I decided to ditch the FZ-1 and get something that is good looking, powerful, yet refined. The best part was during my first ride my group made a stop for lunch. We parked next to a group of about 7-10 guys who seemed pretty decent, sport touring bikes mostly, one was a very nice looking BMW...

The stock one draws a lot less unwanted attention Just gut the 2" and 6" catalytic converters, cut it open on the backside and remove any unwanted baffles, then re-weld and paint. Cheap, looks stock, and has much better airflow, actually comparable to what people spent $200+ dollars on for a...

My friend did the test drive. They gave him a voucher to send in to receive the glasses. He sent it in and they sent him the glasses. They are Oakley Gas Can model. If you don't ride with a helmet these glasses still would suck for cycle riding. No curve or wrap around the eyes. They look...

My opinion, well, you broke the law. You knew it before and after you broke that law. Suck up the consequences. I've done the same thing. I can't say I haven't, but the law is the law. You don't get to pick and choose which ones you follow. You break one and you take the risk of paying the...

Seriously, who would try and sell this? I don't think you could give this away! Are all those little dots in the FIRST picture porosity or is this common from pot aluminum welding? More, I assume, porosity in the second picture. In the third picture are those not cracks along the bottom...

@65 beaver, I sent Richard a PM on the other site with your number and a copy of the link to this thread. Good luck. Trust me when I say, if you get the pegs from him you will love them. They work great. I'm about 5' 7.8742238746872" tall and my legs have a slight bend when I put my feet on...

For a Gen I I must say that is not an ugly bike! JK. Your bike looks awesome. I hate yellow, but with the way yours looks, I'd be happy to call it my own.

Yea, as Dustin and NJFZ1 said I would sell for what you have on the principle of your loan, not the loan total. The total payoff of the loan could be less than what you see on your payment slips. Just a thought.

That's what I was thinking (Lars air box mod and/or high flow filter) being the threshold for a PCIII or PCV, but I don't think the small/no flies would fall into the higher airflow category. Whether or not you have flies or modded flies you control the airflow by throttle position (controlling...

I couldn't agree more. Harley Davidson has a bunch of loyal suckers, if you ask me. I love the fact that people that dream of owning a Harley piss their money away on t-shirts and other crap to show their loyalty to a product they don't even own or never have.

I'm personally a no decal guy. In fact I have mine stripped of all FZ-1 and Yamaha badges. The only thing I have left is the clutch cover 'YAMAHA'. Looking for a way to rid myself of that and re-brand the bike with a totally different car manufacturer that doesn't even make bikes. I almost...

Not really Cobalt. If you READ my post you'll see I had to buy it for my girlfriends bike that doesn't come with a center stand, so I had a need for it. It's free to use on my bike, so why not remove the UGLY bulky center stand that adds weight and obviously a ground clearance hazard for some...

That's the idea Blanchy. If she can't fit, she can't ride. Don't tell my girlfriend I said that, she didn't fit comfortably :shame:

I say piss on all of these solutions above. My friend with an '09 FZ-1 removed his center stand to clean up the looks and as a bonus has less weight. When he needs it for oil changes or chain maintenance or whatever, he puts two bolts in, without the springs or other stuff, and uses the center...

I recently bought a used care from a friend, Phil. He forgot to give me the back seat headrests that he had removed for better rear viewing while driving. Today I met him at another friends new/old house to do some trade work on his place. Phil brought the headrests, but I had no way of...
