Great choice on bikes! You will be surprised by how little wind buffeting you get from this bike. I have no real windscreen to speak of and am blown away by how well I cut through the wind at highway speeds.

Do it man, its not that hard once you figure out the trick to it for the compound curves (especially on the tank) but once you do its a breeze! Do yourself a favor and order some knifeless tape off of Ebay and a little bit extra vinyl (just in case). While I obviously love the FZ8, I just find...
