Haha. We need to ride again Doug!

What's the name of the dealer? Eager to give the FJ09 and wr250x a go. EDIT Oops crap wrong year

Huge thanks to Matt. He took the time out whilst he was studying to send me the screen so I could get it before my trip. Champion!

Hi all, riding to Cabo for Christmas and doing a lot of slab. Looking for one of those really really big gen 2 screens. I'm in Sacramento California. Thanks!

No I went on August 22. Wasn't as fast as you by the sounds of things. I wasn't able to do consistent 10s but a high 10 was my best for the day. Definitely got me interested in track days. Sucks about your crash. Not sure how much touring of nocal you've done but should go for a ride sometime...

Sweet! Even sweeter if that was your first time there. Did t hill for the first time this year and had a blast. The fz1 was great, foot pegs were the only real issue I had with the fz1.

There's a non-subjective measure. What times were you doing at t hill on your fz1.

Have you looked at suburban machinery bars? I run them and they are pretty sweet. Closer to super sport but with a couple of extra inches height so no fatigue. http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1835/dsc02132yg.jpg

Awesome! Now have you done mines road yet or up skyline way?

Aside from the safety factor I've also found that big bikes early on can lead riders to become lazy. From my experience with people who go big early, they soft foot around initially whilst they are scared of the bike. After a while they get used to the power and find they can easily keep up...

Another sacramentoean on a FZ. I agree with others more seat time helps. I got a Corbin seat and new bars and it was fine doing the four sierra passes in a day. I ride with the local sac group of which a few have fzs. Let me know if you ever want to ride and get more seat time!

Woo hoo. Sourced a 40l case and the remaining bolts and spacers from lowes. Now to install. But pretty happy with a complete set up for around $150.

Sounds almost exactly the same issue. You should be happy with your Chinese cheapie - I know I am.

Thanks! Now to find a good deal on a case!

Ok so I got the rack - it's in great condition. However everything between 'mono' and 'system' is rubbed off from the top case. Is there a way to identify if it's monokey or monolock? Pic attached of plate.

Wow thanks for the in depth advice. Really helpful. Nice fz1 too!

Thanks for the feedback. So did you use a spacer or just mounted the front part of the bracket.
