dinner. I think I'm going to like it. Had it in the lowest setting and the seat in the higher setting (I'm 6'3") and I could ride at 50mph with the visor open and when I ducked down it was completely quiet. I think I'll run it in the highest setting and the seat in the lower setting when I use it... it's still to warm here for a tall screen. Also removed my R&G Bar Ends (I didn't like the gap) and installed some Kawasaki ones like deersSlayer did in this post: http://fj-09.org/post/14239 I like the look better. We'll see how the vibrations are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member cman Posted August 26, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 26, 2015 Rode into work today. Does that count? Not so sure I like the screen at 70-80 mph. Some buffeting and kinda a roar in the helmet, but the buffeting may has been because of traffic. Looks like I'll have some "testing" to do this weekend.

Felt soo dumb luckily I don't think anyone noticed lolLOL, don't feel bad. The first few weeks I was getting used to my new FJ, I must have stalled it half a dozen times. And I've been riding motorcycles 30+ years!! 2015 Stealth Grey FJ-09 Pilot Base of Operations: Chesterfield, VA Farkels? Lots, nothing flashy, but all functional...

moose Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Today I installed a Garmin Nuvi handlebar ball mount and the SW-Motech quick lock tank ring. I started to drill the holes for the mounting bracket on the Motech day bag, but my drill died . Tomorrow I should have everything mounted up and I'll take a few pictures.

vince Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hit 3k today so figured it was time to set the sag from close to 30% of travel with me on it. Dialed out the 10mm extra that was there when delivered to me. Also removed the couple mm of free play that appeared in the throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilist Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I finally got around to putting on some rim tape. Unfortunately, I'm dumb and bought the non-reflective type. As you can see, I like the colour red... //QED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mikengrace Posted August 27, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 27, 2015 I installed a Evotech radiator guard. It was fairly straight forward, even without any instructions. You have to pull off most of the front bodywork To get to where it mounts. But it is not difficult and I feel it is worth it. I looks nice and appears that it will protect the radiator from all but the biggest rocks or debris. Mikengrace. 2015 Yamaha FJ-09. SWmoteck crash bars, OEM front and rear axle sliders, Second OEM electrical plug in, Garmin GPS and mount, Powerbronze lower chin fairing, accessory battery pig tail, Evotech radiator guard. Evotech clip on tank bag. Fully farkled 2013 Kawasaki KLR650, to keep it company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
