Yeah, I use frame sliders, too, for rests. But, my sliders are back on the mid-frame mount. So, I can rest my calves on them. But, I like your idea better, using the front mount location. Looks like a project this afternoon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I PM'd the seller, he can't/won't say whether they'll fit the GT. I'm assuming they will, but haven't seen an FJ-09 up close to know for sure. Wondering if the frame/engine layout is the same on both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frame mounts are the same for the FJ and Tracer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My legs are long enough that I could rest the back of my boot on them and completely extend my legs to stretch out. 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am riding to the MSTA STAR rally in two weeks and need some leg room every once and a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
