I found that maxing the preload on the stock shock was my only option with givi saddles, tail and passenger. The back rest I got for the tail case had to go, as it pushed her too far forward
That must've been the first time I've heard the declaration of independence read aloud. His speech was powerful and his house is beautiful! Happy independence day all
I have a Carbtune Pro, a garage, and I live in White Plains, NY. If you're in the area, you're welcome to come by to tune your throttle bodies. My vibration issue went away after my first tune at 9k mi. It took me about 2hr my first time
The newest FZ1s have great fuel mileage and performance without mods, but if you like to tinker, or if you prefer the most versatility, the FZ1 is for you. Of the 2 Kawasakis, I like the z1000 myself
