Supporting Member texscottyd Posted July 16, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted July 16, 2019 A good friend just picked up a new GSX750S, and he had the day off from work today. Being the loyal friend I am, I called in sick to work myself, and we proceeded to put about half of the break-in miles on his new bike. That’s what friends are for, right? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could not justify spending $600 on my helmet while not equally complementing with the latest state of the art protection which covers an many other vital organs. Even the deductible on my insurance warrants the extra 500-600 of protection over what I wear today. Give a review after I get it Wednesday.

Kinda timid with a $1200 jacket that wife knows nothing about. Sold my son on the investment immediately. Lol. It’s been registered and is charging via USB. More to come for sure. I can’t function well on my iPad as I can on my laptop. First time zipping it up was interesting to say the least. So how does one review an airbag jacket??? I guess I need to go out and do one of the following: High-side myself, low-side myself, T-bone someone, or get rear-ended. I can handle 3/4 there. Anyone here want to rear-end me?

One of my riding buddies bought a red one same model and he loves it! It's a surprisingly comfortable sport bike we cranked out a long 400 mile day not long after he got his! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fj09viking Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Hi everyone. Been lurking for a few weeks. Took me a month and cost me about $1,500 to read the first 326 pages to get caught up! Learned a ton thanks to everyone's contributions. Installed Sato Racing bar ends and eBay shorty levers. Happy with both. More play in levers than I'd like, but I guess that is why they were $30 and not $150. Did bar ends as part of removing hand guards as I found that bike became unstable on hwy in turbulence from other vehicles. Took it out for a ride and can say it definitely made a difference. I have also raised forks 15mm to help alleviate stability issues at higher speeds and that made a big difference as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Yesterday I went for a ride after work. The road was smooth and twisty... and covered in gravel!!! Made it quite frustrating to be honest.. Note picture was taken at a pull out off the road, I was not in fact, on a gravel road. 1 '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
