12ival Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 The gilles are installed! some minor adjusting to my liking and they will be perfect! Looks good! I've got the same bike and exhaust, liquid graphite and Akra Carbon. Is that your FZ-09 too? it's a buddies 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duenan Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Is there a redundancy in having both a FZ09 and FZ07? I'm truly curious how it is owning both. that's my buddies 09.ah ok, you guys ever swap bikes? Engaging with people that have personality disorders on a message board is like arguing with a rock.

Beemer Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Awesome! What kind of beer do you drink?I'm a fan of stuff I haven't tried before and the list is getting smaller and smaller; but I enjoy just about everything from Lagunitas, Revolution, and a few other local (Chicago-area) breweries. I'll be up in Panama City Beach staying at a resort/condo my girlfriend and I rented from the 20th to the 28th. You're up there a ways so I doubt we'll cross paths. Panama should be a nice getaway, though. Been there a few times growing up and it was nice then, probably still is. Enjoy your trip!

There used to be an old naval shipwreck there, partially out of the water. If it's still visible get some pics and post them here. *If you like fishing that's supposedly a good spot just offshore to fish because of the wreck.

go4geoff Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 @castanzarules I have the same flush mounts on my FZ. It's actually quite easy to use them as DRL. The wiring should be black to brown, and yellow to blue. It should now retain the DRL function and blink properly when activated.

The Gilles rear set looks to be not very aggressive at all. It looks almost stock as you have it, but hard to tell for sure. I installed Woodcrafts a couple days ago and have them maxed out at 2.063" back and 1" up. Craig Mapstone Upstate New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a piece of clear tape top to bottom in case. Even though I end up taking three or more screenshots trying to get the bugger off the mount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalprodigy Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 My shifter condom finally arrived today. Installed it and went out for a test ride. Was banging gears with ease. Helps improve the good ol 1st gear > 2nd gear shift fail (neutral). Not a night and day difference but for 99 cents, I can't complain. http://imgur.com/a/nFmnK Only thing that bothers me is the loose end of the shifter condom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timjh Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Put fuel stabilizer in the tank after a 200 mile run to Payson and back (plus a little).

I'm out of town right now and not sure if mines have arrived in mail yet. @darrooh so i rode about 4/5 hours. the rearsets feel great. i adjusted them to my liking and felt fine, smooth and sturdy the whole way. great position for me. my knees had a better grip on the tank and i feel my legs were underneath me more. only thing bad is this damn rock hard seat. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
