Cool story Bro time. A few years back when looking for a jacket I got a great deal on a jacket and pants combo on Kijiji (Rev'It). Wore the jacket all the time but never tried the pants as I always thought it would be a hassle to bring regular pants with me to work or where ever, so they stayed...

Well after some more seat time in the FZ-09 I love it. I've upgraded the suspension, added Ivan's flash and a couple other carry over bits from my last bike. The motor is a gem, full exhaust will be added shortly. There are a number of rack options for the bike now but I mainly strap a bag on...

Ah, I only had one other rainsuit before I started buying the ones with hoods - could of been that suit. The rukka one I just got does not have a hood, i'll test it out next time she pours.

I've been using some rain gear I found at a Columbia outlet on clearance a couple years back. Works great and has kept me dry and I use it camping too. I recently gifted an older Rukka rainsuit from a friends dad who gave up riding. It's one piece and doesn't pack down nearly as small but looks...

It's actually quite a bit more involved than that. I usually take my bikes to CT too just as it's handy. Some techs just look it over, but I had on recently that went by the book. Things like the stock body work being altered is part of it - ie no after market fender eliminators. I had no clue...

Bummer. Glad you are ok. I didn't open this thread earlier as I thought you bought a Harley.

My insurance company classes it as a sport tourer (same as my old FZ1) so insurance is quite reasonable.

I recently switched from a fully sorted first gen FZ1 to a FZ09. The -09 feels like a toy in comparison, but not in a bad way. The FZ1 was rock solid on the highway and pulled fairly hard. I also had a single round headlight on it, so also a naked bike. Despite giving up quite a bit of power the...

Cool, pm sent.

Oops, black please.

Anyone know a place that will do a single piece at a reasonable price? It's about 10"x12.5" 5/16 think al plate with lots of speed holes...

Nothing fancy, just needed to get my old bike certified. Thanks

Yep that's a good rack for sure but I am mainly going to use mine for soft luggage (strapping a backpack) or mounting a Pelican case. I am using the shad arms (that bolt in the same spot as the factory rack) but I just made a custom top plate that will work for my needs instead of using their...

I'd love to hear it, even if it's in a PM. Either the stock shock re-do or an ZX6 shock would only be temporary for me until I slap on a Elka or Penske.

I went with heavier springs and a piston kit up front (http://www.stoltecmoto.com/shop/yamaha/fz-09/14-fz-09-fork-piston-kit-service/) and there is a suspension shop in the states that re-valves and re-springs the stock rear shock for a great price (NorWest on the FZ09 board). I had racetech...

I just got one too. Switched from a naked "hoolganized" first gen FZ1. Man, the -09 is so small and light in comparison and has plenty of go. I love it.

Sweet! If those forks are 43mm or slightly under I have some adjustable convertibar clip-ons from my FZ1 that I am selling cheap . Also, Rancho 4x4 truck shock boots (9 bucks or so each) will fit on if you like the look of fork gaiters.

Got a few things I took off my FZ1 Gilles Rearsets (black) - $300, good condition with some wear on the left cf kick plate. All replacement parts still available with Gilles and they have great customer service. Fren Tubo type 4 CF brake lines front and rear $125 Rad, no fan. Good shape, no...

Bought awhile back but hardly used as I got a top box. Includes rain covers. $120 Hamilton/KW

$80, no issues. Hamilton/KW but will ship.
