Seat Concepts. You take the foam off the stock seat pan and reuse it. They send you new foam and a new cover. Get a can of spray adhesive ($5) and attach the new foam. Take that and the cover to an apoulsterer and have them put it on ($25). All said and done it cost me $175 and I absolutely love...

You're totally fine, but do it asap. Shell Rotella T6 (blue jug at Walmart) and a K&N KN-204 filter off of Amazon and you're set.

Thank you for the reply. Is just one flasher relay needed or one for the front and one for the back. Can you point me in the direction of the install location? Thanks!

Hi Guys, Looking to convert to LED's for the front and rear turn signals. For those of you who've done it, where did you install your load resistors in order to prevent the hyper flashing. I know they get quite hot so I was a bit concerned with just putting them in the tail of the bike. On a...

This post is a joke right? I mean come on. Why would any one do this and not know EXACTLY what they were doing and how to tune the bike? You're a noobie...practice riding. Not power modifications.

I have Shinko Ravens on the bike and love them. They are perfectly fine for the type of riding you plan on doing. For $165 a set from Chapparal Motorsports they can't be beat for performance/longevity/price. I have 4800 miles on the front and rear and have had no issues what so ever and expect...

Thanks for the reply. That's probably the route I'll end up going. He and I have emailed over the last month. But for the front and rear plus shipping back and forth he's still very close to $300. I was hoping to maybe get lucky and find something less than that before I pull the trigger and...

If you don't want to go the fix it route there's one on eBay right now for $94 and it came off a bike with only 3,000 miles! Just google part # 39P-13907-00-00 and it'll pop up.

It is indeed plug and play. I had to lay my bike down last November and one of the items damaged was the tank. I purchased a new one and took the internals out of the old, dented tank a plopped them in the new one. Pull up a schematic on any parts website and it'll help you see what you're...

Hi All, Looking to purchase an aftermarket seat for my FZ8 (ie Shad, Top Sellerie, Corbin, or Dirt Road Eddie). Please let me know what you have, the condition it's in (pics would be great) and what you'd like for it. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you!

Short answer is no. It's a stupid idea that will cause harm to your bike. I could go on for paragraphs as to why. Put the damn thing back on.

Living in San Diego my tires haven't seen cold weather lol! Cold here is 50 degrees out. That's good to know though...

A fantastic tire I've ran on my SV650 and FZ8 has been the Shinko Raven. For around $170 for a set nothing comes close in terms of value. I get around 7-9k out of a rear and around 10-12k on a front. Shinko is Yokohama. Reviews online are fantastic. If you're looking for a good all around tire...

You said it!

Looks great but like a lot of work for a $130 part.
