    Mounting Tuner?

    Where did you guys mount your Juice Box, PC and so on? I assume most did under rear seat, maybe where the tools are. I have my tender/12v socket there. Could still fit it but didn't know if the tuner needs to breath.

    For the love of 2 wheels.

    My wife and I had new friends over the house. The fella wanted to see my garage. When we went in he said something to me. "Why do you have 3 motorcycles"? I replied, "Because I cant afford 4"!!

    Fan and temp

    What temp does the fan come on normally and what temp are you? Not saying I was running hot but I bought the bike in OCT and yesterday was the first 73 degrees F day I have ridden. At the light it was 205, seems a bit warm cruising was 167. Sound about right?

    Shad seats, who's got them?

    Who uses the shad seat? I am familiar with other choices out there but like the SHAD. I really don't find the stock uncomfortable. My ass is well seasoned from 30 yrs dirt bike and supermoto seats. But the wife wants something less slick.

    Frame sliders

    Frame sliders. Do they really protect the bike? I have them on my Supermoto and the DO work. When you look at the Supermoto bike you can even tell that they would do the job. The FZ8 framesliders do not. So....... do they? Thanks
