Does anyone know where I might be able to buy a rear seat cowl for a Gen1?

So after all that bullshit from the coppers, they didn't even take the You Tube video down!!

Thanks Guys. Great site Dustin. According to that, I'm pretty close to spot on standard gearing.

Gen 1 FZ1. At 100kph (60mph), I'm doing 4200 rpm. Does this sound like standard gearing? Seems a bit high when my XX and Z are only at 3500 rpm.

Back in the 90's I had an immaculate 1100 Katana. Went on a group ride with about 20 bikes. Stopped at a well known biker friendly pub for lunch. Must of been 50 bikes there already with most patrons on the verandahs and beer garden. We all pulled up to park. I was about half way in the pack. In...

Hey JB, nice looking bike. Reckon she would have a wicked noise WOT with that exhaust or lack of one! ;) Welcome aboard!

Ipswich boy here with an 03 Bumblebee. Anyone in SE Qld know any rides goin on, please let me know. All my "old" bikes riding mates got out of the game and I'm keen to find new friends :)

H People, Been a bit of a lurker for the last few months. I picked myself what I consider an absolute bargain awhile ago. It's an 03 Bumblebee FZ1, 30K klms in pretty good nick for $3KAUS. These go for around $5K down here. Oh and I bought it of fleabay but did get a look at it 1st as it was...
