Premium Member builderbob Posted November 23, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm in Winter Park,Fl. We should plan a meet up at the Yahala Bakery sometime in December.Been there recently on the FJ too! Small world! I'd be up for a meet sometime. It will have to be a little later though. I'm recovering from hernia repair surgery and there's no bike riding happening for me for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member martyl Posted November 24, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 24, 2015 Put another hundred miles on her today. Florida weather is perfect right now. In the seventies, clear, with a slight chill in the air. The FJ09 is just singing along. The more I ride her the better she feels. She's so nimble I have to really pay attention. This bike is a blast! Absolutely no complaints... Have to pick the bugs out of my teeth from smiling so much while riding this beast...;-) A Motorcyclist's Church is the open road....

Premium Member wessie Posted November 24, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 24, 2015 haha - in the 70s, slight chill in the air - for those in Celsius, that's in the 20s Reminds me of a December in Florida - wandering around in shorts & T shirt when the locals are all wrapped up in their winter thermals at 21C/70F This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

Premium Member martyl Posted November 24, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 24, 2015 Cold is relative... I went to college in Buffalo,N.Y. So I'm familiar with cold. Living in Florida my blood is thinned out. Great riding weather now... A Motorcyclist's Church is the open road.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I washed the bike today and did a quick detailing. Btw 303 Aerospace Protectant is the best thing you can use for plastics. Armor All sucks and will damage them over time, 303 lasts forever and restores the original finish. It's a little expensive but a bottle lasts forever. Oh yes. My FJR panniers look brand new again too, they were looking a bit dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member martyl Posted November 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 25, 2015 Noticed this morning with bike on center stand that the coolant bottle was at the low mark. Went to the dealer and had them top it off as I just had it in for the first service. No big deal. I bought an extra bottle of coolant and an extra bottle of motor oil while there. Then I went for another hundred miles or so ride out at Daytona. Got caught in the rain on the way back home which turned to sunshine (gotta love Florida weather) and dried me off. Got home, wiped the FJ09 down and then went back to Cycle gear to exchange a modular helmet that just didn't fit me right and was giving me a headache. The helmet I exchanged was Matt Grey but the new one is very bright yellow. I figure screw it, better to be seen... Life is good.... Happy Thanksgiving everyone....

suncoaster Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Replaced the stock horn with a Stebel Magnum (TM80/2). Louder and larger than the original, and without fabricating a bracket only one of the two Stebels will fit (I chose the deeper pitched one). Horny bike !

xpress Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Dropped it off at the dealer to get a new front tire put on it. Went with a Bridgestone T30, same as the rear tire. Won't have my baby for 2 more days :-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnap987 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Have done a few things on my FJ-09. First, installed some Moto Inkz rim decals. It seemed a little too much at first, but I'm liking it very much now. Screw up a little with the back rim, but I have some spares; I guess I'll change it soon, when the ones installed are worn out a little. I also installed T-Rex Racing engine sliders, T-Rex Racing front and rear axel sliders and spools, Yamaha's radiator guard, new tail lights from Motodynamic.com, front fender extender, Yamaha's rear rack, led lights for knuckle guards.

johnap987 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 This is a pic of the led on the knuckle guards. Sorry, don't know how to make this post rotate the image. Below are some videos.

Premium Member martyl Posted November 27, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 27, 2015 What was the procedure for installing the lights on the knuckle guards? What brand? I really like them.
