OK, I'm Done.

[ballmead]

you guys are evil.... I just said I'm done then you give me all this extra stuff....

Indicators are a possibility, I was looking at these before. I do like the Rizoma and the Yamaha ones. I'd get a good deal on the Yami ones from my local dealer too......
<SNIP>

If you do get them, do your self a favour and buy a LED flasher unit. The resistors that come with the Yamaha LEDs put too much load on the stock flasher circuit.

If you hit your hazard lights with 4 Yamaha LEDs and resistors connected, they overload the circuit and fail to come on.

I bought an LED flasher unit on EBay and threw the resistors in the bin.

They just want to see someone else spending to make them feel better about their dwindling bank balances.

You're not wrong

 

[Dicko]

Yeah. My bank balance doesn't dwindle from my spending. The wife takes care of that.....

 

[Dicko]

OK, so I lied,

I've since added LED indicators and EBC front wave rotors.

 

[FZ1riderNY]

Man, those wheels are definitely Bike Porn!!!

 

[Dicko]

OK, so since I last posted here, I have made more mods. It's true, you can always find something more to do.

rad guard
quick shifter
LED indicators
DID gold chain

got rid of the EBC rotors and bought some nice Italian Braking front rotors.

This time I won't say I'm done with the modifications...

 

[fisherman322]

Ok Mateoke:, why did you get rid of the EBC rotors?

 

[Hellgate]

No you're not, you never are...

See? What did I tell you?

 

[Dustin]

I'd be interested in knowing that as well. My bike may get a set of rotors in the future and EBC is at the top of the list.

 

[Dicko]

The EBC rotors got a spray of water from a car going through a puddle the other way after a hard twisty section with lots of heavy braking (they were hot) and got warped. They were mostly OK, but at light braking in the city leading up to traffic lights they pulsed which didn't give me confidence in the hills. I tried to fix them, but it was too hard so now they are now hanging on the shed wall as expensive jewellery. The Braking ones perform better then the EBC ones anyway. I'll try Galfer or Brembo rotors if I ever need to replace these, but would definitely buy Braking again, they are very nice rotors.

 

[Dustin]

That's a bit disappointing. What model of EBC were they? I know they have a few different 'flavours'

 

[Dicko]

They were circa 2010.

It seems like a giant waste of money, but especially.....

As it stands now, I think I have finally finished modifying the bike. It's awesome to ride & I can't see anything else I'd change. I did think about the indicators, but the stock ones don't bother me, so I'm leaving them on.

It seems like you wanted an R1 but could not afford it.

 

[Dustin]

What part of his mods tells you he wanted an R1? It looks like he wanted an FZ1 with cosmetic upgrades, good suspension & brakes and a smooth running engine.

 

[FZ1riderNY]

It seems like you wanted an R1 but could not afford it.

Uh, actually if you added up all his mods and the cost of his FZ1 he could have easily gotten an R1. What he can or cannot afford is neither relevant nor any of our business. The R1 has completely different ergonomics than the FZ1.

Hmm...surely you mean this as a joke?

 

[Dicko]

I had no interest in an R1 and had I bought one I would have done a lot of the same mods. I didn't want a hunched over R1, I wanted a bike I can ride to work and also take for a blast through the hills.

WERD.

Also I just realized you are from Adelaide, a good friend of mine met his wife there and they both live here in San Diego, they named their daughter Adelaide, or Addy for short.

Adelaide is a nice place, where I live I am at the beach in 15 minutes and in the hills in 10 minutes and I can ride all year round. Love it.

 

[Dustin]

Certainly does sound nice
