Woohoo! Thanks for the kind words. Been trying on and off for a couple of years, so its great to finally get a result. The photo was taken on an awesome summer evening ride a few weeks back. I just had to drop off the back of the group to take a few shots before the sun fully disappeared.

Had a similar problem on mine - was corrosion of one pin in the block connector. Consider cutting that connection out and installing a separate connector. Once corrosion has started - it's likely to happen again.

Congrats Lytehouse. I knew it was going to be a tough challenge before I entered this month. Seems my instincts were right!

I'm definitely considering dropping at least 3 teeth off my rear next time it needs to be replaced. On the FZ1 I find anything over 4k rpm to be a bit buzzy for my liking. I was going to add 1T to the front, but there seem to be issues finding an 18T here in NZ - and if there are problems...

Looking for a set of radiator side covers in reasonable condition. Preferably black. I'd like to tidy up the radiator since my bike was missing the covers when I bought it.

Are you selling the radiator side covers?

Hi there everyone. Just picked my 2007 FZ1 up this evening. It's my second bike since getting back into riding about a year back. In the last year I've clocked up over 17,000 Ks on my Wee Strom - just about all commuting. So I've decided to try something different and been looking out for a late...
