prn Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hello All, Great forum! I have learned a lot from reading many threads. Thank you all for sharing your experience, tips, and tricks. I just purchased used 2015 FJ-09 with 1500 miles on it, will be receiving it from dealer coming Tuesday after heated grip installation. I am relatively new to riding, got my endorsement last year and since then riding Suzuki S40. FJ-09 will be my first real bike ;-) Not sure if this is a good place to ask this question but I am not able to decide between Givi TN2122 and SW-MOTECH Crash Bars, I want something that will do a good job of protecting bike but also easy to install as I am not good with tools. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DavidS Posted March 19, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 19, 2017 Welcome aboard, congrats on your new bike. I can't comment on which crash bars are more effective, but I like the Givi's better from an aesthetics perspective. Of course, that's just my opinion, others will gladly disagree. Glad to have you join us, poke around a bit, and you will find all kinds of information you never thought you needed........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruster8999 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Congrats on your purchase. I have the sw motech which are good but wont protect the engine cases as well as givi or higdonion. If you have your heart set on the sw motech I will sell you mine( I live in vancouver wa) when I get my higdonion next month but if I were you order the higdonion.

Supporting Member betoney Posted March 21, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted March 21, 2017 Welcome. You live in the middle of motorcycling nirvana! There is ridiculously good riding in pretty much every direction from you. Do yourself a favor and spend several days exploring Central and Eastern Oregon, I spend a good portion of my vacation days every year riding in Oregon, it never gets old to me. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everything from Maupin, Shaniko, Fossil, Condon, Heppner, and Enterprise is fantastic! Just avoid the interstates! And dont be afraid to cross the border and ride WA14 along the Columbia River for a more relaxed ride. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member joeszup Posted March 22, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 22, 2017 Welcome from a few miles NORTH! I'm in Vancouver WA. If you see a fast(er) FJ-09 (I got the red one), throw a wave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
