roadwarrior Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The number one question I'm asked about my Tracer is "how many apples can you get in that 39L top case". Turns out the answer is a heaping bushel along with two pears. Cortland Apples from Bayfield WI. The Cortland Apple is known for it's crisp, juicy, sweet-tart flavor. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted October 7, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted October 7, 2020 Good thing she's a petite thing with little you on there LOL! SA is a very interesting country, filled with raw beauty and massive dichotomies between its native peoples and those that came later but who all love the land and desire a better future for all. My youngest, a veterinarian, volunteered for a while in one of your protected wild animal parks. Good to see you're up and at em finally! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted October 7, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted October 7, 2020 Don't take it hard, and she does look petite. I'm sure my wife of +40 would envy her. Do you know the capacity of our bikes is relatively low, and more controlled suspension is called for with 2 up. Seriously! I definitely dominate my perch so to speak when aboard mine...and I have a taller Sargent saddle, screen* and bars *and a Givi barn door with MRW spoiler for the rather cool climes we experience here... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone called my wife a "petite thing" I would take it as a compliment. An oddly phrased compliment, but a compliment none the less. 1 '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Where the FJ / Tracer's are concerned, "petite" is good. Maybe even essential on the stock suspension. 2 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...

Others have managed without doing it, but I would definitely remove the tank and airbox to make life easy. 1 1 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

No harm no foul, it's fine 😊 She's 5'7" but she didn't get the tall genes, her younger sister is 6'1" Together we are 175kg/386lb (without gear) on stock suspension but it rides just fine.

Thanks! Yeah, I was looking around in there last time I had the tank off, and came to the same conclusion. I’ve been putting it off for too long, so just need to find a free day and go do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
