5000k HID Projectors
Started last night, finished this morning. Morimoto Xb35 5000k Projectors. Painted the reflectors flat black along with the projector shrouds. So far they seem much brighter than stock. Bring on the night!
Satan's adapter.
Check out this post http://www.998cc.org/forum/gen-ii-mods/16724-version-4-r1-shock-adapter-release.html this should contain the information you seek. Looks like Satan may have Internet after all.

I believe member Blanchy has a pretty awesome retrofit.
Also, there is are some great pictures of a FZ1 with...
Mirrors
Yeah, the mirrors do look funny. The whole front of the bike looks kind of like a weird bug in that picture. However, from other angles or pictures that include the whole bike it looks more normal. I like the look of some bar end mirrors, just not sure I want to go that route.
Yoshimura TRC
Love it! Actually did this a couple days ago. Just haven't been able to get off of the bike since then. Next up projector headlights and gear indicator.
Bass Ackward
Happened to come across this thread. As for the picture showing the "extreme" adjustment I believe that is solely due to someone un-installing the two cables completely and reinstalling them. One of the cables is longer than the other. Looks like they are simply reversed. The...
Proton flush mounts
My proton flush mounts had built in resistors that kept the blink rate close to normal. Simple installation as well. When I was looking for replacement turn signals not all of them were wired for running lights. Might be something to keep an eye out for.
Tank bag.
I tried out a couple tank bags and found the Cortech Super 2.0 18 liter had the best fit, finish, size. The original bag I tried was too long @ 16.5 inches. The Cortech bag fits perfectly on the handlebars while refueling. The magnets are strong and I haven't noticed the bag shifting...
Dressing up the FZ1
Spent some time cleaning up the look of my FZ1 today. Here's what I did:
1. Installed Yoshimura Fender Eliminator
2. Installed a integrated tail light with the smoke lens.
3. Installed flush mount Proton turn signals up front.
I am very happy with the new look of the...
My FZ1 clutch issues resolved.
I as well had similar issues with my clutch not completely disengaging in first. I also had a problem downshifting from 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd. Blipping the throttle before downshifting did help. Anyways I had my 600 mile service completed on Tuesday and had...
Hey Nino
Love the bike Nino! What kind of tires are those? I didn't see them listed in your upgrades. Also, did you have someone plug the tire from the inside, and put a patch on the inside as well as the plug?
Xr250
I realize that this is probably a little low on power if you are looking to do any racing or freeway riding. I had a 1996 XR250 that was modified to be almost completely off-road. This bike was amazing. As far as your concern for quality, this bike never failed to start. I had my fair...
Hjc rpha-10
This is hands down the best helmet I've owned. It fits my oddly shaped head perfectly, extremely well vented. And it looks great in matte black! Ultimately for me it comes down to comfort.
My FZ1 no longer has safety stickers.
Today I removed all of the safety stickers, got a tag for it since I've had it less than a week. And I put a nice tank pad on! Got a nice sunburn while I was at it. Still deciding which turn signals and fender eliminator I want. Any ideas!?
South Alabama!
Hey all, I'm Steve. I live in Mobile AL, and have purchased a 2013 FZ1. So far I have put about 50 miles on it. And I love it! Clean precise power. Even for only accessing the lower end of the power band, and scrubbing in the tires I am very impressed with every aspect of the bike.
2013 FZ1 Slip on Options.
So I just bought a new FZ1, and I am not finding much other than a Graves, or Akrapovic slip on. Anyone know if the Yoshimura full carbon slip on for the 2012 FZ1 will fit the 2013 model? I know the bike is virtually unchanged however, Yoshimura's website does not list...
