Man you have no idea how close that is to how I'm riding. I've ready found the limit of the FTR Base how I'm currently setup. Fine, I can accept it, but if I also my footing; and next, my pegs/rear-sets, I can get it over pretty low. I don't want a cruiser anymore; I want a StreetFighter. I want...

Sure; what do you think of htis that recently went with a non-knobbly; more sport touring style tire. I coudn't believe how easily this buy wheels, genuinely. I'm starting to worry i'm doing it TOO much; because it's intoxicati\ng. So adding the T31's, that had to lower it VERY minimally; but...

Also as a side note? Swapping the stocks for a grippier rears was a total game changer... I'm really. Here's the stock then new; within a week of each other. Different bike basically.

I did a bad thing at a gas station earlier on a group ride... fell over on the exhaust side. SOMEHOW the damage was ridiculously minimal. I scratch on the muffler, rear brake pedal is bend in slightly, but still useable (Gonna check on bending it back). The front brake lever chipped off about a...

What is that Yamaha? A Tracer 900? I almost got an MT-09 or MT-10, really an MT-10 instead of the FTR. It would have been about the same, maybe even slightly cheaper. But I test rode an FTR Rally... I caught the bug lol. Now that I've got almost 5K miles on it, I wouldn't trade it for anything...

Yeah? I'm excited to see it on man, you should post some pics of it here once you get it put on. I'd almost be willing to take the hit and swap them out if they look as cool as I think they will.

Buhhhh; literally JUST got the R&G put on a couple days ago. I really like the look of this more. I seriously struggled to get the R&G to fit right. It took longer than it should have; as long as the bolts don't vibrate out it should stay lol. But now I wouldn't mind the aluminum rad guards I've...

I must have serious issues then lol, I struggled finding tires in stock that I liked the look of. I wanted the ContiRoad Attack 2 Sports but could only find 17-inch rears... I did end up going 160 rear tho. Wish it'd hurry and show up, I somehow ordered an 17 inch rear and had to ship it back...

I'll say after finally needing to replace my stock rear; I went ahead and got a slick front as well... I wish they'd just done the 17's in 2019. Don't get me wrong, the stance is sick but I've NEVER had a bike harder to find the tires I like for. It was either A. They don't make a version that...

Oh? I was thinking about dropping 2, but 3 could be doable too... who'd you go with? How is around town?

Yeah I guess so; well I did buy it with the look in mind; I'm getting down to the wear-line on my knobbies so it's about time to swap out to some real sportbike tires, that with this hugger should look pretty good. Really transform the look of the bike as much as taking the stock exhaust and cat...

Dang really? I was hoping it'd help out; everytime I drive through puddles I end up with drops on the rear of my seat. Now that I've got the Aeromach license plate kit though; it's definitely calmed down.

LOL Good God why haven't I taken the sticker off before? It's like I haven't thought about it in months, I remember when I picked up the bike thinking "Damn that's a big obvious sticker that's gotta go". Then I never did anything about it hahaah. Thanks man! And yeah thankfully my Father is...

First off; it went on super easy... hardest part was getting the stock muffler/cat off. It was a pain, things had trouble. I was doing it at my Father's place since he has all the tools I thought I'd need. Ended up not being able to find the right socket, had to mtake a trip to Walmart, then had...

Oh really? I haven't looked much up on their tune I was honestly a little worried. Everyone loves Lloyds so much I thought I'd screwed up by buying Fuel Moto's. The stock bike tune that I'm running now which is just their basic tune on a completely stock bike is fine; it certainly cold fires a...
