Anyone got a rear turn signal or integrated signal/brake light that's bright enough to keep me alive?
I've shied away from this in the past but LEDs are much improved these days.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

In a failed attempt to remove my front wheel today, I was stopped because I didn't realize the hydraulic line bolt had a backing nut on it. I could not slip the wheel past the calipers. As I put it back together so that I could come and whine about it here, I noticed that the 6mm bolt has a...
Anyone have a guess at the number of FZ1's Yamaha has sold? Any way to contrast that to the number of, say, Ducati Monsters in the world or other sport tourers?
Was changing the rear tire tonight. Pulled off the brake caliper and this clip fell off. No idea where it came from.
Can anyone identify it so I can locate in the service manual please?
Its in the aftermarket vendor drawing below, but no real identification.
Appreciate any help...
Revised 7-18-2010: Everything is sold except for the exhaust and pegs.
The Euro-Naked conversion turned out so well, it's time to part with the left over parts.
The parts are from a 2008 Gray/Gold FZ1. Never been down.
All are in good condition. The exhaust has less than 500...
I bought a couple of Rizoma Bar End weights from PJs. Anyone have experience with these? It looks like I need to cut a quarter inch off of each grip to get the expansion nut to lock against the internal threads that Yamaha uses for the OEM weights.
It's not too bad on the port side, but...
I just finished the Euro/Naked FZ1 mod. Whew. This one was a little work. Still got to tie up a couple of loose ends, but I can ride again.
I think she is a little faster as well............:thewave:

Evening,
I'm at the "got it apart" stage of the naked euro FZ1 conversion on my '08. Makes pretty good sense, but what I was wondering what you guys did with the old and new stays?
The right one looks like it unbolts and slips out. The left one looks like I need to unbolt it and cut it to...
My girlfriend has taken up riding this summer and is becoming a pretty proficient rider. She just graduated from her Honda Rebel to a SV 650 (pretty interesting bike).
This whole experience reminded me of the Hurt Report, so I dug it out for her to read. Many of you have probably read the...
I walked into Best Buy this weekend and was confronted at the front door by this:

Let the debate begin................:wtf:
Bought these from PJ's Parts. Easy to install, it's just a matter of finding a suitable bar end (I bought a non-tapered end off Ebay and sanded it down to the correct diameter).
This is the first step in my naked FZ1 project. I'm not going to worry about the old mirror mounts. I'm going to...
Let's talk about this. I went for a ride today and missed second gear shifting from first. I do that more than I like.
I read that (and maybe this was only for Gen I's) people were replacing the shift lever with R1 levers. The R1 was something like a quarter to a half an inch shorter...
The weather has been absolutely beautiful here, lots of bike out and about. I've had my foot up recovering from surgery, but I have been making a few changes.
