    Gloves choices - I know right ?

    Not quite under $100, but close. I use the A* SP-2's. Alpinestars SP-2 Gloves - RevZilla

    under tank panel/ tank side cover REMOVAL

    Yeah I believe they're just stuck on with adhesive. Taking them off doesn't get you anywhere though unless you just want to replace them with carbon fiber or something.

    First Post

    You sound like me, except I'd replace the "do wheelies" with "drag knees." I also always speak my mind. I'm not going to tip toe around how I feel just because I'm worried about offending someone. I like you already :sport12:

    Ride magazine fz1 used guide - respect at last

    I agree with jared. I miss my FZ1 and I think it was an excellent bike, but only after a long list of mods. Stock is nothing to be particularly impressed about, especially without Ivan's flash. Aside from Ohlins suspension, my Tuono is stock, and my old fully modded FZ1 was still just a notch...

    Tank grip poll

    No mess at all. Peels off like a clean sticker.

    Tank grip poll

    After riding with tank grips, they are the very first thing I put on a new bike. Once you've used them, you'll never want to ride without them. I use the TechSpec ones. I had some issues with the adhesive separating from the grip itself. I sent them some pictures and they sent me a new set no...

    How Did You "Train" for the Twisties?

    Yes I agree. The track is no doubt the best place to hone your skills. However, not everyone can just go to the track whenever. You can also definitely improve your skills on the street without pushing your limits.

    Wanted: Huge ass screen. Borrow or buy.

    Hey tricky, I'm in Santa Rosa and I have a Yamaha oem Gen 2 touring screen in brand new condition. I'd sell it to you for $50 pickup or plus shipping.

    How Did You "Train" for the Twisties?

    Just as you said, it's all about finding a good road with great corners. I have my goto road that really nothing can compare to. Many solo trips up there, then following some of the fast guys once I got better is how I got to the level of riding I'm at now. It literally makes no difference what...

    so fz1 number 2 finished

    Are those tires takeoffs or are you actually ripping that hard on a stretched bike!?

    New Aprilia Tuono V4Rs

    Unfortunately with California's ridiculous laws I don't think my dealer can do that stuff anymore. Either way though, I'd just send my ecu to AF1 and do the throttle learning myself with guzzidiag. Good to hear that it'll fix the throttle problem though.

    New Aprilia Tuono V4Rs

    Oh man I love this bike too. My only complaint is the throttle response at low speed and low openings. It's very jerky and I end up having to use my clutch at lower speeds. Do you have that problem with the race flash? And just one other thing I don't like is the really slippery seat! How much...
