ERMAX parts Hey guys, sorry if this is old info but I got all my ERMAX parts in the US from Frog Specialties, guy named Phillipe is on point. His prices are right and you've got a real person to deal with.

Only let me post 1 pic per? And rotates my pics sideways? Lmao

DONE, check it out All I can say is wow, I should've done this sooner. I live in a tiny little state and I couldn't find anyone close by, so I drove about an hour and a half each way to bring my headers for ceramic coating and it was soooooo worth the drive. Shoreline Coatings in Connecticut...

Do it Totally plug n play, easy for even a not so handy type person I would say. Take your time, get the tail apart one step at time, wiring is nothing since you don't have to "do" anything except plug in the harness. There's a couple tutorials I think, feel free to email me anytime for help if...

I just made one too, I used a piece of L shaped aluminum- 2 holes on top for bolts from tail, 2 bolts on front for plate. I didn't wanna spring for the Yoshimura kit, especially since like you said the taillight has the blinkers in it. There's a nice looking bracket on eBay for I think $25 that...

Bikes can be fixed... Glad you're ok man, I'm familiar with the man vs guardrail accident and its no joke. First time my buddy literally walked away from, but second one caused some severe damage to the guys foot and leg (the one on the guardrail side). That guy will never ride again, not to...

I love a good mystery too Could be for an easy addition of a battery tender or some such,every bikes got a "mystery" harness that goes nowhere, it's a freebie. Your car probably has a dozen, BIG freebie! We should all harvest our mystery harnesses and sell them on eBay for gas money.

Let there be light I didn't get to check,but I can tell you that's not unusual. If you did unplug a harness by accident, the other side would be right there easy to see- don't go nuts looking for a male that doesn't exist! You could've shorted out when you were installing the blinkers, have you...

+1. I've run both the ExtremeBlaster cans, the one with the closed Supertrapp-y end and the one with the open end. Both will run fine with no re-mapping, smooth idle and all. And while definitely louder they aren't at all like impound your bike loud lol. You can keep it reasonable to get by the...

Almost there... Okay,dropped off the header today, will be done and probably back on by next weekend. Not that anyone cares, but, well, you know. Header came off super easy, o2 sensor loosened easy and threaded right out no prob., crank the wheel one way and got 2 pipes loosened,crank the other...

Clutch it up (now with more blip) +1 to this, people can be dicky when you're looking to learn to wheelie. It's one of those things people forget they weren't born doing lol. I've had a couple Gixxer 600's,an 05 and an 06, and I feel like the FZ is an easier bike to get up. I definitely prefer...

Done that Lmao, I know this is old and I do plenty of intentional wheelies, BUT I have done this exact thing and scared the piss outta meself. Came out of a looped onramp to 95 and had to get right over. So the guy in the Penisenvy XL (substitute your funny too-big SUV name here) speeds up to...

Washing the matte FZ8 Wanted to share a remarkable product I've been using to clean the matte paint scheme. If you're anything like me, it kills you a little to take a hose to your bike, and I can gladly say I will never use a hose on a bike again. I see a little dust, or some cocky poopy and I...

FAIRINGS It's one of those words like catalytic... Everybody's got a funny variation on the original, I have to walk away and laugh down one of the aisles in the auto parts store whenever somebody starts yelling about the gdamn CADDILAC converter. Really? You really think that CADDILAC somehow...

I'm ceramic coating too...have a dumb question Hey guys, I'm gonna be ceramic coating my header satin black next week and I have a dumb question about removal. Removal looks pretty straightforward,only thing new to me is the o2 sensor (that is the thing in the mid pipe area with a wire coming...

Hey guys and gals, anyone in the RI/MASS area? I'm in Providence on a '12 FZ8,looking to maybe get a group ride going or just meet some cool people. Lets ride!

I wanted to share a great piece of advice that ha helped me corner better, 2 things really. 1st and foremost,and this is sooo easy and makes soooo much difference, is when you're in a corner look to the FARTHEST point you can see...do NOT look at your front tire lol. I know this is taught in MSF...

Well, thanks for all the positive comments guys. On color, yes they match very well, I'd imagine they're using color coded auto paint so no room for error. If I had a black '11 I'd probably go with the Yammy cowl, it's in the US and the color has to be right. I did get them from FROG...

Neutral is for never There is a well established school of thought that says "brakes are cheaper than engines" so don't engine brake. If that logic applies to anything, and I personally call BS, it would apply to a car slowing in a straight line,like on the freeway or approaching a light,or...

Heres the Ermax stuff,really nice, color is great. You have to install the little metal mesh in the air holes yourself which is a PITA. Imho I think the bellypan could cover a little more belly but I could understand how clearance issues could dictate that. The seat cowl is pretty cool, I like...
