3B, I have an XL Arai and it will NOT fit. I also have an XL HJC that is a super tight fit.
As far a quality goes, I am not pleased. The cases come with a bungie cord that has a plastic buckle. That buckle broke in the first month. There is a cord that keeps the door from dropping all the...
Fun Ride and Compare Seats?
I have had my FZ1 for a few months and love it. By far the most fun bike, for my tastes of course, that I have ever owned.
There are two things I would like to change, meeting more riders in the central Texas area and get a better seat. I know there are tons of...

Yes, yes, keep these comments coming. :)

Here is a link to the bike. All the pics have the seat I have yet to try.

Folks,
Sorry for the long post, I guess sometimes I am just wordy. I am hoping to get some advice so I can actually buy the bike since I'm droolin'!
I test rode a used 09 FZ1 today. The bike was fantastic and I got almost everything I was hoping for in the ride. It was a relatively light...
