Rode my FZ1 to nearby HD dealer's open house. Felt like an alien! Saw lots of sweet bikes though.

Ride about 200 miles today, went to Bonham state park, (I'm still exploring Texas) and Lake Bonham was nice, but a pond by the standards of where I come from. 
the bike is running AWESOME. Definately enjoying wrenching and learning almost as much as riding.

mockup of aux lights:
Aux Lights Test on Gen 1 FZ1 - Video
I still need to get a switch and a relay before I can wire them to the bike.
Any ideas of the best place to wire into? Turn signal running lights or brake lights or a different place?
Also ordered bi xenon conversion kit from kryptonbulbs.com

I've never bothered with radiator guards, never seen the point of them as I've never had a stone damage a radiator!

Iv'e never hit my head when I crashed a bike, but I still wear a helmet. Just sayin'. Good insurance, It would only take once to ruin your day and a guard is MUCH cheaper than a new rad. Beside that they look nice.

Installed bi xenon conversion kit from kryptonbulbs.com.
Before on left, After on right:
This is low beam only. I don't have a before pic of bike with highs to compare.
I still need to wire the aux lights but I'm too tired for that today. Maybe tomorrow or Friday.

Put on a new rear tire on and prepared the bike for what should be an epic weekend of riding!

I removed the "read the manual before you ride the bike" sticker on the tank. What a pain in the arse.
I'm hanging for my accessories to arrive.
I have a Carbon MIVV Suono coming from Italy. A Yamaha Fly screen and Yamaha LED indicators coming from the UK and finally dodgy blue Chinese Pazzo-like levers and swingarm pick up spools from Hong Kong.

papa, I had a lot of popping until I did the RavenRider Kit. Popping decreased dramatically. You didn't mention if you "adjusted" your jetting to match the new exhaust.
Also, please try to use a different term when describing the removal of the AIS. I'm only truly offended by one thing and that is the casual use of that word.

Didnt change the jetting, it already had a slip on so Dale told me not to worry about it.
Not that I care, im doing a stage 2 jet kit with a Dale Walker header over the winter anyways.
Still removing the AIS though lol.
