Just plain crazy...
Yes, supposedly Guhl says that he makes the sub throttles open fully sooner, so less restriction. And I had mine completely out! And I really think it hurt the performance.

I didn't trim mine though...... Maybe that is a better way to go.

But as my bike sits right now..... It's awesome.

Nothing much added

just frame sliders, radiator guard, center stand and Givi fly screen. As for performance mods ... if I had wanted a FZ1 I would have bought one.
Took a ride on a FZ1 on Saturday and am considering it. :D

Could you tell me how you did your flies mod? did you cut them or get new smaller ones?

Tin snips that cut left from harbor freight, used 100 grit to Debur it and make it smooth.
Here's the link from a FZ-1 guy I used.

or if you can get someone to cut out the right diameter for you that'll work like on a water jet system.

The computer on the fz8 is pretty smart and it adjust the idle and gives it a Lil kick.

Sweeeeet! I'm not a mechanical person so Im pretty uncomfortable doing engine mods and things that require lots of parts...if I can get all that with guhls...score!

Did you install a switch in line to turn off your HID?

Nope..the key is just turned right there..no ignition or motor...when I fire it up..h.i.d. Fires up...but if I have the high beam switch on and fire the motor..the h.i.d. Does NOT turn on and it will stay like this...but here in Cali..red is illegal on the front..no matter what...so I prefer to have the h.i.d. When I'm not taking pictures...plus the 5000k bulb drowns out the red almost completely when the high beam is on!

H.i.d. With high beam from 3 feet away

told my girl friend I was going to buy some cat food and ended up riding along the coast. the sun was shooting through the clouds making some cool rays but I only had my phone which is really annoying being a photographer.



will have to go out tomorrow with my camera.

is that reflective wheel tape? that looks sweet

Yup. I've tried three brands and this guy's stuff seems to be legit. It's noticably more reflective than others on Amazon.

link didnt work for me but i googled and found it. did you use yellow?

I went with Red actually. I find it catches other driver's eyes faster.

This stuff really Glows at night. I've had people stop me at lights to tell me how bright it is.

An added bonus is that it matches my gear perfectly. :D

I emailed the guy and he thinks that the yellow will match the forks better than the orange. If you email him, he will also offer a slight discount.
