Anyone wearing one of these? I'm in the market for a new helmet and am wondering about the noise. And yes, I've seen AGV's new Pista GP helmet, but they won't be available for awile.

Any of you put on CF radiator side covers? If so, where'd you get em and are you happy w/the look/etc?

Anyone seen an R1 transformed into a FZ1? I've seen a R1 'streetfighter' but how bout a R1 w/the ridding position of an FZ w it's 1/2 fairing?

After doing my first track day in September, on my FZ1, I decided to get a dedicated bike for the track (I think someone on this site named it a 'track slut'). After surfing the various sites AND trying to determine how much I really wanted to spend, I took the plunge and purchased a bike...

Any of you guys put one of these in your bike? A buddy of mine made a few from 24V DeWalt batterys (he has 'em in his Ducati and H-D) and gave me one to 'try' . . . . said if I want it, he'd charge me $100. Benefits, other then the weight?

Prior to my track day, I put a new set of EBC 'HH' pads in. Obviously, I used the brakes 'HARD' at Thunder Hill and the rotors have a slight brown/heat tinge to them. I'm assuming there slightly 'glazed' . . . is there a way of removing the glaze off the rotors?

Yes, I've done a search, but it seems what I want . . . anyway, what I WANT, is some 6061/7075 pegs W/the same material for the attachments! I have a set on the bike that I use for 'track day' and since I almost ground them off, I want to replace them w/my 'real stuff'. My concern is all the...

Well, I did my first track day, at Thunder Hill, and to say I had FUN is an massive understatement! My FZ is stock, other then the Ohlin, Russell Day Long seat, and I replaced the stock pegs w/a set of thinner ones, for more ground clearance. The seat caused a problem with trying to 'lean off'...

I'm packed up and leaving for my first track day in a few hours . . . Thunder Hill! Wanna thank you guys for sending me video of the track/etc--THANKS! I'm going w/a friend, that rides a CBR1000RR, and has been to TH several times + two other guys that break the 2 minute barrier there . . . so...

While scoping out the R1 fork posts, I see where many of you have swapped MC's, which greatly improved braking 'feel', something of which I'm VERY interested! Is there a one MC that you guys would recommend, or any R1/R6 MC would be an improvement? How 'bout a Brembo MC?

Is there an easy way to match the paint? I've got a red '08 and want the new Givi V35's colored matched . . . . Yamaha have the paint, or do I have to try and match it at a auto paint store?

Got back on Tuesday, from my 8 day 'jaunt' through N/E Oregon, Idaho, Montana, & Washington. A total of 2850 miles . . . . I spent the first night in Bend, OR and then to a friends place, about 50 miles up Hwy 395 from Hwy 26. From there, I headed through Baker City and onto McCall Idaho...

How big of a PIA is changing the plugs? Gonna do it this weekend before taking off on my 'big' ride (approx 4000 miles).

I'm going to do my first track day in 3 weeks and am going to put a set of Dunlop Q2's on my bike. What kind of tire pressures should I run? I'm headin' to Thunder Hill for my 'first' outing.

Is there ANY issue w/mounting the SW-Motech hardware, for the Givi V35's when an Ohlin is on the bike, due to the dampner/preload adjusters being mounted on the side? And will a Yoshi clear the V35 bags? Thanks!

After 2 sets of PP 2CT's, I'm getting ready to put on a set of PR2's. I've been very happy w/the PP2CT's, but I'm taking a few trips (Laguna Seca is trip1!) and will end up putting 5-6000 miles on the bike in 8 weeks and want a set of tires to last! Question: same tire pressures in the...

I'm waiting for Hellgate to post how his total ECU 're-flash' worked, as I'm really tired of my throttle snatch/etc, BUT . . . . I've got a question for you guys that are 'ECU Smart' and since I know nothing about electronics . . . Would a '06/'07/etc R1 ECU 'fix' all the issues w/the Gen II...

After this weekends 1000 mile ride, I've got some mods I'd like to make to the windscreen and am wondering if any of you have already done/tried it. First, I've got the TALL Cee Baileys windscreen. While large, it does a decent job of protection when its cool/cold/foggy. Problem is, when it...

Alright guys, I've posted before on this topic, but I'm getting ready to spend $$$$$$$ and have a few more questions: 1) It 'appears' that the SW-Motech rack is the way to go, as from what I've read, its a simple 'bolt on' operation . . . correct? 2) With the hard bags attached, is there...

How many of you have gone to the hard bag/Givi set up? I'm seriously looking at this up grade and for those of you that have, a few questions: 1) Will a helmet fit in the V35 bags? 2) Is the hardware attachment a 'bolt on' OR is there modifications that have to be made to the rear of the...
