You didn't know? It's cool to turn a streetbike into a streetfighter. It's not cool to buy a streetfighter (unless it's a duc). :BLAA: Sweet looking bike though.

What an unimaginative bike. Looks like a cheapened version of an FZ1 but with FZ6-ish headlights. Come on Yamaha, give us something new! Sorry, I know everyone's stoked. I just had to say it.:Flip:

I love the VFT 800, but not a fan of VTEC. also find that Hondas usually feel a bit tight for me. If the new VFR1200 hadn't turned into a "luxury" grand tourer I may have found a new love.

Friggin ay dude, I didn't realize who I was talking to. That's hilarious.

As I wait for the new heated grips to arrive, I've been thinking about how to route the wires. Any recommendations?

lol. I should knock a few holes into the fairing then too. :D For now, it's covered up by electrical tape. Picked up some steel-epoxy putty today though. Going to take FB400's suggestion and fill in the hole then paint it over.

Yeah, shoot me a PM next time you head up.

I haven't done a St. Helens ride yet. That's definitely worth a thought.

Well, cutting off the old grips give me an opportunity for improvement. Just ordered some Oxford Heaterz Sport grips from TT. :D

Looks great. Well done.

I'd go for the Givi V35s if I had a spare 800 bucks layin around. Awesome setup, but certainly not cheap. I've been touring with a set of Fieldsheer Expander saddlebags for a couple of years now. They're nothing to brag about, but they work and they cost me $100. I hope to get a top box at...

Good find. Thanks.

friggin banjo bolt. The thing is snugged up right against the right fork tube. barely fits. I can turn lock-to-lock without interference though.

Installed the FZ1 bar tonight. I like the ergonomics. Unfortunately, the hole in the bar that lines up the throttle assembly does not line up with where it should be on an FZ6. This means drilling a new hole - that I don't mind. What sucks is that now I'm left with the original hole staring me...

So the bar is installed, but I'm a little frustrated because the throttle assembly hole on the FZ1 bar was not in the same location as the FZ6 bar. I don't mind drilling, but now I'm left with this hole staring at me every time I ride. It's going to drive me nuts. Should this bother me as...

I ended up having it cut mine off too. It was also glued on. Did you guys have to drill on the throttle side to accommodate/align the throttle housing?

thanks guys.

I'm probably making this a lot more difficult that it really is - or maybe I'm just a dumbass. Either way, I'm trying to install my FZ1 bar and I can't get my grips or throttle tube off my old bar. What do I do?

Yakima. Great rides between here and Oly or North Bend. . . . You guys up for some sort of group ride?

Ok - ran into two problems. First, I'm an undecisive bastard. Second,I'm a lazy bastard. . . . I can't decide which bar height I want to run and I don't have the patience to buy two bars and fit them both with bar ends. To be honest, the primary thing I dislike about the stock bar is not...
