    2011 FZ8 Fazer

    No real issues, better than OEM. Buy the bike and I will throw in the windscreen at no charge. LOL

    2011 FZ8 Fazer

    2011 FZ8 Fazer in BC Canada As you likely know, the factory suspension was always the weak point, and I found myself wanting more, so I upgraded the OEM set-up to the 25mm cartridge fork kit by GP Suspension in Auburn Washington and Penske 8987 triple adjust shock, with reservoir. This was not...

    2011 Fazer 8

    2001 FZ8, Canadian spec Fazer 8, so windscreen, mini fairing, etc.... 19,000 km or 12,000 miles In 2014 I upgraded fork by GP Suspension out of Auburn, Washington, upgrades shock to Penske 8275 with remote rez. Handles amazing and great for two-up. This alone was $2k PC5, air box mod last...

    GP Suspension - arrived

    Thanks! They don't make a kit for the FZ8, yet, so mine is made from unobtainium. LOL. Hoping to ride this weekend and will post before and after thoughts.

    GP Suspension - arrived

    So I took a major plunge and ordered up some suspension from GP suspension in Auburn Washington (formerly of Oregon). Installing on 2011 Fazer. Stock suspension wasn't doing it for me, so went for the upgrade. My bike now cost 50% more but :bday: to me. GP Suspension > The Cutting Edge In...

    Step up, BC riders!

    I am up in Kamloops, riding a 2011 Fazer 8. BCSportbikes dot com has some group rides posted, but of course nothing FZ8 specific. I'd be happy to do a run, meet between Hope and Cache Creek or something. The Canyon is a favourite of mine, Hope Princeton good too.

    front/rear sprockets

    HI there, After doing some reading here, as well as anything I could find online, I am changing out the sprockets on my Fazer8 for a -1 +2 combo. I did it on my FZ6 as well as another bike I owned. Question is, from those that have done it, have I gone too far? Before everything arrives...

    Radar detector mounts

    I did find this as well. https://www.escortradar.com/store/motorcycle-universal-handlebar-mount-black.html More than magnets, but still a bar mount and potentially in the way of the key & ignition.

    Radar detector mounts

    Hi there, I was only able to find one thread on this from several years ago, and rather than bump the old one, I thought I'd start a new one. Anyone have a radar mount they are very happy with? I have seen the RAM stuff and the Techmount stuff but nothing really excites me. I am...

    Fazer Luggage Options

    Thanks everyone. The Yamaha one is the one for me. Will be adding a Givi box of some sort, perhaps the B47 Blade. The yamaha branded box just doesn't match the lines of the bike as well as the Blade does. Side bags will have to be put together as the need arises. If I really find myself...

    Fazer Luggage Options

    Thanks. I have seen the Givi. I am not happy with the placement of the top case required with their side bags. One mounting rack and it puts the top case about 4 inches higher and further back than I want.

    Fazer Luggage Options

    HI there, Recently purchased a new to me 2011 Fazer, in black. I am seeking feedback on those who have outfitted theirs with luggage. Top case, and hard bags on the side, if possible. Seems to be rare to find any options online, and what I do find shows me that there is really only one or...

    New guy checking in

    Hi folks, Certainly not new to biking, but today I picked up a 2011 Fazer, in black, and thought I would say hello. Previous rides are 2007 FZ6, 2008 R1, 2007 Husky 610 supermoto. Looking forward to making it my own and seeing what fun it will bring, and of course forums are the best...
