    The beauty of Balance

    I'm with DenArnold on that one, well said.

    Would someone help me?

    Yeah, there's no way you could do that here in atlanta. Bike theft is horrible. My friend had his 2008 GSXR 1000 stolen right off his porch last week. I leave my helmet on the bike when I'm in the mountains of North GA, mainly because there's a better type of morals that people have there, than...

    Needing some input?

    Thanks VA_Rider, so what your saying is......I'll be killin two birds with one stone? So I should get the sprocket, and I won't need the speedohealer because the stock speedo is a little off anyways?

    Needing some input?

    I am torn between getting a 16t front sprocket or not. I'm not sure how much this will affect my speedometer and don't know how much a speedohealer costs? Is it worth it guys? I've already done Akra Carbon Slip-on, PCIII, Ivan's E-map, FCE, AIS Block Off, Flies, BMC filter, Airbox Mod.......I...

    There you all are !!!

    If you decide to mod the flies and do the Air induction system block off, then you might as well install the FCE (fuel cutoff eliminator) about 100 bucks or so. You can get this from Ivans Performance. Just give him a call. He'll talk to you over the phone and explain the purpose for what the...

    There you all are !!!

    Yeah, the slip-on and power commander with a new map will feel like a completely different bike. Also a sproket is a cheap but apparently great mod... although I havent done it yet.

    Ride your own!

    I'm jealous guys. My girlfriend told me that she will never get on the back of my bike.......ever. We almost broke up over a few months ago, just because I bought a bike and the FZ1 is my first bike, But as time went on she has seen how much joy it has brought me, and now accepts it as a part...

    Potential Newbie

    Go with the FZ1. I have an 08' and love it. After a few important mods, it feels more like an R1, than it does a sport cruiser, but without sacrificing on the comfort! GO GET IT!!

    Slip on

    That's a solid choice. My brother has one on his YZF 600R. My 08 FZ1 has an Akrapovic slip-on and I love it. The two bros and the yoshi are probably a little louder, but the craftsmenship of the Akra is unmatched. All 3 are extremely great choices and are all easy to install. Go with...

    How long will you live?

    I'm too mean to die...lol. It said I will live to be 86, sweet! I guess that's if no one runs out in front of my motorcycle while I'm riding.

    Summer is Fading

    It's flooding here in Atlanta, like it does in the mid-west. I mean 25 inches in 3 days is unheard of in Atlanta. And it's still pouring. I'm headed to Dick's sporting good to get a kayak so I can ride it down the interstate.....I mean paddle...lol

    fastest you've had your fz1???

    You're an Animal hahA
  14. drclarksmith

    fastest you've had your fz1???

    I've had mine to 165, but that was before all the mods. Not sure about now? It's pretty tough to bring it higher than that because of lack of long straight aways, that are not car/cop infested. It was a little wicked, but there was no one else around. I would never ride that fast around other cars.

    How many lose their License?

    My advice is to know your area. If you live near a city or if you live in a remote area without a lot of traffic, will play a major role on hittin the throttle. The urge strikes me every time I ride, but the bike accelerates and decellerates so fast that you can go from 70 to 130 and back to...

    InteGrated tailight wiring

    Yeah, that sounds about right. I put one in on my 08. and had to do a little trial and error because the wires had to be cut to remove the factory bumber that it comes with lol. If you notice that nothing is working after touching some wires together to match the Right and left, don't...

    2010 fz1

    Yeah, the Black definetly looks better than the silver. It kinda hides how ugly the stock muffler really is. But ahhh, such a pretty bike!
  18. drclarksmith

    The indestructible muffler cat?

    It may be way too late, for this is an old thread, but I have my stock muffler in near perfect condition, and I live 30minutes from jasper, GA so no shipping is necessary. ' Let me know if you still need it.

    Best Color

    It's gotta be the Granite Grey. It's mean lookin!
  20. drclarksmith

    It's finally been done.

    Yes, and don't think for a minute that it can be done without heating it. I just did it with the blowtorch and it worked out perfectly. No porblems, but be patient with it, I had to reheat a few of the screws to get them loose. But all came out with a #0 Phillips.
