zachd Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 It is a Puig Touring, and I love it!Did you have to shift/remove the hand guards (top layer that it)? Yes, the top layers hit the windscreen, and had to be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Installed the new [strong]Stebel Magnum horn[/strong] (AUD$28), a simple five-minute plug-and-play task using the original horn bracket, but I expect to have to relocate it when installing the on-its-way AdventureTech light-bar and front LEDs. I’ve had a Magnum on a number of other bikes, and while it’s not obnoxiously loud its attention-grabbing mini-Mack truck two-tone note does seem to cut-through to texting or dozing drivers, and I find it effective. It does need to be mounted correctly, with the horn pointing downwards, even if only slightly, so that water does not gather inside. I managed to drown an earlier Magnum when carelessly hosing the bike down, and all future editions have been covered tightly with a plastic bag when the bike is being washed.

duhs10 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Did you have to shift/remove the hand guards (top layer that it)? Yes, the top layers hit the windscreen, and had to be removed. I also have the Puig touring windscreen. I suggest buying the little deflector that attaches to the top of the windscreen if you go with Puig. Regarding the handguards, I contacted Puig before ordering my windscreen and was able to get a set of "handguard displacers" with mine. I got to keep the look of the stock handguards. I don't understand why they aren't included in every kit. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why they aren't included in every kit.Curiously, the install instructions off their website show the displacers. How tall are you... I am 5'9", 32" inseam. I'm 5'11", 33" inseam.. with the deflector attached to the top of the windscreen I can ride down the highway at 80mph+ with my visor open no problem. The wind catches my helmet just above the visor so my vents still get air. No buffeting, just smooth air. I noticed the handguard displacers on the install instructions as well, but when I got the kit they were not there. Since I contacted Puig regarding the handguard displacers prior to ordering and used their recommended vendor. Puig sent me the displacers free of charge direct from Spain. It was a little annoying, but glad I contacted them ahead of time. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Fitted a mini-size [strong]Top Box[/strong], $29AUD, and 28L capacity. Had this on other bikes; it takes – [em]just![/em] – my full-face helmet. I don’t care much for top-boxes that are so huge that if filled with water could serve as a swimming-pool, but this excels for day-trips and even a weekend away. And it doesn't look over-sized or unbalance the bike visually, especially when the rider is on the bike. Distributor here in Oz is Third Gear (Melbourne-based)– I’ve dealt with them often and they have good products at very keen prices, and excellent service. Stuff is arriving every day – LED indicators from China just delivered this morning! I'm exhausted! [em]W [/em] 2015 Matte Grey MT-09 Tracer – now at 33km.

bobdog Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Johan/wordsmith, I have at least 3 stone to give! Foot on centerstand and passenger handhold are my method. I put a larger foot on my kickstand. Soft soil at a local winery convinced me to get it. Don't have to carry a small block of wood in the top case any more. Used to use a crushed beer can, but don't drink a drop any more when out on my bike. 2015 Grey FJ09 with a few tweaks, 2007 HD Street Glide - Good Bike + Good Friends = Good Day.

bobdog Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 johan, Better than when my buddy dropped his Honda when he missed the edge of the sidewalk he chose to park on with his kickstand... & (Ahem) alcohol was involved. Much laughter, but probably not good to be riding that drunk. We both have mellowed considerably since then.

wordsmith Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 http://i.imgur.com/6Qv1zc8.jpg Stuck a tiny 10mm diameter silicone 'dot' (furniture surface protector) onto the equally small indicator button.

Premium Member cman Posted April 8, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted April 8, 2016 Welp, today, I traded it... Just a hair over 4,000 miles on it and decided I wanted to go naked (since all I do is commute and the wind noise/buffeting was really getting to me). So, I got me one of these... It's REALLY nice! I hope I can still keep coming around here though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Givi top case rack + M7 plate and traffic II top case, Givi tanklock tank bag. Tank bag is Givi 3d603. I have add 2x 1'' ram mount ball for GPS and go pro or cellphone holder. OEM heated grips! 12v direct to battery connector for a small air compressor in case of emergency. Few rear punctures of experience... Next thing is to get my suspension adjusted by a friend. I'm planning to get the Givi sport windscreen and led turn signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
