    FZ8 mirror alternative

    So which set of Rizoma's were these? I know they are not cheap but a good pair of mirrors might be in my future as my last real mod for the season.. Thanks. --B

    headlights? HID's? how bright?

    I have been riding at night a few times and for sure the stock lights are not bright enough. I went with 8K Bi-Xeon H4 bulb (w/High-Low) from KryptonBulbs. I am waiting for my Rizoma turn signals to come in and then will do all the wiring at once.. hopefully this will be the last mods for the...

    Snakeskins tank grips

    Interesting, I bought a set of the basic pads last week (just arrived Friday) and noted they were for the FZ8. Figures they would come out with a pattern after I bought the pads lol. I am going to ask Speedo007 to get his template and hopefully cut it out this weekend. Thanks for the update...

    A Battery Charger

    Quick question since I'm new to bikes; how long is too long for a bike to sit before u need to put it on a trickle charger? A couple of weeks of more like a month or longer? Thanks, - B

    Introduction

    Thanks for the welcome. I've never really been known to go small if I can afford to do something right. I'm loving the bike and try to get out on it once a week when the weather is cooperating. I'm making a few changes to suit me a bit more, but it's all good. Done the tail tidy, and...

    Yamaha LEDs, belly pan and tail tidy installed

    That looks great, I am starting to set my bike up now and really like those front blinkers. Being new to bikes, are the turn-signals universal, or do I have to look for something that specifically fits the Yamaha FZ8? I got the R&G Tail Tidy, Pezzo levers and snakeskins but looking to remove...

    Introduction

    Well Hello Folks :D I just wanted to drop a quick note to say hello and introduce myself. I recently took the MSF course because an old Marine friend of mine has been going on about how much he loved his bike over his sports car. After the course & a week of 'considering' my options I decided...

    Snakeskins tank grips

    Those look pretty good. I am pretty interested in these, but was curious if the pre-cut templates for the FZ6 would work on the FZ8. I thought the bikes were very similar from a fame size, so the tank design would be the same? Not that I don't think your design is good, but having something...

    final mods - input on idea

    Thanks I am definitely excited about this being my first bike. I have not had the chance to ride it yet, raining all weekend and I'm out this week, but I am looking forward to picking it up this weekend with the flyscreen, frame sliders & center-stand installed. I figure I will take the break-in...
