    FZ8 Fender/ Mudguard alternatives?

    Not long after I got my bike I attempted to reverse it out of my garage with the disc lock still on and took a big chunk out of the front fender. I ended up getting a carbon fibre one, but it was advertised as being for the FZ1....It looked the same, so I did a bit of research and found that...

    Fashion Victim

    Hey guys, I was looking through my old photos and noticed that although I look back fondly all all the bikes I have owned, and never think.."why did I buy that", I can't say the same about my choice of riding gear....lol....most of it was pretty shocking....and it seems obvious I must have been...

    Stock Tires Life

    I just changed my OE tyres this week,and was on just over 14000Kms (8700miles)...which I reckon is alot . I ride 100ks a day mostly freeway, but the last 15ks has 13 roundabouts, so one side of my front tyre looked shot, and I had a flat center on both tyres. The rear actually still had...

    Custom made tire hugger and chain guard

    That style of hugger might go down well over here in Western Australia..we have really strict rules on rear mudguards....they are supposed to be no higher than the 45deg from a straight line through the rear axle and perpendicular to the ground...also your tyre must not stick out further than...

    Stealth Button

    A couple of weeks back I installed what I reckon has to be the most useful thing I have added to my 8......A Garage Remote...lol. I have to wear a fluorescent vest at all times when I am at work....this has meant that its easier just to wear one on top of my leather jacket when going backwards...

    Battery help

    I would be taking it back....it is not an equivalent battery, and is rated higher at 10Ah, against 8.6Ah for the YTZ10s, (which is also what the owners manual recommends)....this in itself is not a problem, as it is in-fact higher so will cope with the load of the bikes electrics....but It is...

    polishing stuff

    The wheel looks pretty cool like that... a lad I work with did that with his ZX10, looked great , but he didn't coat it and it went all scabby looking after a couple of months....Have you put anything on it to stop it oxidising, or are you just going to keep nice n polished. I have a FE on my...

    Mod Addiction

    Actually they don't vibrate much, but to be honest I can't see a whole lot out of them....they are pretty small. I have to pull my elbows in to see properly and It took a while to get them in the right position. Then once you do you cannot move them without them going slack. I have tried to...

    Mod Addiction

    I have had my Fz for just over a year now, and have just hit the 10,000km....and I love it. It’s just a great looking, great fun bike. Last weekend I went out for a bit of a jaunt, only intending to ride up to a nearby cafe and get my morning coffee...I returned home several hours later ...

    What's the worst thing that's hit you or your bike while on the road?

    In 2010 I was on the freeway on CBR600 when the Hailstorm that caused over a billion dollars worth of damage hit Perth....got battered with golf ball sized hail for a few minutes until I pulled off freeway and parked in some bushes....there was car windows smashing all over the place and cars...

    So apparently I just bought the worse bike ever made?

    Hey DurtyB .You can’t always believe everything that you read. The FZ8 is a great bike and I am sure you will have plenty of fun on it. I have been riding for nearly 30 yrs and owned a lot of bikes, and although the FZ isn’t the quickest, or the best handling, or the best looking bike I have...

    2011 muffler heat shield

    I have the 2011 Model...I have removed the stock Heat Shield and replaced with a handmade polished stainless one, but I tested the stock one with a magnet and only the most powerful magnet I had would stick to it...and even then it was pretty loose on there, which would suggest there is not a...
