Dream Machine do top notch paint, Based in Long Eaton. Really helped my mate out too back in 2002 just before our trip to the TT, he had binned his ZX6R near the plank and leggit...complete with his custom kawasaki race paint from dream machine...the boys took pity on him and plastic welded his...
i was down last week, always keep my eye out for other fz1's dont seem to see too many, more fazers though. Im grounded this week (better half has me sorting the garden for BBQ season!) should be down next week though
cool paintjob!
Im down the road in burton, maybe see you at five ways bike night, bassets pole, matlock or mfn! keep an eye out for black 09 fz1 flanked by an 06 black fz1.........you will hear us before you see us lol
lever ass. mount mirrors??
i ditch the standard ones that only showed me my own elbows and put on some bar end mounted 'cafe racer' or 'street fighter' mirrors from ebay, about £15.
Had to get longer bolts to hold the bar end weights on because of the extra width of the mirrors but its...
yeah but i was prepared to mess about and i think 100 for the can on its own is fair but generally yes, you get what what you pay for. I definatley would not have accepted having to modify it if i had payed more.
The can should see me through this summer with a grin, with a bit luck and a...
Dont get scared just dont ride like a muppet for the first 100 miles, ride like its a wet road and you will be fine. You can have a set of tyres rubbed in well under 100 miles but it depends how you ride.
My mate was a gimp and booted it straight from the garage with fresh tyres on......on a...
i nearly bought one from a company over here very similar but with the strap around it. The racefit growler is similar in that it does not have the strap around.
The rivets appear to go straight through.
It sounds pretty damn good, a fair bit of popping, but i havent done the AIS blocking...
it the 09 bike so throttle snatch isn't problem.
the next mods im thinking of (after sorting the AIS) are more cosmetic.....i fancy a nice set of ASV levers and maybe braided hoses along with a wider renthal bar.......i find the standard bar a little narrow. maybe lower the hight of the bar...
Havent ridden them my self but my mate has an 06 FZ1 with road attacks on, he seems to rate them.....will try and get more info out of him and let you know
waving???????? never really done that over here, maybe a bit of a wave come twirling of the hand to indicate to other riders if youve seen a speed camera van or parked up police car just down the road...........it all about the head nod here in the UK. nearly all riders greet each other that way...
me and my biking mate lloyd swap bikes all the time.....only thing is they are both FZ1's! his is an 06 mine an 09....does help us make comparisons between mods and its a wayof checking if we think either of the 'twins' is doing something we think it shouldn't.
i can think of possibly 1...
lonerider59; looking at the dyno graph it was an increase across the board, will bring the graph into work tomorrow so i can scan it in and post it in this thread.
va_rider; i assume it was i had rode it 'not slowly' the 20mins to the dyno centre and the bike was only stood while we set the...
