No drilling. It mounts on top of the stock one fairing. It comes with some longer screws that you use on the bottom.
If you go to the review section you will see my notes on instalation. Took me about 5 mins to get it installed.
What did you do to your bike today?

Installed Givi crash bars today.. really like the look and hopefully will give good protection. Also I rest my legs on the top of them when I cruise. Took off radiator and installed Graves Smog Block off Plates and took out the Smog system. Threw on a RAM mount GoPro handlebar mount. Added a few gold Yamaha Decal stickers.
May I ask what kind of "door end molding" you used to eliminate the buzzing? After 1,500 miles, it's really starting to get to me.

Yes please elaborate. What kind of moulding and where exactly is it placed? My chief complaint about the bike is that buzzing coming from the headlight area at certain rpm. I thought it was from my windscreen.

Try to consciously keep a loose grip on the bars at all times. It will lessen the effects of the wind buffeting considerably.

headlight buzzing...
It is meant for the edges of car doors... so you don't ding them in parking lots...
it's at any autopart store.
Just cut it to length and slide it between the joints around the head light.
I cut a few of them at an angle to make them blend in a bit.

After crossing the 600 mile mark I changed the oil, and the filter. Went pretty smooth. User Shell T6 5W-40, and a K&N filter. No leaks, or any other issues.
Will admit that for some weird reason, the bike feels like it has more power, it feels more responsive, and yes it feels smooth like it should after an oil change.

You only just hit the 600 mark !? Gotta ride that beast more.

I know I do, I think last week I did the most riding since I got the bike. Was 450 last Sunday. Hopefully once the 1000 mile mark is crossed, I will be riding it more and more. Feels good to finally being able to cross the 6K RPM mark.
I tested my new GoPro mount yesterday afternoon! Good afternoon cruise but the wind was pretty bad! Still deciding on getting a windscreen. I love the Givi engine guards. I rest my legs on them all the way back from Alexandria on the freeway lol!

Nice video. Did you purposely cut out the tach and speedometer?
No. Just put it on and wanted to see the view. But I may keep it there..... I dunno. Don't really mind not seeing the speedo and tach. What would you guys do?
I see you've got the Sargent seats. How do you like them (particularly the rider's portion - does it have less tendency to make you slide forward?).
I've looked at their site and didn't see a listing for the FZ8 or Fazer 8, only the FZ1 - is that what you got?

Just a nice small cruiser with some cobra pipes and a back rest, this will be used for lazy rides thru the country with my girlfriend.
handles two people way better.

What am I looking at besides a sexy bike parked in the middle of the street?
