    exhaust

    Yeah, it should come with a little metal peice that you attach with a hex wrench. My akrapovic came with it. It takes 30sec to install it too. Quick and easy. LeoVince should have sent you one too if you ordered it direct. If not I'm sure it's cheap.

    It's finally been done.

    Nice. It didn't seem like the bike got much louder though? I figured more air means more noise. I gutted the Cat too. But I guess I'm gonna have to shorten my pipe a bit. It's really long anyways. I just want people to know I'm around for safety reasons, not so much for annoyance purposes.

    It's finally been done.

    I finally modded the airbox, installed the BMC, installed the throttle body plates, blocked off the air induction system, intalled the Fuel cutoff eliminator, gutted the cat, and finally re-mapped her for all of the following. I changed the oil/filter and had the Bridgestone BT016's put on a few...

    CopperDog Tutorial Videos

    Absolutely Amazing. Can't wait to see the rest. I'm modding the flies, installing the FCE, modding the airbox, and gutting the Cat this weekend. Can't Wait!!!! This video is great.

    correct gear & rpm for cruising at 50kph (31mph)

    I agree with you. It only makes sense when the powerband is more responsive and I feel more in control of the bike when at a decent RPM. I agree that cruising at 30mph in fourth or fifth gear is sillyness.

    Thanks for your help. I just got off the phone with Ivan and have the FCE and Plates are on the way. I'm also getting a picture of how to mod the airbox and I intend to gut the Cat also.

    Akrapovic Slip on installed popping on decel

    Thanks VA_Rider! I have actually had this same problem since installing my Akrapovic. I have a PCIII with a map made for the slip on and a stock air box. I am however getting ready to gut out the cat, enlarge the airbox/replace with bmc filter, and then possibly remove the throttle plates. I...

    Great Weather For This Sunday!

    Yeah, you definetly have time on your side, as well as an impeccable driving record. Also keep this in mind...... Most of the radar guns that cops use cannot get a good lock on a sportbike, so your disptuting of the posted speed may work out. Also....."ALWAYS' ask the officer to show you his...

    OK, so I got the BMC ordered....

    Thanks JonDaddy, I know you gave me some links to stuff on the fz10a site, but I'm unaware of anywhere else to order these plates?

    OK, so I got the BMC ordered....

    Thanks NJFZ1, so whats the deal with Ivan's Plates? What is thier purpose? more air, sounds like I'm definetly going to need do this as well ad then it will need to be re-mapped for fuel right?

    OK, so I got the BMC ordered....

    Thanks NJFZ1. Is there something that is removable, or do I just get a hacksaw and increase the diameter of the airbox where the air comes in?

    OK, so I got the BMC ordered....

    I was just wondering what type of airbox mod/ throttle body/ whatever else I should do when I decide to replace the oem air filter. I would like to free up as much hp as possible. I'm wanting to gut out the catalytic converter also. Here's what I've done so far; 1.) Power Commander III...

    I have the Shoei RF-1000 with a Metallic Smoke Visor. I love the Helmet. I get compliments on it all the time. GO E-bay for making it possible for getting a 500.00 helmet for 350.00

    Dunlop Sportmax Qualifier II

    Thanks JonDaddy82, that's good news, I thought I might have done something silly, but instead it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Thanks again to all of you who commented.

    Damn you! That is on my list of stuff to do before I die. I hope it was awesome! What was your top speed?

    Dunlop Sportmax Qualifier II

    Just wanted to say thanks to VA_Rider for his advice on the BT016's for my Fz1. I had them installed yesterday and although they seemed a little loose at first, after about 100miles, they started to really get sticky and held up up very nicely. I guess when any tire is brand new, they can take a...
