norcal616 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Put the battery back in the bike after pulling it before winter, fired up on first hit of the starter button... my riding will be limited to in-town errand runs during the middle of the day when it's warm out...now I gotta reset the dash board and probably the cruise control... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member betoney Posted March 2, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted March 2, 2018 I installed some silver reflective rim stripes. However at certain angles they almost look blue. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them or switch to the silver non-reflective that is a normal silver color. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bonus visibility is unquestionable. 2015 Stealth Grey FJ-09 Pilot Base of Operations: Chesterfield, VA Farkels? Lots, nothing flashy, but all functional...

Taylor33 custom rim tape to match my blue fj-09. The tape is highly reflective and high quality. https://www.customtaylor33.com/shop/blue-high-intensity-rim-tape/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcal616 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Rode the red bike for the first time in 5months... just enough time to forget how quickly them rpms climb ?. .. now I kinda dislike driving my truck, feels like I'm moving fast as molasses... it's also been just long enough the locale populace perks up like a radar as soon as they hear a motorcycle... on the subject of rim tape...how bout a TRON bike? 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member betoney Posted March 3, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted March 3, 2018 *cough*not a red bike *cough* only 1 red wheel *cough* I like it. The different color on the lip of the rim gives just the right amount of separation between the tire and rim. Maybe complete the look with the red model sticker on the radiator shroud. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrygirafe Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Received a GIVI XS307 tank bag from Revzilla. Pretty nice bag, but it doesn't seem to line up straight, and that bothers me more than it maybe should. Probably going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have some adjustment on the bottom. See if the holes in the brackets are straight. Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to the Revzilla people, and they're going to try and warranty it for me, which if yours is on straight I'd be pretty happy about that. I really like the size of the bag.
