madsquabbles Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I know exactly which ones you are talking about. I bought the bike and had the same question in my first couple posts. Everything I have been told here is for accessories. I just thought it looked like something was missing from the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it looked like something was missing from the dealer. just part of the trend for modular building - using the same frame for several models keeps costs down. Triumph are masters with this. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
com3 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 so...what accessories would you put in there? pics? links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsquabbles Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 This is what I am thinking. I picked one up but have yet to mount it. http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-272U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfjniner Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 This is what I am thinking. I picked one up but have yet to mount it. http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-272U I would think that anything mounted there for RAM mounts would conflict with the speedo. Try it. I like the Ram balls mounted to the risers: Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R.

Guest dmizer Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The holes are not for the FJ-09. They are for a different bike, the FZ-09. They are used to mount the fz09 headlight. This is the correct answer. Here is a photo of the FZ-09 headlight mount. http://i.imgur.com/2fQw7IC.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhpowell Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 This was a while back that you posted this, but you posted with a photo of the RAM 1in Balls attached to the bars. Do you know if that is the standard M8 bolt with 1.25 thread? I don't want to order one and have it not fit. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
