Wanted something greasable. The one from RB is not. Actually just got a response from JBR and the energy suspension bushing that I currently have will work with his new billet bushings.

I like those new JBR brackets. But, brackets are not universal. His is specifically for 1.25 diameter bars. Racing Beat is using a 1.06 diameter bar. Cannot just swap. Would need to change out the whole bar. Unless... JBR is sourcing his bushing from Energy and just machining his own...

Everything was good and tight for the initial install. The pics of the brackets are after ~6 months of use.

Installed a Racing Beat RSB, AWR endlinks and Energy Suspension greasable brackets. However, I keep breaking things... 1st it was the endlinks... I broke the factory ones (no surprise there) and I also broke 2 sets of CorkSport ones. Finally I changed to AWR endlinks and now I bent the brackets...

Here is the instructions for the 2012+ version. Unfortunately they were not available here in the US until recently. I brought these back on a trip to visit family in Japan. It's in Japanese but there are pictures for those that do not understand.

I used the factory kit from Mazda Japan

Mazda does not make touch up paint for our wheels. Do any aftermarket companies make anything that matches pretty well? My wife scrapped one of the wheel on our 2012 5 this morning. @ $550 a wheel, replacement is not an option. Post your recommendations, experiences along with the products...

So... I've had my racing beat RSB installed for quite some time now. But recently I been breaking end links. I broke the stocks (no surprise there) then I also broke a brand new set of Corksport end links in less than a week. I think it is because of my father's driveway in combination with...

windshield part numbers are the same for the earlier models and the 12+ so the sunshade will fit. + I have one and it fits perfectly.

I used locking shaft collars on the Racing Beat bar.

The OEM toyos are junk! Rotated at 7.5k. Had the alignment checked (A little off, but still well within specs). Just kept getting louder. Switched them out at about 12k because they were just to loud. Riding on Bridgestones Potenza RE760 now. So much better...

That's what I get here in Hawaii. Never broke 22mpg average. I think not having any ethanol free gas readily available is partly responsible. Only a few stations have Ethanol free for sale. Almost all here are E10. I think all manufactures test on ethanol free because ethanol percentage and...

Finally replaced the OEM Toyos. The Toyos still had a lot of life left (~50%) but were getting too loud. Picked up some Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports. Hopefully the almost 4 million miles of reviews on tire rack are correct. Selection criteria was... Summer tire (it's always summer here...

I have the stock Toyos. ~12k on them. No vibrations but they are very loud. Anyone have any experience with Bridgestone RE760 sports? Pretty cheap at Costco.

Looking for ideas to add a little bit of bottom end to my system. Nothing big no larger than an 8". Preferably it would fit under a seat or dash and needs to be concealed as per the wife's requirements. :). Also must preserve all storage areas and tools.
