There is only one flaw that I've heard of popping up. The rear suspension linkage in a very limited number of bikes has had an issue scraping. More in depth on this forum is...

I've been writing on this little blog of mine for a while now and am finally trying to take it a little more seriously (ie. consistent content). I wanted to get some feedback from my FZ8 kin and was hoping that if anybody had extra time they wouldn't mind taking a look. Hopefully I'm not...

Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to see your bike when its all finished. Great photos by the way.

Sorry for doubling up on posts. I'm most interested in seeing how you had to file down the top mount to fit the satan adapter. I thought the only cutting of original parts was at the tray.

This is exactly what I want to do. How did this turn out for you? do you have pictures?

That was the first thing I thought I did, maybe it was upside down or I had the grooves not lining up, but after going through the steps over and over again I kept on having the same outcome. I'm going to feel to incredibly stupid if I go back, and on my 11th try it all fits... but maybe thats...

I just installed a K&N air filter and when I went to start tightening all the screws back down, I noticed a gap at the front end of the air box. Its fairly small, less than 1/16", but it is big enough for some tiny particle to go through and make its way straight into the motor. I reread the...

Its the Kriega US 20. I did quite a bit of research and found that this checked all my boxes. 1) easy on/off 2) totally waterproof 3) expandable/ compact. And you can add bags to hook on to it for more carrying capacity. The only hurdle is price... not the cheapest thing on the market. But it...

well... in my opinion... Nope :2cents:

Sorry this took so long to answer... I chopped off the end and welded on a bigger one. Kind of a pain in the ass, but if have the facilities... imo its worth it. I've also modified some baffles for a harley to fit in the pipes to kind of squelch the noise a little.

Just thought I would check to see if there were any good "motorcycle-centric" places to visit in Sydney? I'm here for a couple days and wondering if there is something cool I can go to, to get out of the rain. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Already have it in hand!

So I feel kind of stupid asking this... but does anybody know of a "how-to" on swapping out the front turn signals for aftermarket led ones? that is specific to the FZ8? The only thing i could find was a video on youtube showing some guy with suzuki doing the swap, and that helps for the wiring...

I currently have the vortex and its ticks all the right boxes, except the quiet one. It breathes great, is comfortable, not too heavy (for a snell rated helmet), has cut outs inside for a bluetooth (part of what makes it noisy), has the same shields as the rs-1 and star, not bad looks, and is...
