One thing about the ZG double bubble screen, when you mount it on the bike the edge of the top fairing makes contact on the screen, along the edge towards the center from the mounting screws. When the screen sits for a while it rubs against the fairing and leaves a mark on both the screen and...

30mm is the height increase over the rear axle.

And so it begins... :sinister:

I shortened the stock fender 10cm, still works well and it looks better.

I have the same screen as NJFZ1, but clear instead of dark smoke (there's a light smoke too and also other colors). I like it more than the stock screen, it takes away more wind and it's less turbulent flow than stock, it works at all speeds.

:retard: No it does not. Come on, the pressure is applied with your fingers for crying out loud. Uneven pad wear is caused by sticky caliper pistons.

I swapped sides on the washers under the rearsets mount bolts, and then I swapped the rubbers for FZ6 type. Fixed.

For me the RC30 is much more desirable than the NR750, probably for it's racing heritage, but I guess you have to be an old fart to appreciate this in the first place. I took the pics from a Swedish discussion forum, the younger dudes there don't understand the hype, they think the latest R1 is...

Now the bikes can be seen in the store.

I think you should visit some track days this year. That would teach you some humility...

XJR1300 is a naked bike with a lot more torque than the FZ1, do you think it will be easier to hang on to that? :rmwl:

They put drugs in that makes you think it tastes good.

I see you have a hydraulic clutch, aftermarket stuff? ;)

These conditions are rare, it has to freeze before the snow comes, usually that's only a few weeks in nov-dec. But when you have perfect ice, the wind in your back, sometimes the water is so clear you can see the bottom of the lake rushing past, it's almost unreal. The poles are used pretty much...

The bike season for me is around 7 months. Up north they play with their snowmobiles, but here down south the winters are often not decent enough to have prolonged periods with cold and snow. Except this winter, it has been quite extraordinary, and I like it like that. I like ice-fishing and...

Yeah I guess it's ok to rev it higher on occasion. I try to ride on smaller roads now so it's lots of accelleration and decelleration. The lake you see in the background is still covered in ice and it will be like that for perhaps another month. I was out fishing on that lake just two weeks ago...

First ride of the year and first ride on the -08 FZ1. Still pretty cold, 10degC, and lots of gravel still on the roads, but it was a nice ride. Keeping the revs under 6000rpm of course. Only diff from the -06 is that the snatchy throttle response is gone. The new Rizoma fatbar felt perfect.

No, you have to drill the holes. It takes some time to line up everything to position the holes, 3 of them. I think it's OK to brake the tabs on the switch housings, but I wouldn't do that on the throttle housing, it's a safety issue.

I have R&G kit on mine, very nice and not too expensive.

I ride mostly alone, or in a small group with people who all know each other. I used to live in Stockholm and there they had these get togethers organized from an internet discussion forum. We decided on a place and time and anyone could show up, usually 20 to 40 bikes, mostly sportbikes and...
