I've had 190's on my FZ1 before but I don't remember if they were 190/50' or 190/55's. I couldn't tell any difference out on the open road compared to the 180/55's that are spec'ed for the GEN I (2001-2005). The trade-off is supposed to be between traction and better turn-in. 190/50's...

Welcome to the board! I currently have an '03 FZ1 that I'm getting ready to make some minor mods too. And I remember the original V-Max. I was on my '77 Kawi Z650-B2. I was just starting to get on the throttle when a guy I knew from high school blew by me in 4th gear. When he got on the...

My vote is in. I couldn't figure out how to vote for myself though :)

Right back at you, Kuri. You can never go wrong with your basic black naked street bike. Every after-market part you buy can be any color you want, and it will always stand out. With a bike like yours though, I would think you would be headed for the mountains. We have no shortage of...

Here in the U.S. you basically have to study the "Rules of the Road" hand book, and then take a written test. You have to pass an eye test and, you have to demonstrate proficiency with your motorcycle in the parking lot at the D.M.V. (Department of Motor Vehicles). That's about it. It doesn't...

Yeah, I just went with my initials and the Model/Number of my bike. I wasn't feeling too creative. Besides, everytime I come up with something really good, it's already taken.

Thanks. I haven't really done it justice. I never seem to have any money left over at the end of the month. I have the chin fairing and hugger on but, I still need to do some kind of under-seat-eliminator-kit, flush mount the blinkers, etc. etc. ...and of course, the options keep dwindling...

Alright then, I'll wait.

Please help the noob: O.K., step 1 accomplished. Picture uploaded. Now, How do I vote for Picture of the month. I'm sure it's right in front of me but, for the life of me, I just can't see it. thanx in advance.

thanx; i will try again

Entry submitted, I think.... Please help the noob: I hit the enter key instead of the shift key and sent my photo ( I think ) before I was finished typing. So .... If the admins could please confirm that I actually submitted my photo ( or tell me how this photo contest works ) that...

Thanks bro. That's awesome, I'd like to be a contender. I'll go in search of the thread for that but, I think I still need help when it comes to posting pictures? Maybe this is the only way? There's probably a newbie thread for that too. tayl

newbie to the forum Hey, what's up. I've been riding for many years but I am not much of a mechanic. I just like to ride but I have been thinking about doing some mods. I currently have a 2003 Yellow and Black FZ1 that I bought back in December of 2002 back when I lived in Boulder, CO...
