I may have an extra tail section...I haven't decided for or against grab bars yet, but i have one that already has the cutout and one that doesn't.

I hit one with my Zx6r and it got caught in the ram air duct...had to reach around the front to toss it.

My 4th Bike, been riding 10 years I don't think anybody means to insult, but it's more concern as starting off on a bike like this as it's got a lot of power and some beginner rider errors can be magnified by that fact. It also is a fairly heavy bike as it's almost 100 lbs heavier than my 2007...

I was curious if anybody ever tried to measure the decible output with a decible meter as I have one (got it for outdoor movie nights to make sure I was within the village's requirements) and tone with say a guitar tuner? I would really like to get a new slip on, but have 3-4 cops within 3...

So I almost started a new thread, but figured this was a good place to add....today I saw a moron on a Harley riding with a kids toy Iron Man mask on....really....it obviously must have been real easy to see with and very comfortable too (sarcasm) because he was going 15-20 under the speed limit.

Last night into today I spent about 2 hours installing the tail bracket and a generic led tail light. The good... structurally it seems very heavy duty and stab.. The bad.... It take forever to install and with a simple change in the design of one bracket, it would cut the install time in half...

Anybody ever find a site you can order European parts direct? This one doesn't let you order...just get part numbers..

There aren't many product I feel super excited to give a 5 star review to, but these were great. My daughter has taken an interest in riding...(first time snuck a ride while mom was taking a nap and liked it enough to bag the next day to get her a nice motorcycle jacket and gloves to be safer)...

It should 99% of metric bikes are 7/8" Ø... the only thing I had to do on my 650 Ninja was flip the banjo bolt for the brake fluid reservoir and drill a small hole for locating controls... which should be easier on this, as the 650 Ninja the fairings interfered on the change. More than likely...

I'm assuming those are the suburban machinery handlebars...I had them on my 650 Ninja. More aggressive (less comfortable) ride. http://suburban-machinery.com/hbindex.htm

thanks I never really got into chrome...I like the flat matte black much better...powder coating seems to be more really available around here anyways...anybody familiar with how much cleanup is required and grinding of scratched areas on metal before getting it done..like of there's a scratch...

I am in the process of purchasing a cheap used 1989 Yamaha Radian that will eventually become a cafe racer. Anybody do a project similar to this? Engine sounds like it runs good although he is missing the right exhaust can. I am trying to figure out where to start. Thinking first things first...

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't you spend significantly less buying an FZ1 and replacing the front fairing with a streetfight headlight kit? Puig screen is horrible, it actually makes riding less comfortable.

Haha I almost bought an FZ8 from that city....
