I had the Traxxion Dynamics AK-20 fork cartridge and Penske rear shock installed in my bike two years ago when I had about 23,000 miles on my 09 and it was absolutely worth the $ for the upgrade. No more problems with carrying two people or pushing it in the twisties. The bike handles like a...

I had my 09 front and rear suspension work done by Marc Connelly of Adirondacks and Beyond a little over a year ago and it was the best $ I've spent on my bike thus far. I would say that Marc (518-796-8186) is one of the foremost motorcycle suspension experts in the northeast (Lake George, NY)...

Nothing but sunshine and open roads straight to Heaven. RIP brother.

Damn, he nailed me good! I own an 09 FJR and I am a former owner of an 05 Avalon. Guess what? I loved that car as it gave me great bang for my buck with low maintenance, great looks (IMO) and a spacious interior that can only be matched by premium sedans that cost way too much for my budget...

I'm leaning towards getting the aluminum set that Ignacio recommended. I'm just waiting for Jeff at BikeEffects to find out from the manufacturer if the Garmin TPMS won't be too heavy for the stem or fuse onto it. I have a Jeep and swapped out the plastic air valve caps for nicer looking...

Man, this simple add on keeps getting more expensive! Thank you for your advice, but I was sure hoping the answer would have been "you're good!". I guess I'm off to the dealership after I order the new stems.

I recently purchased a pair of the Gamin TPMS so I could take advantage of tire monitor feature of my Garmin 590LM. The instructions say that you need steel air valve stems or risk possible injury. I've changed my tires twice and never requested steel stems so my question is do we need them...

My brother and I have both units (SMH 10 & 20S) and like them very much. However, the 20S does not like rain and will malfunction; rain is not a problem with the SMH10. I'm not sure why Sena released their flagship model 20S knowing that it is barely rain resistant. I need to come up with a...

I have an 09 and it is a fantastic bike! The only way I'd part with it is if Yamaha designs a 1400cc model.

Bill, that's a pretty interesting avatar you got there.

I concur with HotRodZilla; not worth the effort of putting those things back in. I damn near ruined my right bar tube and throttle assembly trying to remove the pressure fitting and after all the trouble I went through my Throttlemeister has never worked as advertised; truly more headaches than...

Sorry to hear about your new bike Red, but I'm really glad you are here to talk about it and laugh at some of the insane posts some of your FJR brothers have posted on this thread. A bike can be fixed or replaced but we can't be replaced or even fixed properly at times so count your blessings...

I have the Denali DM's mounted at the fender bracket on my bike. They do make a difference in that they help create the triangle effect that helps drivers see us better day and night. Also, they add just the right amount of additional light I need at night on dark roads. They don't put out as...

Go with white, they look light blue when they reflect off of the engine. I know because I use to have that set up on my 09. I had to remove them because I started to get shorts and realized that I needed to use better quality light strips. I haven't had the $ to re-do it yet, but I'm...

I wish I had the nerve to do that just so I could get a cool picture!
