Dodgy Knees Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Totally agree with these personalizing idea's. Whilst on the subject, had my now black side panels off today, just to neaten up previous work. This time though, didn't bother removing indicators, so no need to remove inner cover. Mucho easio. Masked off round badge and indicator. Hang panel from garage roof using inner cover bolt holes and spray away. My edges and lower inside bit were not up to standard. 🙁 Still using matt black rubber spray. K2. If I was an overpaid sportsman I'd probably have one black and one gold. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was an overpaid sportsman I'd probably have one black and one gold. 😉 That's what I was thinking while I was remounting them.... Could really easily mask the indicators and spray away. I was thinking afterwards that the plastidip style coating is probably going to last a bit longer and be easier to repair than vinyl there. At least for me, riding in all weather, those panels get a lot of abuse and the leading super-tight corner looks like a prime failure point for the vinyl. Will see how they hold up, though. As much as I'm really looking forward to the blue, I found the look just with the white gone HUGELY improves the overall look of the bike. The extra color, only on those two small panels, really just doesn't work well. Once they match the plastics on the front and under the tank, the bike looks much, much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That much quick revving power in a smaller hooligan machine will be a hoot to ride. I hope you have decent suspension to keep all of that power under control. 😎👍 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tuned MT07 was a bloody riot, this things pushing almost twice the power. I'd LOVE to give that a whirl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcal616 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I'm really curious if Hordpower will create an airbox for the MT/FJ-09 platform like the FZ/MT-07 platform... maybe we can convince him 1 1 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...

That’s all I can say. Pricy, but takes “all” the guess work out of rear wheel alignment and has precise click adjustments. I've got these little Italian beauties (in black) coming my way for AUD$210! (US$144) in a private sale. Saved about AUD$160 on retail price! Stumbled across the sale by accident by someone who bought them for their bike and changed their mind?! - didn't ask, don't care. I wasn't actually in the market for them but a combination of not really happy with the OEMs after doing a chain adjustment some time back and the good bargain that these presented made my flesh weak! Yep...you all know how it is! Lightech Chain Adjusters 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted January 9, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted January 9, 2020 @dazzler24 you will love the Lightech chain adjusters. I have had them on a couple of my bikes and they make chain maintenance a snap. Make sure you tape the end of the socket you use for the axle nut, it is very easy to scratch the adjuster body if you don't. 2 1 He who dies with the most toys wins.

Wintersdark Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Those look awesome, but absurdly expensive. I'd love to get a good deal on a set, but at almost $300cdn that's insane. Lucky find! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ebay add says they are not compatible with the 2019 GT model. I wonder if there really is a difference? I believe the swing arm was extended 2 inches so maybe there is.
