So, question for you electrically inclined riders. I'm confused as to how to wire up 2-wire frong LED's to our 3-wire system. The original incandescent bulbs have three wires: 1 for blinker filament, 1 for running filament, and a third wire for ground. I used this guide to try and get...

Is it possible to add ABS brakes from the FZ8-N onto our bikes?

Sooo, is anyone familiar with the differences between the 2011/12 model and the 2013 model as far as exhaust mounting points go? Was wanting to buy a used two brothers exhaust, but it was off of a 2012. My FZ8 is a 2013. I thought they were pretty dang similar, but according to the two...

Sometimes I hate buying used things. Regardless, I was further inspecting my bike tonight and found that the right radiator fan would not spin freely by hand. Hmm. Started to undo the radiator bolts (noticed the left side didn't even have its bolt on) and saw this on the right : Mm yes... I...
