Bogie's FZ10 Build Thread

Looking good Bogie, it has to be the best looking FZ10 that I have ever seen.

BTW you can also buy chain with black links these days too ;)

Thanks man!! Strange enough the chain is the one thing I like not being black. The black chains and silver rivets stand out too much for me. Besides....the gold of the chain will go with the gold of the Ohlins possibly next season. LOL
 
Black Betty got some new wall decoration in her sleeping quarters.

Dude!!! Awesome and fitting home "stall" for that iron horse! Well done! If I sell my FZ1 and get the urge to buy a new ride later, the FZ-10 and the BMW S1000R are the two top contenders. The reason I'm leaning on the Beemer is it already has everything OEM I'd be modding on the FZ-10 and for not a lot more money. A hold-over here is under $13k, about the same as the FZ-10. But it's also hard for me to imagine not owning/riding a Yamaha. I've been on Yamaha bikes for all but two Honda rides all my life. And seeing yours all done up right, well, it makes the decision very hard. But that is a bridge many miles away I've yet to cross. I need to focus on the property and getting that retirement home built.

For now, I'll have to live vicariously through you all!

Thanks! I have been a die hard Yammy rider for years and it was going to be odd for me to have bought the Aprilia Tuono Factory if the FZ10 hadn't been brought here.
 
Quick little mod that cleans things up a bit. Gilles Tooling Radiator Cap Cover.

No need for all that silly Japanese writing on there. LOL

Just loving the photos. Great backdrops. This coming week I'll be out in PA on vacation with the bike. I'm definitely going to bring the good camera and get some better shots than I've gotten already.

"In a car you’re always in a compartment, and because you’re used to it you don’t realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You’re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame.

On a motorcycle the frame is gone. You’re completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming."

I must say that when the mt-10 came out I wasn't a fan of the looks but your photos have changed my mind. It's a bloody nice bike, I want one!! Now how to make the misses agree :/
 
Got in a quick ride this morning before the temps climbed back into the 90's and sticky again today. Crazy hot weather for the start of the Fall Season. Can't wait for the cooler Fall temps that are coming!!! Found Bigfoot today as you can see by the last picture. LOL
