Yep, same as mine now, although with a better looking bellypan.. :)

So I broke of a piece of my front fender when backing the bike up a bit and forgetting i had the disc lock on. Looking at replacement the price for an oem piece and a CF fender is pretty much the same.. Anyone have pictures of a wgp colored (red and white) fz8 with cf front fender? In an...

Normal, not bad, cool. Burn unused petrol, cleaner emissions.

Yeah, it kinda looks like the graves r6 pipe https://www.gravesport.com/Graves-Motorsports-Yamaha-R6-Slip-On-Exhaust-System-2006-2010.html But it's even more trumpet-like.. And I'm 87% sure it was spesifically for the fz8..

Sort of, but the trumpet being on the end of the exhaust instead of up his ass.. And I have not yet tried the baked beans-mod yet, heard mixed reviews of that.

I remember seeing a slipon looking sorta like the end of a trumpet, kinda expanding in volume if you understand what i mean.. Remember it was cheap (and simple), around $100.. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Akra full system is just too quiet :deadhorse:

Okay, I see. According to gearing commander the 15-48 will differ from stock by 11.3%, so after 10 000km it will run up 11 300km, which is no biggie..

From somewhere else in this forum: "The restrictions on the 8 (same as the FZ1) in the first three gears are a pain and we don't know what we've missed until those are unlocked/noticed. " My bike doesn't lift in first gear, with 106hp available I figure it would lift. Perhaps it has something...

Thanks for the reply. A follow up question: anyone else with the akra slip-on think it's too silent? I have headers also, but still not satisfied with the volume. I want it at 11, like my old bike :) My friends say it's loud enough when they are behind me, perhaps the can is just so good that it...

Hi, I purchased a while ago a 15t front sprocket, but havent changed it yet. Thinking about also getting a 47t or 48t rear sprocket, but then I also have to change the chain, maybe? What is the recommended lifetime for a chain? Driven my '12 FZ8 for 7900km now. Is it possible to run stock chain...

Hitting neutral between first and second is not very uncommon, just gotta be very firm with the foot. However on shifts from second to thirds I also ofte experience "problems", the bike not shifting and staying in second. But this is completely my fault, as I sometimes not let the gearlever...

Installed akra headers to go along with my akra slipon couple of weeks ago. Was a bit disappointed in the sound, still not very satisfied with how it sounds with full throttle, idle is fine though. Sounds overall good, but isn't loud enough. This is of course without db-killer. Been away for...

Do you ship to Norway? If so, what's the total price including shipping?

Sadly no, but this is how much fun stuff costs in Norway. High powered bikes/cars gets punished even more. To put it in context with prices you americans probably are familiar with, the only 2009 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 for sale in Norway (small country :)) costs 223 497USD. Dunno how much it...

Congratulations with your best buy in a long time, most likely! I swapped my YZF1000R Thunderace with a FZ8N 10 days ago, and I gotta say I enjoy riding my 800cc moped a LOT more than I did the thunderace! Only thing I miss is the sound of the engine, full akra on the 'ace gave me a funny...
