Here are a few pics of my FZ. No upgrades, accept for what I quess you would call cruise control. I am wanting to put a Puig sport light smoke windsheild on for better wind protection.
Nice! It's really clean! Are you *sure* you ride it?
Frame sliders?? I like the grips and bar ends. What brands are they?
I didn't realize until now the older FZ's (I have an '07) had silver engines. Byootiful! :thumbup:
Crap, my poor 05 looks like a wreck next to that thang...and i'm a long ways away. Geeze even the shiny gold headers are shinier than mine. Boy do I have some work cut out for me after work friday.
What brand are those grips? Comfort level? Cost? The usual questions.
I ride mine a lot more than i clean it...i ride everyday, rain or shine, hot or cold...I dont think i could ever get mine that shiny again. What kind of polish/soap are you guys using. Ever since they discontinnued the Honda Polish I haven't been polishing it only washing it with car wash solution and letting it dry in the sun.....LOL i dont even towl mine off...it gets abused...:thumbup:

Those bar ends are definitely Throttlemeisters.
Man, I can't believe no one has answered the question about the grips and bar ends!
It looks like the grips have Grip Puppies on them. I've got a set but never put them on...I need to do that!
And jrf, you may have something you had no idea you had. Those bar ends are definitely Throttlemeisters. Try this...the one on the right side (throttle side), see if the bar end will turn back with the throttle grip, like you're accelerating. If it does, you'll probably notice that the throttle stays where you put it. Throttlemeisters are throttle lock bar ends...in other words, you've got cruise control!!! Holy crap...
The do make just bar ends that don't have the throttle locking function, but I don't know of anyone that's got just those. Dude, those things are like $150 a set...you've hit the jackpot!
