Premium Member martyl Posted December 17, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted December 17, 2017 Riding the snot out of it and lovin' it!!! Just turned 28,000 miles. By the way, my seat from," Terry's custom seats" is great! After what I've been through with seats, Terry has saved me from parting ways with my FJ09. A Motorcyclist's Church is the open road....

Getting a seat custom made specifically for you completely changes your riding experience. If I ever get another bike, I will absolutely get another custom seat made. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhpowell Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I ordered some OEM Decals from a Grey 15 FJ-09 for my Black 16 FJ-09 and got them on. The Decals were the only thing that was red on the Bike and I wanted to keep with the Grey/Black theme. I also ordered flush mounted Turn Signals which will be protected by the engine gaurds if the bike ends up on the ground. I got them both installed. Few before and after photos to see the Lights head on and a close up of the decals. Took all of 45 mins to get the lights and the Decals on.

nicksta43 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Flushed the brake fluid and changed the coolant. Also took the time to clean it for the first time in a couple months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that oncoming traffic will have no idea of your intention to turn now. Piedmont of NC '15 FJ-09 '94 GTS-1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the exact same flush mount signals and quickly realized the same thing, you cant see them, oncoming traffic will have no visual clue to your intentions. The stock signals went back on. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those were flush mounts that stuck out so someone coming at you in the daylight could see them, I may do the same, but I'm concerned that my visibility would be reduced with the flush mounts you have installed. I'm more concerned about my life and what I do to potentially cause it to be at risk. People say they don't see motorcycles. Studies show that people don't look for and don't see motorcycles. These flush mounts just increase the possibility of someone not seeing you. Just concerned about someone making changes to their bike that reduce their visual present while making a turn in front of a car. I know you have thought about this and made your decision, but I wanted you to think about it some more, as friendly advise from an old fart with past experience. Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R.

raggededge Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Changed oil with Shell Rotella T6. Washed her down, then gave the chain a thorough deep-cleaning with kerosene and PB Blaster before lubing. And then went for a ride. This time of year is about the only time I'm glad I live in FL What did you use to cover the gold on the forks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kernowjim Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I urge you to postpone your visit until July, August or September. You will quickly rule out those months (maybe June as well)! Had a couple of weeks over there in August several years ago - never again! We now pop over in the winter months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kernowjim Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 @builderbob Do you get over to Daytona Bike Week at all? I've managed to visit there the last two years and will be in Orlando for that week in 2018 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to visit there the last two years and will be in Orlando for that week in 2018 too I used to do the Bike Week/Biketoberfest thing, but haven't for some time. During those times I tend to go west and away from the crowds. My little town (DeLand) is pretty close to the action. Give me a shout if you're in the area.

Where would you recommend for buying motorcycle clothing in your area? Things are generally cheaper in the USA than the UK and I'd like any opportunity to pick up a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhpowell Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 @clint , @redfjniner , @betoney Thank you guys for the concern and heads up. The thought has crossed my mind, and you are not the 1st one to mention this to me. I ride with a great group of guys most of the time and will ask their opinions when we ride together next. If they confirm the suspicion the Stock signals will go back on until I find the proper solution. That being said - anyone have any suggestions for smaller blinkers that are visible? @hawkeye have you had anyone you ride with mention your turn signals? I noticed you have the same ones I have installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly geared toward the Harley crowd, but I believe there is a smattering of other motorcycling interests there as well. Other than that, there are the typical dealerships in the Daytona area and chain stores like Cycle Gear, where you might find some things that you are looking for. Like most, however, I do my shopping online. If you find yourself over this way, I can show you some lesser frequented, but more rewarding places to ride. Florida is pretty flat and boring, but there are a few surprises as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
