yes that's how they are running now, they are a nice light tan. I think I will run it on the dyno again to see what its at and then have it flashed, the guys at my local shop want to use my bike in a bike show in February to promote the shop so maybe I can work a trade :)

Ya it is but the bike was way to lean when I pulled the plugs they were white which means the bike was way to lean I loaded a milder map because I was worried about damage to the motor . So I was thinking that if I flash the ECU and retune I can get those numbers again without having to lean out...

If I get 100 HP or more at the wheel and unlock all the restrictions I would be happy with that for sure. I have had the bike dyno tuned before with a Bazzaz unit got 106 hp at the wheel but was way too lean so ended up loading another map and have not had it on a Dyno since so not sure what...

Has anyone had their ECU flashed is it worth the effort how much hp can you get from having the ECU done ? My local shop now offers this service so I want to hear from some of the guys that have done it before I throw down my cash Cheers

A good rear shock would make a huge difference, really improved the ride on mine and probably would have been enough for the street. I decided to go the extra mile with the Matris front end and now the bike rides on a rail in the twistys and the front end does not dive hard . If your budget...

PJ's parts.com smaller dealer out of the USA, husband and wife team absolutely the best to deal with. Spoke to them on the phone and through email and they are very very fair in their pricing and super helpful, I recommend them every chance I get they are not looking to get rich off their...

I swaped out he rear with a Nitron about $600.00 and the front with a Matris set up made for the Fz8. Complete kit with full adjustment came with weight specicific springs, cartages , oil and adjusters $889.00 best mods to date completely different bike.

I just picked up a 2005 Sportster XL1200R one owner and only 6000 KM on the bike totally mint condition. Nice to switch it up sometimes although its hard to get out of FZ8 mode keep trying too rev the shit out of it, cruisers hit the rev limit really fast.

I think I will be changing all the bearing and oil seals in the links as there is a good amount of play in mine as well, last thing I need is for things to start coming apart at 160 KM an hour

Not sure I understand what you mean

Does anyone have any up & down play in the dog bones at the shock mount? I had a set of PR4s installed today and the tech noticed some play in the dog bones, he says it should not be there but could not be sure. So just want to see if anyone else has noticed this i checked my cousin's FZ1 and...

Absolutely love it, I like being able to adjust the front end up here in Canada the roads take a real shit kicking after the winter lots of big cracks, pot holes, and broken up asphalt its nice to be able to adjust the suspension according to the roads plus for the price of an ohlins front end...

The set up I got is a Nitron rear shock about $680.00 and a Matris set up for the front. The Matris set up is totally custom built for your weight and is fully adjustable very high quality and only $800.00 for the complete set up including the springs cartages and oil I got it from PJ"s...

No, Slang for Canadians common term up here in the great white north
