    A Great Day

    its too bad we didnt pass each other! I did close to the exact same ride yesterday, but left a lil later in the day. Decided to take a break on my career, quit, and im taking the entire summer off. needless to say, LOTS of riding and enjoying the scenery around here!

    FZ8......Why?

    I was beyond certain that I would buy the FZ8 when it came out (naked version of course) until I saw the hp/torque and weight numbers. its just not enough of an upgrade for me to take the loss on my bike. Either another 10-12 hp or torque (only one of the two to make the fz1 still far...

    Brand new FZ6 S2 .. damaged paint..

    waterborne paints have absolutely nothing to do with clear coat. Not to mention there is absolutely no difference between a properly applied water basecoat and properly applied solvent basecoat.... the water or solvent is just used to move the pigment from the gun to the object, then evaporates...

    post two bros. install question - opinions wanted

    I think itll be more $$ than you think. its highly molded, OEM only part. All comes down to: - are you ever going to part the bike out and sell the exhaust separate? - Do you like the look of it? Road grime is going to get up there hugger or no hugger.

    Visor Misting (in the cold)

    I bought the Cat Crap from an Oregon based company called daddies board shop, free shipping to you lucky US customers. I ride in -10* weather and its tough to keep the visor open at 100km/h to avoid fogging. Most wipes and others I tried didnt work good, and the Cat Crap works great. Paid $34...

    U$100 gloves

    Held. I dont think anyone can argue the quality and comfort of held. I bought the "cheaper" model Thrux and I dont think I can ever use another pair ever again...

    Yet another reason to gear up

    not pricey when you compare it to absolute top notch, motorcycle bred cow, leather. my dainese jacket ran me just shy of $950. If I had known about cycleport beforehand, id have a full set in my closet

    can someone help me understand exhausts/mufflers?

    just remember there is a fine line between too much back pressure and too little. back pressure is directly related to torque numbers, but too much and the engine wont breathe out enough and will reduce your timing creating a loss in hp. dyno tuning and toying with it is key to finding the...

    FZ8 or FZ1

    If the 8 was out when I was looking to get a bike, I would have bought it for sure... it fits my bill perfect. However, if im going to bother going through the process of selling my bike (and losing tons on it) buying a new one and finding new insurance.... I will be doing far more of an...

    Ever wondered, "Which Exhaust Should I buy?"

    this man speaks the truth. Any naturally aspirated engine doesnt need a hugely free flowing exhaust, there is a fine balance to which your back pressure can given up to make power... give up too much and the entire mechanical system will suffer. Besides, all dyno tests like this are done VERY...

    Newbie guilt complex?

    youll probably upgrade or sell it long before youd ever notice problems due to extra wear and tear on the engine anyways.

    Cleaning the rear wheel

    the wheels on the FZ are far different from your BMW. powdercoating is beyond durable and no solvents available to any consumer are strong enough to touch it. your BMW was either clearcoated which could be dulled or eaten or it was bare aluminum/steel in which a wheel acid would etch itself...
