ABOUT. DAMN. TIME! My schedule and the shops just happened to be in sync today. What better way to spend a rain day then finally being able to close this 2+ year battle. Sent from: GS4

Gen 2 tree can be used along with lower, but you'll have to use the Gen 1 stem to hold it all together. Another obstacle to overcome is the shorter leg length. Devilsyam's is the guru to the conversion and maybe even have some pieces available to help you along. If not, at least guide in the...

Isn't there a flange on one side that locks the head in place so you only have to come in from one side anyway? I believe that is the way on the Gen 1's (but not 100% sure because I do not have my bike to look at) Sent from: GS4

We can keep this civilized, or not. Only warning. Admin Sent from: GS4

I think it is a 10/12mm nut/bolt to remove the clamp necessary to remove the mid pipe and cannot recall size for exhaust hanger. Just remember, bike is metric and not SAE when it comes to using the right wrenches (and a crescent wrench is NOT the right wrench) . Same for allen keys. Just...

Currently on the road without main computer to be able to direct to right info on "how to", but if you have not already found, I think on the "rehto site" (fz1oa) under the links in the right hand corner (pat's page) gives you a lot of info. Sent from: GS4

Is the air box modified for increased airflow? Stock air filter or k&n/bmc? Sent from: GS4

That would be great! Just concerned that the mounts being so low may cause some interference with mounting brackets for the fairing or something else. Guess I will not know until I have the bike and see the final outcome of what is where. Sent from: GS4

Gentleman, if I was a GEN II owner, I probably would not sweat it. However, I have a little over 2 inches to make up being these forks are going on a GEN I. Sent from: GS4

I do not think clip on will work. Problem I'll be facing are these. They are fork extenders that make up the difference in height for the shorter length of the R1 forks to maintain the original height. The tree consists of the upper/lower of Gen II with the stem of the Gen I mounted to...

I'm a Gen I owner who has been out of pocket for the past two years...... I'll have the stock Gen II risers with rizomas for the initial setup (and may be happy with that, who knows) However, I've been spoiled with convertibars, so if I didn't like something, just tweak it. Sv650 risers I...

Finally getting around to doing the R1 conversion and should be back one two wheels the week of the 23rd. I am also being a bit lazy with doing my due diligence (hey I'm currently on vacation and having to contend with fixing items on a fifth wheel) , but what is out there for aftermarket...

No luck, on to Washington. But, on a brighter note, I will finally be marrying some R1 components to the FZ (just not fairings). Shell be ready for me to ride upon my return :-) Sent from: GS4

Anything can be made to fit if you have the skills or enough money. Sent from: GS4

Well, call Ivan on Monday morning and he can give you the reason(s) for the current thought process being good or not. I do not know the reasons, but too lean is a problem waiting to happen. Sent from: GS4

well, easy route, would be to just swap, and hope for the best (after syncing). However, if you have any problems, you'll be tearing into anyway trying to make sure it is clean and everything to spec. Pat's does a good job of breaking everything down, with pics, but sometimes it is just fun to...

another thing to keep in mind, your carbs may be synced for you old bike, but you will need to sync them again when you install (whichever) carbs. I changed over a bank of carbs that ran GREAT to a different bike, and it ran like poo-poo. Any carb work will require a sync for no two setups...

And that is probably his it all started. Great video! Sent from: GS4

So, if I delete the shortcut from the start menu in a particular user file, the only way to access the program is finding the .exe file from the directory? That would have made things MUCH easier when I was initially trying to figure a way to limit access. Yes, by adding the user account to...
