I actually have the Black Danmoto Jisu [URL="http://www.dan-moto.com/DM_US/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&inc_subcat=1&search_in_description=1&categories_id=18&keyword=fz8"]. It's not bad for $140 to your door in like 2 weeks. The strap that comes with the exhaust is basically...

I have a cousin that lives in Charlotte and a pretty flexible schedule on the weekends. Just have to ask a friend to watch my dogs and I can usually make time to ride whenever it's nice out.

Just ordered a danmoto exhaust. Can't wait to see how it sounds. Yamaha FZ8 All Years JISU Black [EX-00378] - $135.00

Anyone live near Aiken, SC. It's just on the other side of the Savannah River from Augusta, GA. I'd love to even see another FZ8, apparently I'm the only person in SC with one!

Are those still the stock bar ends with the bar end mirrors (looks like CRG's) attached? What size are the mirrors?

Thank you! I am super excited to finally see someone who took the plunge and purchased a Danmoto. I've been looking at them for about a month now but just wasn't sure about the Made in China factor (although damn near everything is). Excellent step by step on the install. It sounds great...

Any suggestions on cold weather gear? It doesn't get frigid around here so I still plan on riding to work when I can. I'm mainly interested in gloves. getting in the low 50's in the a.m. and starting to feel it after a few minutes at 50 mph plus.

I actually went back and put the clips on but that was after the pics. When I first did it I only had 4 butt connectors to splice the wires and wired it backwards like an idiot the first time. I made sure to put that in my somewhat vague step by step. Gotta learn from your mistakes! I still...

I saw where someone mentioned knocking the center out of the cat but didn't have any before pics so I though I would post one for anyone curious. I haven't knocked the center out though was just playing around and curious to see how loud the bike was without the pipe for a second. Only let it...

[/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] Here are a few pics. No laughing at the ziptie! Just a safety precaution until I'm convinced it's not going anywhere!

How do you upload the pics and post them on a reply? No matter how small I make them the upload fails. I can always just put some in my album but some need explanation.

So the more I look at my FE the more I like it. I didn't get any pics while installing but I'll try to give an explanation of what I did. 1. Obviously you have to remove the rear fender first. I disassembled it to see what could be reused. Turns out the metal bit that holds the side reflectors...

Has anyone considered getting rid of the front headlight and "fairing/windscreen" and mounting a couple of big round beauties? I really like the way the duel headlight looks on other bikes but haven't taken all the bits off front to see if it will look right on our bikes or not. The other...

I really like the LEDs mano is getting. At first I wasn't sure but they look pretty good. I just posted a couple pics in my album showing my cheapy mirrors and DIY FE. The mirrors are growing on me but when I decide to actually pay for a good set I'll probably get the round CRGs.

Welcome! This is a great place to find tips and get input.

I think it would look better if they just did the frame and all the top bits in flat grey as well instead of part grey part black. The gold and grey is a little odd however. Keep the black can though!

Looks like I was wrong about my rattle. Turned out to be the front "windscreen". I just took it off and added a bit of black foam weather stripping around the bits by the headlight. I never ride without a helmet but this was annoying me so bad I took a quick ride around the block sans helmet and...

Plastic in front of the gas cap I had the same thing happen to me with the bit in front of the gas cap but I only took it off after the vibration started. I'm about to add some extra foam and hope that takes care of it when I clean up my airbox mod this afternoon.

I just finished my first weekend of actually taking my bike apart just to see how things work. Turns out I also got some $15 mirrors in the mail from, unfortunately, China. I decided to do the Lars air box mod and a super ghetto FE that could actually work with the right materials and a little...

Lars mod Did it. Love it. Make sure you have a long 4mm allen wrench available, otherwise it's a complete pain pulling the box with a standard allen wrench. The growl is very noticeable when you crack the throttle. Only downside I can see would be riding in the rain you have a chance of getting...
