Had this FZ1 a few years ago, then sold it. Big mistake. Recently bought a 2014 White and would like to find the chin spoiler and radiator side covers on the earlier FZ1(in black). Anyone know who made these? Thanks.

Go to YouTube, put in FZ1 and the exhaust you're interested in, and see which sounds the best to you. I had an 08 FZ1 with the Mivv GP Carbon Fiber, and now have an 09 with the Suono stainless. Both sound great to me.
Had a set for 7 years. Still waterproof, no tears or burns(yet). Kept me dry even when hot and when cool kept me warm when wearing a mesh jacket. Will buy another set when needed.

Removing Sticker
Try a hair dryer. Use low heat and be careful around plastic and rubber(cover with wash cloth). Start with a fingernail under a corner. Once you have enough to grip just peel slowly. Usually the heat softens the adhesive. Use goo-gone to remove remaining adhesive.
Had a Madstad adjustable windshield mount on my 09 VStrom. It did a great job of smoothing airflow around the rider. They now have a rig for the Gen 2 FZ1. Has anyone had experience with the FZ1 Madstad rig? Thanks.

Like in-line 4s. Had a Bandit 1250, traded for a cruiser and made a mistake. Couldn't find another Bandit like I wanted. Found a 2008 F1 with 200 miles, paid $5600, and can't wait to put in in the wind today.
