    Bar End Mirror Help

    SIDE NOTE: Do not clean these with rubbing alcohol. The blue coating will come off. Don't ask me how I know, let's just say I wasted $80 because I thought the blue coating was protective film and tried to get it off. It is the stupidest thing I did in years.

    Thank you the video is helpful. I changed on of my orders to the foldable version, like yours. Do they stay put at high speed? (80+)

    Mirrors - Barends vs Extensions

    Hi All, Almost finished with the process of modding. Last piece is the mirrors - stock ones are not working for me, all I see is my shoulders and can't adjust them in a way that lets me see behind me or the closest parts of the lanes next to me. I ordered a few things. Two different sets...

    Coffman's Exhaust: My experience

    Well, another satisfied customer here. It got here in two business days somehow, I installed it Monday night. It took less than 20 minutes, 5 of those pratcicing with newly-acquired pop rivet tool. It's been raining so I didn't get to ride till today. Did my 40 mile commute - loved the sound...

    I just confirmed that my speedo is not accurate.

    This is my 6th bike and they all do that, Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki.

    Coffman's Exhaust: My experience

    No, this must be a Cali thing. The only place that has it worse than NJ when it comes to cool stuff like motors, alcohol, guns, etc., :D

    Coffman's Exhaust: My experience

    Placed the order few hours ago. If their product is half as great as their customer service, I'll be a happy camper. They called me back within minutes of eBay transaction to make sure I got the right color tip, turned into a pleasant conversation and I'm never the one one to talk on the phone...

    Coffman's Exhaust: My experience

    Any change in MPG? I bought the FZ8 as a second bike for my long commute, so it matters. It's the last question I have before I order. Please share your experience with this, thank you in advance.

    FE install writeup/video?

    Well, it's done. Did it last night, took just over an hour. These tips were definitely useful. Longest task was feeding the wires back in. So for those who might look through this thread in the future: 1.) Bagman said: "There's a tiny, tiny little allen-head screw holding down a little...

    FE install writeup/video?

    Thanks Vikingminn, much appreciated. I think I have an idea on how to do this. The kit is coming today, I'll be doing it either tonight or tomorrow AM. Biggest obstacle was finding the wire connectors under the seat. Now that I have them located, it seems very straightforward.

    FE install writeup/video?

    Thanks Bagman. The kit is not here yet, but yesterday I looked through the compartment under the passenger seat and was able to locate the disconnects for the signals and plate light. Should be no problem now, hopefully.

    FE install writeup/video?

    Hi All, first post here. Just got a 2012 FZ8 two days ago as a second bike for commuting. My Kawasaki Concours 14 is too big to ride into NY 40 miles each way in traffic. Anyway, ordered sliders, center stand and Yoshimura fender eliminator. I do a lot of work on my bikes, but to this day...
