FZ1 Mod Whore Central

[Rabbitman109]

So I did this over at the FZ1 forum, but I figured you guys here would love to see my progress on the FZ1 as well. Here are the pictures the day that I brought it home:

I have already ordered a few things, they should be in by early next week. Looking forward to doing something different than my 6R. If you don't remember here is what I had before:

You can't trade us like this!
Tell us what you ordered or show pics of whats coming!!

After all my truck repairs, and more pending:screwy:, I need to live my bike modding vicariously through this forum...
Dreaming of the day that I can resume doing things more than just trying to get hid or projector, if ever the truck repairs end..

You guys are right, I am sorry I should have let you know. I ordered Frame Sliders, Spool Sliders, Grips, and Fender Eliminator. Just starting small right now. The big mods will start after the bike is paid off in a few months.

saw one at a shop last year, had a nice engine guard setup with extra highway pegs and aux lights... something like this:

Givi - TN357 Engine Guard - Yamaha FZ1 - 06-08 Competition Accessories

but not exactly, seemed to come off the bike a little more... thought it added to the whole mean lean streetfighter look of the FZ1. That was an '06 or '07 I saw it on.

The problem is that those take away from cornering clearance. I got Shogun sliders, and they cost me $35. I don't have to worry about the whole Cut or No-Cut debate!! I actually wanted T-Rex sliders, but couldn't find them anywhere.

Unsure at this time, depends on how finances work in in the next few days. I am juggling around some ideas.

I think you need to ship your bike here so I can build an exhaust and put some miles on it to tune it up for you

Without the key of course....

Actually would be awesome if you could build an exhaust for it. They don't make shorty slip ons for the FZ1, they are all pretty long. The only one that is decent is the Graves full system, but at $1500.00....that isn't going to happen.

So you like the Retro kit huh? A lot of guys on the FZ1-forum have that. Pretty interesting looking.

 

[daddyrack]

yep i sure do! to bad i cant go and get that tho lol

Price isn't too bad, but if you want an Retro FZ1...keep your eyes out on the FZ1 forum, get a regular FZ1 at a steal, and then pop on the Retro kit...

FZ1 Retro Body Kit from Yamaha Accessories & Apparel

Then you can re-sell the stock body kit, and you will get most of your money back for the Retro kit.
