If it's easy to pull and put a patch on the onside do that. That tire is too new to replace...... Oh yeah, nice no chicken chicken strips there bud. You can tell it's hot down Houston way. The tire is erasered even in the center.......hot roads...... Edited August 16, 2020 by tktplz 2 1 Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun!

Ever. 50 feet from the driveway, and it was apparent something was amiss... steering like a truck, TCS flashing away. Yes, that’s TWO separate nails in the same tire. Time to play everyone’s favorite game: ‘Plug, Patch, Replace?’ Get a new tire. Your life is worth 140 bucks at least! Plus, every time you roll past 90 mph you don't want distracting "I got a plugged tire" thought to ruin the fun. 1 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Went for a camping trip. Riding great. Sleeping on the ground not so much! 2 1 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you doing about your highway pegs now? Weren't you using a pair of crash bobbins on the front engine mounts for that purpose? However, I guess you have the bars now to mount a pair of actual pegs to. Looks good. After getting them installed, I did a 'test fit' in the garage. The top portion is large enough to rest my feet flat like a step or floor board and the forward mount portion is still wide enough to rest the back of my ankles on like I did before. 👍 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they are all the same but I don't see that listed on RD Motos website. I have the Heed crash bars and love them, plus I can rest my legs on them when I need a stretch! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I do like the look of them, nice and protective of the expensive bits. I could be tempted to switch to those instead of the ones I have at the moment, especially if you can have a stretch out with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you posted that, I went out and looked and yes, it does block access to the top half. I guess that side will have to be removed every 25-26k miles. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower crash bars for Yamaha MT-09 / MT-09 Tracer 900 / GT. At the time(May 2020) they ended up costing me $253.26 Canadian, which also included shipping.

The leg rest isn't perfect of course, but it's good enough for a couple of minutes to give the legs a stretch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hosed in fact that the bars betony bought aren't even offered to us Aussies - Does not ship to Australia! Probably because after shipping and tax it would be cheaper to pay off your house! 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The postage is probably the killer bit though, and I dunno how you'd work it out. But the offer is there if it is any use. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
