mranderson17 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hey, I've been lurking on here without posting for a while so I thought I'd introduce myself. I live in Colorado and am having a blast on my 2015 FJ-09. It's great to see others are enjoying them too! If the attachment works I built a bike rack last week for a camping trip this last weekend. Worked out great and let's me combine my two favorite hobbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forums.Not sure if it's faster in the configuration in the picture...... Although I'm sure it's easier to pop wheelies with all that gear strapped to the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forums.Not sure if it's faster in the configuration in the picture...... Although I'm sure it's easier to pop wheelies with all that gear strapped to the backStrangely it doesn't really change the handling as much as I thought it would. The steering does feel a bit light during low speed turns but everything sorts it self out on the highway and mountain roads that we have here. I'd even go as far as to say it felt planted on the switchbacks on US-40 up to Winter Park. I tried to keep most of the heavy items in the panniers so the dry bag just has a sleeping bag and pillows in it. The red adds 4hp right? =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DavidS Posted August 2, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted August 2, 2016 At Least 4 HP, probably 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
