    Slip-on/full exhaust help

    I took the muffler off and took a long drill bit and just kept drilling holes in the desicant till I could break it into pieces and pull out the chunks.

    Slip-on/full exhaust help

    Howling noise while riding

    Heat?

    How old are you guys and girls with FZ8's?

    58. Will be 59 in september. Just put a Vance and Hines slip-on today. Think I will like it. At speed not much louder than stock. By the way I really love this bike. Also ride a 2012 goldwing.

    Thicker Head Gasket

    You need a thinner head gasket to raise compression. Then you would probably have to run race gas.

    Windshield Options

    Not much luck with windsheild. Bought Givi and it is not much. Made one work from Super Tennere. Lot better just get a little helmet noise. I ride to work mostly freeway and the windsheild helps alot.
