I am thinking about having my headers ceramic coated and using Performance Coatings Plus out of Joplin MO. They have several colors available including satin black. Has anyone used this company? They quoted me a price of $125 - 140. Thanks, MrHix

For anybody that uses these filters, Amazon has them for $5 each and there is a manufacturers coupon for $3 off up to 4 filters. 4 filters for $8 ain't bad. Cheers, MrHix

Folks, I need a little help here. 2009 US Spec FZ1, 6800 miles. Three oil/filter changes. Engine starts normally when cold. Settles into slightly higher idle when cold then drops to about 1000 rpm. Above idle, bike feels normal: no surging, hesitation, bogging, etc. When engine is...

Hi, Chanced to see a nice blue Gen 1 FZ1 Northbound on Hwy J, North of Wright City, Wed AM. I live about 6 miles North of there. Maybe get together for a ride someday if you are here? I have an 09 Cobalt. Cheers, MrHix

Well, Maybe not the best title, but here goes. Can you get firmer rubber grommets for mounting the stock rider footpegs/shifter/rear brake? My pegs move too much (maybe it is my massive 145 lbs?). I like the vibration damping, but not as much as I am getting now. Thanks for any help...

Hi, Searched and found several posts about shortening the Akra silencer. I wanted to get some input on how it changed the sound. How much did you take off, did the deep tone change, and how much louder did it get? Thanks for input, MrHix

Greetings, Did a search and didn't see any reviews or comments about these gloves. They look good on paper, but does anyone have experience on the road? Thanks, MrHix

Greetings, I have been looking at the 660 recently and would like to get some real world info from actual users. I plan on using the unit for my dirt bike as well as my FZ1. I have about 100 tracks that I use on my GPSMap 60CSx right now and want to know if I can use them on the 660...

Has anyone tried to put Motorcycle Larry's passenger peg extenders on their Gen 2 FZ1? FJR-1300 PASSENGER FOOT PEG LOWERS [7008 FJR-1300PFPL] - $79.95 : MotorCycleLarry.com, Wholesale Parts Factory Direct I looked at the ones for the FJR, but don't have any measurements for the FJR peg...

Searched and didn't find any threads with comments on this throttle lock sold by Twisted Throttle. Has anyone tried one? It looks good, but before I plop down the bucks, I would like some feedback. Thanks, MrHix

Hi, Is anyone using this combination? If so, I would appreciate a picture showing the clearance between the can and the bag. Trying to see if the long Akra can comes close to the bottom of the hardcase. Thanks, MrHix

Hi, Read some old posts about problems with the wiring kits for AdMore lights on the Givi V35 cases: Wires too short, etc. Has anyone installed their kit recently? Were there any problems? Thanks for any info, Cheers, MrHix

Greetings, Before I put the silent insert into my 09’s Akrapovic carbon fiber hexagonal silencer, I decided just for fun to run a completely un-scientific sound check. I set the sound meter as shown in the picture about level with the outlet. Tested in the garage and came out with the...

Hi, Has anyone tried these Sidi boots? They look well built and comfortable, but a review would be nice before laying down $325. Thanks, MrHix

Hi, So I decided to put the quiet insert into my Akrapovic CF Hex can, just because I can. Very easy to take the silencer off and drill the rivets out. Pull the CF end cap and SS inside piece out. Drill a hole in the silencer's SS piece and SS rivet the silent insert in. Reinsert the SS end...

Just got my Satan666 highway pegs. As others have pointed out, they are artwork for the bike. Went on my 09 without a hitch and work great (in the garage anyway). Had them in 3 days! There are already pics so I won't post here. Cheers, MrHix

Decided that I don't like to have to carry a garage door opener on my keychain all the time, and I don't have the storage compartment of my ST1300. So I fixed up a switch on the outside. One switch, two pieces of wire, and a soldering iron and . . . . Cheers, MrHix

Hi, I haven't had a chance to ride with it yet, but I thought I would post a picture comparison of the Sargent seat compared to the stock one. The seat is wider and more dished at the blue arrow areas, has more of a rise at the green arrow area, and does not have the well defined sinkhole...

Greetings all. I have been posting for a few days and decided to introduce myself. I'm Mike from the STL area. Been in this area for 7 years and know a lot of the great roads West of the city. Used to ride an ST1300, but wanted something sportier, Yee Haa! Figured I would try and post...

Hi, I have been searching for pictures of the Givi quick release side case mounts on a real live bike. I would like to see the racks on with no bags (side & back) and the racks off with just the mounting hardware (side & back). Thanks to anyone that can help! Cheers, MrHix
