Installed a Blaster-X tail light assembly last weekend. What a difference and worth every penny.

You’ve inspired me:  Tomorrow I shall go in search of authentic breakfast tacos!  

They have to be made in an old gas station to be authentic.

New Lextec rearsets installed on Saturday!  (And also found a really nice, quiet and picturesque spot in the mountains to relax for a few minutes).  They're really well made and come with the brake light switch bracket included, so there's no loss of street functionality.

I'm weird... and I like my legs a little more folded.  I tended to get some muscle fatigue and knee pain and would often put the toes of my boots on the stock pegs to raise my heals.  I also never had that "thighs locked in" feeling with the FJ-09 and my knees would squeeze at the fake carbon plastic bits with very little other contact.  It's all fixed with these and after riding 250 miles up into the mountains on Sunday, I had less fatigue and knee pain!

Side effect of a much changed position is a LOT more confidence in the feel of the bike under me and when it's leaned over.  Sore thighs and back on Monday, but that will change as the muscle groups are conditioned.

One thing to note:  I don't have my passenger pegs installed.  When I was on the balls of my feet with my the stock pegs, my heals would sometimes brush/contact the passenger footrest assemblies.  I don't know how much that would interfere, if at all.

 

And if I hadn't already bought the rearsets, I'd be buying your exhaust =(      Seriously, with the Yosh and 2WDW holiday sale happening, it's a great deal.  But I've gotta save my fun-fund back up first.

I see the foot peg sits a lot higher than the stock one. On the Tracer you're going to have to watch out because it means that you will loose the feeler before you catch the centre stand on the ground during cornering.

Hello cspradin, what horn is that?

Denali Soundbomb Split.  There's a couple posts around with good install instructions that I (mostly) followed.  Pretty painless and you only need a 4mm hex/allen bit and I think a 10mm socket for the horn mounting nut.

True!  I removed the centerstand a long time ago as well and forgot about that!
