    Jethot Ceramic Coating

    Years ago I remember threads on hear where people were trying to find a solution to beat up, discolored and rusty headers on the 8. This is where I was introduced to Jethot Ceramic Coatings. I finally pulled the trigger and did it! The results are amazing!!!! Final cost was $200 FYI so worth it...

    Jet Hot Ceramic Coated Exhaust?

    Anyone get their headers ceramic coated? Specifically by Jet-Hot? I'm considering getting mine done to clean up the look of the headers, they have gotten beatup over the years and I want to freshen them up. I like the raw color of the exhaust right stock... I would like to go for the classic...

    Sprocket Torque and Chain Rivet Flare

    I'm doing a sprocket conversion and I wanted to double check a few things. Is the front sprocket nut torque really only 65 ftlbs? It just doesn't seem right given how much of a bitch the thing was to get off. Also, any technique to re bending the little locking tabs on that? Last question, I...

    Sprocket and Chain 520 Conversion

    I am looking to convert to a 15 tooth 520 front sprocket and 48t rear. For those who have done this, where did you find a 15t 520 front sprocket that fits the 2013 Fz8? I've looked everywhere online and only found one on Yamahas website. I want to see if there are any other options for this...

    Brake Lines

    Anyone have any experience with Galfer stainless steel brake lines for the FZ8? I tried searching the Forum but this Tapatalk app sucks. Or maybe another recommended brand for braided steel lines? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Denali Soundbomb Airhorn

    I just wanted to share with everyone my newest mod! I was tired of the not so loud ugly stock horn sticking out from underneath the headlight so I decided it was time for an upgrade. I bought the Denali Soundbomb from RevZilla.com (I couldn't resist this impulse buy) for about $50. Installed...

    USB Charging Port

    About a year ago I installed a cheap USB/Cig charging outlet on the 8 to keep my phone charged for long rides and Bluetooth. It proved to be cheap, a few months later it was dead. I finally got a chance to replace it with a marine grade BlueSeas outlet($12). I figured I would share some pictures...

    Auxillary Front Turn Signals

    I have been thinking of installing some LED turn signals on the front of the 8 in a more noticeable location. I have been noticing that the headlight has been overpowering the signals in the stock location and other drivers cant make out my signals. I don't like the look of big bulky lights in...

    Yamaha Radiator Cover Plasti-Dip

    Last year I had ordered a Radiator Cover from Yamaha and I love it. A little pricey but definitely worth it to me. Anyways I Plasti-Dipped it last year and was really impressed how well the plasti-dip held up, but it was looking a little dingy to me so I peeled off last years coating and put on...

    2012 Stock Exhaust Heat Guard

    I installed a Two Brothers Carbon Slip-on Exhaust last year. The exhaust is awesome and instllation was easy. The only problem I had was the stock "Exhaust Protector" for my 2013 model doesn't fit, but the one for 2012 will. I know almost everyone has an aftermarket exhaust on thier FZ8...

    Projector Retrofit

    Ok so now that my bike is away for the winter I couldn't help but begin my next project...the headlight. My plan is to retrofit a projector with maybe a panamera shroud like the one in the first attached picture. I already split the headlight housing and plasti-dipped the reflector black. Has...
