    Carbon Fiber Thread

    I used it for my exhaust hanger it's easy to fit and looks good. I'll do my heel gard and just just under the ignition key in black mat. I just ordered it, it's on the way. It's very light, you just need and hairdryer and a good blade.

    Carbon Fiber Thread

    The question is : is it fot the look or for the weight because sometimes cardon fiber parts can be heavier than plastic one. I've ever seen it on a friend's bike...

    FZ-8 Top Speed?

    I had 155 mph when i tried the FZ8 WGP before buying my black. There was an Akrapovic exhaust with DB killer. On my black with the same exhaust without DB killer only 143...:confused: Maybe the radiator covers are not good for top speed?

    What was your close 2nd choice to the FZ8?

    My other options were Suzuki GSR750 and KTM Duke 690. But I don't like the Duke IV and impossible to find a Duke III with 0 km. The hole in the engine, frame looked too cheap and the engine too much "on-off" on the GSR made me choose the FZ8...

    My exhaust hanger

    I just took a piece of 3 mm aluminium cut and shape it to make an exhaust hanger. After a first try with paint but too easy to scratch, i decided to use a carbon covering on the 2 sides. I've paint the edge in black to hide aluminium color. I changed screws for shorters ones. The prototype ...

    headlight switch

    If you want to connect to the ignition plus signal, you can do it to a wire which under the tank (on the right side). There is a square plug which is used with the Yamaha alarm (not imported in France, I don't know for US) The plug : Pic was taken on my previous bike but the plug is the...
