The piece already in the calipers that prevents the caliper from moving in the mount where they are bolted was the only thing my brother said was unusual in the conversion. They can be difficult to get out. He heated the caliper a little and got them out. If you use a little black paint on...

When my brother changed to R1 forks on his '06, he used those spacers, they are p/n 51497-MEL-D20. He sent me the p/n cause I thought I was going to need a set of them as well. But, I used a set of R1 disks instead on my '09 when I changed to R1 forks.

The one thing that may not be really obvious - stand/lift doesn't come with wheels like they show in the pics - the wheel option adds significantly to the price - $110. Stand has a lot less utility without wheels....

That really sux, I hope you get it back and they catch the thief. Some moron tried to steal my CBR600 at Daytona Speed Week in '98 - I had a disk lock on the front that he didn't see and when it hit the forks, it dumped him and the bike. That's how I found it when I came out of the auction...

Seat is top notch, Jared, thanks!! To Ssky0078 - from what I've experienced, these make a difference if you're on the lighter side. I weigh less than 150lbs and it made a diff for me. Was riding on a Sargent seat and finding it as hard as the stock seat, but with more room to move around...

PM replied to and PP sent, thanks!

I've wanted to try one of these so I'll take it. PM me your PP info and I'll forward the funds, thanks!

Seems he doesn't mention the brand of the lines he used - either here or on FZ1OA. He's a member here so you could PM him and ask. Whose brakes lines are best has been discussed here so you might give this a read -...

Been there, done that.... FZ1OA policy is an instant ban for a new member that includes a link in their 1st post....their way of fighting spam and spambots.... As I was told, if you read the rules, you'd have known, but really who reads rules.....? I asked to be unbanned and they...

The 'C' in that context does mean coolant, not Celsius, unfortunately..... I bought my '09 FZ1 new in Louisiana (dealer internet special) and it has the same owner's manual "(C)" like yours - my manual is FZS10Y(C). Mine is not the CA model and I doubt yours is either. Mine has no...

^^^ That's where I got mine. I've seen a few used ones for sale on the 'other' forum. Sorry about the delay in replying, but work's been the pits lately.....

Another alternative - this straps on top of teh rear pillion -

Whoa!!! Bet that ruined his day....

If those are boxer primed, the empty cases would provide a good start to reloading.....

Get a Canyon Dancer bar type harness - I use one for my CBR600 which has full fairing - it places the tie downs at the end of the handle bars away from the body work. A good shop should have them or something very similar. Canyon Dancer Inc. Can also use set of soft tie-downs, but those can...

I looked at one when I started looking for an FZ1. I liked the single sided swingarm, but didn't care for the exhaust or the aesthetics in general and the bike seemed smaller in person than an FZ1 - seemed to be more the size of my CBR600. They were not dealing on them either, they were not...

I've had a PP since 2000 when I started in RC. Other than someone trying to hack my acct a long time ago - which PP caught and stopped, I've never had a prob and I've done a lot of business thru them. You can't blame them for the gift thing - it was being totally abused and no surprise -...

Unless your storage space will get pretty cold, all you need to do for the battery is put it on a battery tender. Battery is under the seat and nothing bad to remove if you need to take in inside so it will stay above freezing. I use a Deltran battery tender - it comes with a harness that...

Joe, the postman just delivered mine. Thanks! I've used LiFe type batts in RC planes and cars, so I'm acquainted with the technology. The battery is quite impressive, case is awesome, the weight difference is incredible. This should be the last battery my FZ1 ever uses. Thanks for...

+1, Absolutely, what an insult!!
