    Exhaust + Center Stand

    No one else has anything to add? I am in the process of emailing a bunch of manufacturers to see what they will say, but real world answers work better!

    Exhaust + Center Stand

    So I got a question for everyone who has modded the exhaust. Will any exhaust (can or full; hoping the full ones will) allow a center stand to still be used? I use my center stand all the time, as does my dad, and we both are looking at getting a new exhaust too.

    just picked up my bike

    That spot you are talking about if it is right near the sprocket is the previous owner using too much lube and it getting built up in the sprocket housing. Take it off one day and be shocked at how dirty it is under there.

    Adding a dampening valve to the left for

    Stiffer forks mean less dive and less compression (when the forks compress when hitting a bump). And the ohlins fork internals add full adjustability to our forks. As well, race techs should be able to adjust after you take out the shims. Unless I am mistaken, as this was doable on my 6 with...

    Suspension upgrade

    Still can't get mine yet, it just started snowing... But I can comment as the 8 is pretty close to my 6. I rode the 8 at my last test drive, and I found the torque to be awesome over the 6. The suspension was better, but still needs work. I have full ohlins in mind. The power is just awesome. I...

    Gold Accent Thread

    Wish the wheels were a little more gold... But that FZ-1 Headlight is WAY sexier than the 8's. Wish it was on instead

    Any Photoshop Gurus out there?

    I almost bought the anniversary from my dealer but I didn't like the red. But in my opinion, the seat cowl would look awesome with a red stripe down the middle to match the bike

    Bad back disc

    Almost 24. Got bad knees so the sport bike crouch kills me, which is why I got an FZ!

    Corbin Seat Install

    I am not going to sit here and say corbin is good anymore. I used to back them 100%, that is until I got one of their newer products for christmas in 2010 for my FZ6. Honestly, the seat is okay. Out of 10 I give it a 6 for build and probably a 6 for comfort and a 3 for price for what you get. My...

    What is your longest distance?

    0!! Mine is still in the crate behind the dealership with my name on it. But I thought I would chime in seeing as I have a 6 and the keys to a 1 (my dads). The FZ6 (faired) = Longest day was 800km. Total trip was 2200km in three days. Lovely trip. Seat sucked but everything else was awesome...

    killed my first deer yesterday

    I wish you a speedy recovery. Glad you and the bike made it out okay. Hope she is reparable and you'll be back on her in no time. My first near incident was with a deer. Stupid animals should wear high viz!!

    Yes please

    I got to sit on one here at the calgary show, the cafe racer yellow one. I absolutely HATED the position. Was so painful to sit on. Like a sport bike with a standard knee position. Just contorted my body how it should not. Hoping they make a few more models to see, the dealer has been waiting...
