    How much to convert?

    This kit is well worth the money. it cost me $317 with the shipping. I ended up selling my oem mirrors, puig windscreen, and the fairing stay on this forum. Overall it only cost me $161 after you subtract the profits from those parts. Very simple to install, I personally put up a thread with...

    Eyeing up an FZ1 or a Buell 1125CR

    I do love the look of both, the 1125cr is a "brute". its not gorgeous but just screams muscle, but i have had nothing but great experiences with Yamaha. Would $5000 be too much to ask?

    Eyeing up an FZ1 or a Buell 1125CR

    I have not tested either, but i bought the FZ6 on a whim and I have loved it. i figured the FZ1 would be a solid choice. I have ridden some harleys, gotta love the torque.

    Eyeing up an FZ1 or a Buell 1125CR

    Got my VS-2 Kit today.

    I mounted it in front of the fairing stay. It fits perfectly under the fork cross member. And the wires still reach.

    Fuel Grade (regular, mid-range or premium)

    The testosterone level in some of these threads are off the charts. Its just fuel fellas. Although i do love reading the arguments. I run premium. its an extra dollar a tank. if it keeps the thing from grenading an extra 1000 miles ill be happy.

    FZ16 Headlight Installation modifications

    The 06 speedo does have the advantage of allowing more room for your hand when putting in the key. When I have gloves on it gets a little tricky.

    FZ16 Headlight Installation modifications

    I do not have any problems with vibrating but I used some grommets to mount the plate to the fairing stay and i used some little foam pieces to mount the speedo to the plate. I then ground one of the little bolts that hold the bracket for the windscreen on because if you dont it will rub the...

    FZ16 Headlight Installation modifications

    When installing the FZ16 headlight i came across a few minor issues. Due to some vibrations at higher rpms, I inspected the light and found a few places where the metal vibrated or the plastic rubbed the forks. To fix these issues I purchased: 2 M6-1.00-25mm bolts to use to mount the...
