wordsmith Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 @wordsmith - I don’t typically go for that kind of thing, but gotta admit I really like the rim decals in this case. I have a spare set of wheels, so may look into doing something similar with a pair. Just do it!

southerndandy Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Mounted swingarm spools. Very nice with the pitbull rear stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksta43 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Installed my new Givi barn door. I think it looks good but I don't really care about how it looks. What I care about is how well it will block the cold morning air. I'll find out how well it works on the way into work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFartessa Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Changed the oil, cleaned it well, put it in the back corner of the garage and covered it. The Strom will be the winter ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted December 2, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted December 2, 2017 I changed the oil and filter last week when I installed the A/S clutch, today I flushed the coolant and brake fluid. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksta43 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Finished installing the Oxford grips then test rode it for a while seeing what it's like with the new Givi touring screen at each different height at 75mph. Some very loud buffeting in all heights but it's much quieter with my helmet visor open in all positions. With it closed it sounds like my head is inside a bass drum. I like the sight lines much better with it in the low position but it buffets nearly twice as badly than in the highest position. If I slouch slightly with it in the highest position I'm completely in clean, quite air but I have to look through the screen which I don't like. I think some fettling will get it sorted. It is much better than stock as far as blocking wind and the loudness of the buffeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckaduck Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 How do you like the heated grips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksta43 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 How do you like the heated grips? [/quoted] I think I'll like them. The reason I say that is it was 80°f yesterday so I don't know what it's like in the cold. I will say that even on the lowest setting, 30%, I could feel it through my summer gloves. It's not uncommon for it to be in the 30s in the mornings here but warm to in the 70s for my ride home at this part of the year so I think they are going to be a big help.

koth442 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Got a chance to go for a ride yesterday! Its December and 60 degrees here in MO. Super rare, but very welcome. Hopefully I have time to get out again today. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted December 10, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted December 10, 2017 I finally flushed the OEM brake fluid. I used the Harbor Freight pneumatic bleeder and it was a breeze. I still hate hydraulics maintenance. Afterwards I celebrated by putting a bunch of deliciousness on the smoker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like basic salt and pepper rub on the chicken, but what did you stuff the jalapeno poppers with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted December 12, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted December 12, 2017 The rub on the chicken also had some brown sugar and Slap Ya Mama. The ABTs (Atomic Buffalo Turds) are sweet peppers stuffed with Italian sausage, cream cheese, onion, and a few other things then wrapped in bacon. Normally they are done with jalapenos, yes, but unfortunately my gut decided a few years ago that it can't handle jalapenos. Other hot peppers? No problem. But jalapenos always turn out badly in the end, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
