lol, yeah, I was wearing my gear. I don't have full leathers nor was I even going fast really, but I had my jacket, gloves, helmet, and jeans. the jeans got shredded into shorts, knuckles on the gloves crushed, helmet smashed, but the jacket only got a little scuffed up. I did manage to break my...

yessir, right where it gets tighter just about halfway through I think. I still want to go back out there again, but I can definitely say I'm not fond of the road surface there.

So I'd been ordering parts and gathering them for a while here, and all I'd installed was the frame sliders. Well, the same day I installed the frame sliders I went out to a twisty little scenic part of town out here and lowsided it in some gravel (out-in-out line became out-out-out). The damage...

I unfortunately lowsided my FZ8 a few weeks ago, broke the right footrest, and had to move the passenger peg up until my new one came in. It hasn't been bad at all, there's no return spring if you accidentally bump the peg but that hasn't been a problem, what's more annoying is being unbalanced...

The Two Bro's exhaust sounds amazing, I've had it on my bike for about a week now and I don't think it's going to get old anytime soon. It's fairly loud without any of the inserts, but I just pop in some in-ear headphones for music/earplugs and it makes the exhaust nice and quiet but still...

Welcome, looking forward to seeing how your FZ8 comes along! :)

Welcome! Sounds like a really fun ride to work!! :D

Man, I'd kill for a set of those gold wheels. :D

I haven't done any motorcycle track days, but I have done plenty of track days in cars, and I imagine it will be pretty similar. I think the FZ-8 will be alright on the track, my buddy tracked his FZ-1 pretty frequently in the past and he loved every second of it. As far as what to expect on...

I probably should've done the six-month purchase, but I ended up doing the monthly payments with it being re-evaluated every six. Costs $48/mo through Progressive for me, can't complain!

Thanks for the welcome guys! Let's hope some seat options pop up, I'll have to look around town for some possibilities when I get the chance.

Wow, those really do look amazing!! Nice find!

Definitely, just let me know when you want to go, although I do want to wait until I get my frame sliders in/installed (they're already ordered). Better safe than sorry. :)

Oh man, this thread is way too short!! A helping hand... YouTube - ‪Motorcycle Hand Signals 2‬‏

Was there ever a mention about a discount for the forum members on these? I definitely want to pick some of these up to keep from attacking the tank with my crotch every time I have to brake hard!

Hey Speedo, where'd you pick up those tank grip pads from, I was looking around but didn't see any I liked particularly. I like the way those fit the lines of the bike though, and your mirrors look great! Hope mine turn out that well. The bar end mirrors I picked up off ->eBay<-

Where're you going to get your tune done? Once you get the tune done would you mind going for a ride with me so I can see a comparison between stock/tuned? (and here I was thinking I wouldn't be tempted to change the bike at all, haha)

Hey everyone, been reading over the forums for a while and decided to join in now that I've got some parts finally coming in for the bike. Picked up my FZ-8 in March, it's my first streetbike although I used to ride motocross in my teens. Hoping to get some time to get out to the track to really...

I get about 2.5-3g when I fill up and that's either on the last bar or flashing bar. I've run it for an extra trip to work with the light flashing all the way, which is ~30 miles, and filled up just over 3.5g I think. Definitely not really useful to have the light flash that early, but it's...

Picked up mine for $8k at the Powersports on Craig in March, it was the last one they had in at the time (sure seems like they're hard to find!). I ended up doing the 3% for three years as well through Yamaha's finance, pretty good deal. I know it isn't necessary to do, but I got the service...
