My FZ....

#1 Post by Syltiz » Fri Aug 17, 2012 9:56 am

So far the only mods are the speed-block retro colour scheme, a PC5 with Autotune, ASV levers, Din socket, larger screen and proper bars (not the stock flat-style bars which I detest):

In the garage I have Arrow headers, a V&H CS One can and some other smaller bits - plus R1 six-pot calipers waiting for matching radial 2009-2012 R1 forks to be acquired (the winter project). Can't wait to feel the six-pot caliper stopping power

I love this bike.

That does look nice .... though the cans do look a bit of an abomination from the first pic. Glad to hear that one is about to be solved.

Yup - apparently in Japan big exhausts signal power, but to me it's an eye-sore. With the FZ there is an exhaust servo so swapping to an aftermarket can involves either tucking the servo cables in front of the battery or removing the servo motor completely.... Which then throws up an error on the dash, solved with another aftermarket gizmo that plugs in place of the servo. So yeah, it's a money pit and I'm chucking the notes in.
