Speedo-gearing Hey guys, one thing i did notice is i was getting about 36 miles to the gallon on highway doing about 75 most of the way, I also noticed my speedo said 80 but my gps said 75, do you think the gearing may have been changed prior to me getting the bike?

That's why I said the black was faster, because I actually did here the blue was faster, lol, hoping to stop that nasty rumor, hahahaha

Soft bags They aren't anything special, just large Cortech saddle bags and the large Tourmaster seat bag. I have the Givi luggage rack underneath to keep them from swinging into tire area. I used 2 cargo nets to hold the bad on top, which made a good spot to put extra gloves and sweat shirt and...

Black and Gray Yep its black and gray, i heard they were faster than the blue ones, lol.

Sliders Thanks, already had them on it when I got it:-)

Oh I had to try this one the way, haha. :stunta]: Just to stretch my legs while doing 80, :woot: :woot: Oh and Satan's Pegs, 2 thumbs up.

blue light special only had one cop look at me on the way up and he was on a motorcycle, that pulled up next lane over and gave me the slow down a bit sign and then continued past me and off the exit, wehhhh, close one.

Made it home Well I made it home with the new bike, 1063 miles and can't wait to get on it again, maybe for not that long a ride right away though. Only had one close call last night, pouring rain doing about 50 in heavy traffic, some woman decides to change lanes and almost takes me out, can't...

I picked up my new to me 09 FZ1 today in Forte Oglethorpe GA, it had 1812 miles on it, I spent 2 hrs in a sunny HOT parking lot putting luggage racks on (courtesy of Old School), wiring up my Garmin GPS, mounting SATANs pegs and figuring out how to mount my new soft luggage without messing up...

Stress Riser What?? English Please, I see no problem with it if your using a heavy guage pipe.

I hear that's what its made for, I'm flying to GA monday and putting it on under my new soft saddlebags and then driving 1100 miles home to massachusets, i tried peeling the Snider's off at the dealership, and believe me it doesn't slip...kinda like a very thick version of that stuff on the...

Nice waterproof outlet, where did you get it?

Clear paint protector I got a whole package of it at Enfield Motorsports in CT, they use it on the saddlebags of all the new bikes in the showroom because when a buyer is trying out a new bike they always scuff their foot across top of new hard luggage. Its a clear non-adhesive static vinyl...

Nice, it took me some years to really miss my 550, as slow as it was it was beauty.

Hey Doug, welcome aboard...Bob

Can i ask a stupid question, why do they come in square housing, they just seem out of place in pics....

Oh my god, I had a 76 550 four back in 1981 when i got my license, almost exactly the same, except i had crash bars on front, and a king-queen seat with sissy bar. I'll never forget it, metal flake orange paint and all...LOL

Oh it matters how fast you get to speed limit, I did that once, ok maybe twice in my 87 Grand National, 0 to 45 really quickly, they banged me for reckless driving, and court fee's, Oh that hurt. that was in Mass by the way.
