I'm jealous. Enjoy your ride! Scott - that is the exact route we are going to take across Utah toward Colorado. I have only been through Northern Utah before and never Colorado, looking forward to the Million Dollar Highway into Durango. 1 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member micah2074 Posted August 10, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted August 10, 2019 Today we did UT 12. Bryce Canyon, Escalante, Dixie NF, and Zion. We zig zagged across Southern Utah. It doesn’t disappoint. 5 3 Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh, what is that, a 1,000 mile day? What's the prestige above Iron Butt? Titanium Butt? Inconel? This will make my 4th iron butt.

fj09viking Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Replaced Motodynamic flushmounted front turn signals with CNC Racing Sky turn signals. Used Evotech mounting brackets (required drilling out to 10mm, but available from same shop as lights, so free shipping), TST connectors, TST relay. All straight forward except wire colors were reversed on TST connectors, which I only discovered after wiring everything together. I did plug into bike and discover before reassembly of sidepanels and bike, so no biggie. Nothing new here, but as great as the Motodynamic turn signals look, they are not very visible from the front. Not a safety issue, but every time I went to turn right off a street if there was a vehicle waiting to pull out from right side, they would sit there until I started my turn, which told me they could not see turn signals or was questioning what they were looking at. Someone that does not ride cant be expected to know where to look on a bike for turn signals either. The fact that half of the lights are dedicated to running light and half to turn signals does not help either. If everything flashed when using as turn signals it would have helped. It is also an invitatation for the police to pull you over of course. Edited August 11, 2019 by fj09viking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to go educate myself in how to post a video and had a very long day, but give me a day or two. FYI they do not double as running lights. Turn signal function only, look clear when off as per my picture and flash bright orange. Lens/light wrap around outer part of turn signal. So posting pictures won't really do them justice. In the meantime here is another picture. Edited August 13, 2019 by fj09viking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also an invitatation for the police to pull you over of course. I had the same issue with the Motodynamic lights up front. On the FJ-09, it's not the location, but the brightness of the lights and the on/off contrast. You can barely tell they're blinking. I rewired the running lights LED wire to the signal wire, so I don't have running lights. But the change in drivers knowing what was going on was immediate. There's no question to the "Is it flashing?" and with ALL of the LED lights flashing, it's brighter. I still intend to replace with Proton 500's at some point, but it's lower on the priority list now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might do that and move the CNCs to the rear of the bike over the winter. Right now I only have the Motodynamic integrated tail light, mainly because I did not see any turn signals that I liked, and that would clear both my Givi side cases and the outer edge of the larger Canadian license plate. I also installed the DB killer in my Comp Werkes exhaust today. Still sounds good and my neighbours will hate me a little less no doubt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Fitted AIS blanking plates in an attempt to stop the irregular running on deceleration since fitting the Scorpion exhaust. A straight forward job that took 1hr 45 to remove bodywork, tank, fit plates and then refit everything. No chance to ride the bike unfortunately. Here’s the kit, the blanking plates in place and the removed pipework. 1 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

jdavis Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 KTM handguards fitted today, waiting for a ride day to test them out. They look good though. Second hand off a demonstrator bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
