Guest dmizer Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Finally (after more than 25000 km) took my bike to a good shop to have my suspension professionally adjusted to my weight (including oil amount and weight). I thought this bike was nimble in the corners before. Wow. I realize I could do better with after market suspension, but I'm extremely happy with the stock suspension now that it's more properly adjusted.

zachd Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I finally got the remainder of my Givi parts from Italy. So I finished installing my sidebags. The only thing missing in the pictures is my Givi XS308 tank bag. Here's a quick pic. I'll have a more detailed thread in the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db5304 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Zachd, what kind of seat cover is that? Does it slide around at all? Does it get hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it get hot?You might try http://alaskaleather.com/collections/sheepskin-buttpads . Had one on my V Strom, they are cool and comfortable. Not so good if left out in the rain though.

zachd Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Zachd, what kind of seat cover is that? Does it slide around at all? Does it get hot?The post above was spot on. Nope, doesn't slide at all, nor does it get very hot, even here in the scortching AZ sun. Sucks when you get caught in the weather though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member aggiedaddy Posted October 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted October 25, 2015 Sat in the garage and watched down pours here in Texas. Gee. Really love this bike, just had it about 1 month. Heading to the hill country next week with it. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Today, fitted crash knobs, factory heated grips and factory second accessory power point to charge phone (other one running GPS). Also ditched origional hand guards for Bark Buster Storm guards but not totally sold on the look yet. Certainly looks a lot less bulky in the front tho. Will test them tonight.

mcycleguy45 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Today was a sad day. Insurance is done and it is snowing North of here. So.........it was in with the fuel stabalizer, on with the battery tender, clean lube and polish everything, on with the motorcycle cover and into storage for several months. The long cold Canadian winter is here! Oh well, now it's time to prowl the internet for farkles!!! I will be able to spend some quality time with the FJ in the garage!

richlandrick Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I designed, made, and installed mirror extenders and a bolt on larger side stand foot. The mirror extenders suprised me a little. I started at 1.25" and wound up at 2" before I got to a good length. I will be listing them in supporting vendor section soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Trambo Posted October 26, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted October 26, 2015 Posting a bit after the fact, this was Saturday but still happy with the results. Took a lovely ride up to the Blue Ridge Parkway with old friends and added 336 new miles to the clock, and broke the 3K mark as well. Had a blast, the FJ continues to impress me as a lightweight sport-tour platform and never ceases to be stupid fun in the process. It was chilly all day, I never once turned the heated grips off that day, nor will I ever own another motorbike without them. 2015 Stealth Grey FJ-09 Pilot Base of Operations: Chesterfield, VA Farkels? Lots, nothing flashy, but all functional... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
