    The fork tubes are basically identical except for the axle bore and caps. Direct swap and gives you the opportunity to switch to a heavier oil. The FZ1 springs are .05kg/mm stiffer as well.

    Nope. I swapped the springs and the cartridge from the FZ1 forks to the FZ8 tubes to save some cash by not having to track down a wheel and axle.

    :rolleyes: $6700 http://www.779cc.org/forum/fz8-mods/704-lyrics-mods.html here's a whole thread about my bike. Cash in hand for a test ride. Bike has just north of 8000 miles currently and is in excellent shape. Bike has never been down and is near mint condition. This is a very fun...

    Oil Change question

    I've been changing my own oil for about 15 years. I've never replaced a crush washer. I've never had my oil leak at the drain plug. YMMV.

    Knocking the Cat

    You can remove the cat while the exhaust is on the bike. Just take the bike outside after and rev it to spew out the dust before you put your muffler back on.

    Who are all the Midwest riders?

    Welp, I broke my right wrist and left elbow about 2 weeks ago. No riding for me for a while. :(

    This is the right answer. My service in Indiana has **** all to do with your service in Tennessee.

    Are there any affordable, simple-to-install bar end mirrors?

    The finish on my shitty $10 eBay ones was, well, shit. The black flaked off quickly. CRGs are about $100 per mirror. I like mine a lot better than the cheapies I had at first.

    What size is the axle nut?

    The one in the tool kit doesn't fit the front axle. Our tool kit has the 17mm from the Fz1/damn near every other bike.

    What kind of gas do you guys use?

    They didn't, though. Recommended octane level for US is 86 (r+m/2 method) or 91 for research octane number, which is Europe and probably everywhere else.
