    Handlebars?

    Hey guys, I'm not seeing quite what I'm looking for in bars as I browse so I'm wondering; those of you who have aftermarket bars what do you have? How do they compare to stock?

    Hooligan's...

    Im kinda paranoid I guess....but I feel it would be a wise investment in a locking oil cap or something similar to a tamper proof torx cap... something that would implement severe difficulty for anyone trying to sabotage my bike. Thanks ahead of time. ;)

    FZ8 juicebox pro

    So I have been planning on getting a PCV. Dynojet is the leader in my mind in fuel management. However, I have ridden a few quads with a juicebox by two brothers racing and they seemed to run amazing. Does anyone know first hand, how consumer friendly the juicebox pro for FZ8 is?

    What do YOU use to clean your FZ?

    I have a very methodical process. It goes something like this... First, I squirt down any dried on bugs and such with K&N degreaser, let sit for about 10 min. Using a "hotsy" (heated pressure washer) I remove all the murdered insects from the bike. Then I use some McGuire's Quick Detailer to...

    FZ8 Wet Sump...

    I will be gearing down the fz here shortly, and I'm a little unsure about pullin wheelies. A lot of wet sump style lubrication systems are prone to starving the crank bearings of oil when the front wheel is up. Has anyone had this problem? Heard of it with the FZ8's? :scratch:
