    Fork Sliders? Anyone know if these fit?

    Saw a nice Fz1 at a parking lot and looked at the fork and saw these sliders attached to it. Some quick research shows they're all over ebay and stuff... Do you guys know if this would work for FZ8? IS it possible to thread that skewer in? Front Rear CNC Axle Fork Crash Sliders Cap Wheel...

    Lowered my headlight an inch... but can barely tell.

    So....... that kinda felt like 5 hours of work for nothin' oh well. So if you take the headlight off, you'll see the bracket that holds the headlight just uses 10mm bolts to hold onto the underside of the triple tree plate. I just used 2 - 1 inch spacers and got 35mm M6 bolts and bolted it...

    Crampbuster for the win.

    Although this sounds like a commercial, I just wanted to share. For whatever reason I've always had issues with a death grip on the throttle, which has led to some serious vibration and numb hands which really bothered me. This seemed to always be worse on my throttle hand. After picking up...

    Small flyscreen BEHIND headlight assemby?

    Hey guys, Not sure if anyone else feels this way, but I've been looking at windscreens, and can't get myself to like any of them, and wonder why everyone insists on screens that attach on on TOP of the current location. Am I crazy to think these look weird? I've always felt like adding the...

    FZ8R, FZ8 SP, FZ8 SP-R

    Today was the first time I have ever heard of these different monikers for the FZ8 sold in other countries. After googling a bit, there has been some discussion of it, late 2011, but before that I had NO idea that these trim levels were existent, but I do like the idea of badging the FZ8 as a...

    Review: FZ1 Shock

    I just wanted to take 2 minutes to review the install and initial ride for the FZ1 spring I installed on my 2012 FZ8. The installation was fairly straightforward and the most difficult part was getting the swing arm unsprung without rafters or lift. I used a car jack under the frame and then...

    Vinyl Wrap Color Change

    Hey guys, It's like 4am and I just ran out of vinyl, so I'm making a thread about my progress. Anyways today I decided I wanted a white FZ8. It came down to it that vinyl was the least expensive but more complicated way (vs professional paint vs plastidip). It worked perfectly since I can do...

    Short Shifters for Motorcycles, do they exist?

    Sorry guys if this is an awkward question, but do they have shifter kits that reduce the distance between the gear shifts? (Like what they have in cars). I rode my friends Ducati M900 and the transmission was not only buttery smooth but the throws of the foot shifter were short and clean. I...

    Some Footage from Tour de Bay 7

    Hey guys! EtienneFZ8 and I were able to get together to represent some FZ8 love in the Bay Area California yesterday (4/14/2013). Dunno, if this will work, but it was awesome to go out and ride around with a thousand other bikers...

    Radiator Side Guards from FZ1 Installed

    My AHR HID Retrofit Review

    Well Chad at AHR really came through! The headlights look WONDERFUL! a crisp cutoff, and beautiful 5000k color. Overall the actual retrofit work to the headlight housing was of great quality. Pretty much everything you'd expect for a reputable vendor that offers services to 5 other yamaha...

    OEM Cowls Wrapped Matte Black

    I've been wanting cowls for the LONGEST time, and finally took the plunge. Yeah, I know they're not cheap but I just love the way they make the bike look. Because I have the matte bike, I didn't think the oem gloss look would flow well enough so since I have a vinyl gig on the side, decided to...

    That Throttle Tube/Switch Gap with the Washer Inside

    Can anyone help me confirm that their OEM right hand controls looks something like....[switches] [10mm gap][free hanging washer][grip] which mates perfectly with the bar end? After you confirm that, can you tell me why it's such a big gap? I understand that they want to keep the grip from...

    Pillion Strap

    Internet research shows that the pillion strap which is supposed to serve as a passenger grab handle, is actually nothing more than a decorative strap to leave an imprint in your passengers butt after a long ride; or a hat holder or worse, a perfect place for the meter maid to leave you a city...

    The People Have Spoken: Forum Decals

    Temporarily Discontinued With the change in forum URL, it's a good time for me to take a vacation from the decal game. As you can imagine, fulfilling orders can be a full time job and with another full time job - I'm wiped. More to come, but until it does; have a great ride.
