Deleted.... I see the problem now and yes, it was offensive. She was fair to say something and papa was a gentleman for editing the post. Well done for both of you!

I read all these earlier, didn't remember anything. But then, I've been working amongst mostly men for the last 30 years, so I'm rarely offended. :)

Okay, I got it. It was changed before I had come across it. I'm glad all is back to normal again.

Yea, it was a term that most people would have found offensive. I know PapaGeno21 meant no harm by it, but it had no business on here...and yes all is ok.
 
This is a fiasco lmao. If I had known that term would have been an issue I wouldnt have used it.

Anyways, yes the AIS is getting scrapped and the other two bikes I have had I removed them off as well, as the aftermarket exhaust really brightens up how much they pop on decel.

Im also going to be removing my power steering and AC and those work perfectly fine as well.

Edit:

Also took pics of my bikes new exhaust, and put them in my pics thread. ;)

I just got back from a nice ride to Cronulla and then on through the Royal National Park to Stanwell Tops, with the missus as pillion for the first time on the new bike.
She reckons it's pretty comfortable compared to my old GSX-R1000.
The bike handles pretty well two up, it just keeps getting better and better.

I put a set of integral turn signal on today. no pics tho.
parts cost only $5.
 
Went for a ride with Pyrogenic through Sam Houston National Forest north of Houston. After running through the forest and back we stopped at Pappa's on the Lake at Lake Conroe for some lunch.

The weather is awesome here lately. I just got back from a few laps of Colo Heights (Putty Rd) on the FZ1. I'm loving this bike, it was on rails through the mountain. This fella on a GSXR was waiting for me and latched onto me from behind. I thought lets see what this bike can do and a few corners later he was left behind.
The stock tyres seem ok at 34 psi front, 36 rear but I wasn't revving the bike much over 8 grand as I'm still running it in. The midrange has more than enough mumbo to go through corners quickly. I just used 3rd gear and no brakes.
The first 600 klms have been a blast so far and I haven't even touched the suspension yet.
