I will be crossing America on my FZ8, NY to Washington State. I plan to do the trip in 16 days riding 3 hours in the morning and then 3 hours in the late afternoon. To get ready for the trip I have been adding and moving things around on the FZ8. The good thing is nothing I have done is final, it can all be removed with just a few bolts restoring the FZ8 back to it's perfect self.
I have most of the mods listed on my blog for my trip at: Throttle Across America –-- NY to Oak Harbor Washington state.
if you want to take a look.
Let me know if you have any comments about what I have done to the bike and anything you can think of to make the trip more comfortable.
Mods Include:
- Corbin Seat - I'm 5'9" 245lbs, ok, I'm fat.
- Givi Side cases
- AddMoreLight break/tail (Did not connect the turn signals).
- Trailer Break/Tail connector for aux break - The stock like may be covered by a one gallon gas tank.
- GPS Tracking device
- Mirror extenders
- Givi Engine Guard
- Real Platform for stacking Duffel Bags
- Highway pegs (Yes they look stupid).
- LED lights up front for being seen, not to light up the road.
- Givi Wind deflector
- GPS mount
- a few other bits
