Was wrestling with the rear wheel a couple days ago after swapping out sprockets (now running 16/47) and in my typical unskilled bull in china shop fashion somehow managed to knock the FZ off the stand, and down it went. I slowed the crash somewhat with my body but didn't prevent the bar from smacking the garage floor pretty good. There *might* have been some foul language that ensued but you can't prove it. Anyways, damage not too bad, couple very minor scatches on the fairing and a bent handlebar. I'm taking the "opportunity" to change up the bar setup a little, ordered some Rizoma short risers and 1 1/8" low rise bars, am looking forward to seeing if the angles are a little nicer on the wrists. Also ordered some squishier grips. Haven't quite decided on the new bar ends yet, am waiting to hear back from Kaoko to see if one of their throttle lock setups will work with the new bars. Otherwise I'll just get some Rizoma bar ends to match and call it a day.
