caliesv Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yup, no reflector brackets needed. ☺ If I may ask, why did you white-out the "FZ07" on the tank decal? I've noticed it in other pics and was wondering. The redundancy of the "fz07" didn't look right to me. I eventually want to plastidip that decal black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyinaustin Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I got let go with a warning the other day too. Was doing 85 in a 45. He did a u-turn so I just pulled over before he even turned the lights on. I think that helped my situation. Cop liked my bike as well. Nice jacket, what kind?

ddog Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Installed spiegler steel braided brake lines. The install was not bad at all, and I'm loving the brake feel now. I'll post the install/review video after I get through the editing. So far I'm very happy with them! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member panchobullet Posted June 9, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 9, 2016 Took her to 208 km/h but the camera battery died and don't have proof of that one but I do have one @206km/h for the previous attempt (rofl) Dark-Y was in 6th@8800rmp aprox... I'll make sure I have an extra battery next time we go out for a ride. [attachment id=1751" thumbnail="1] - Pancho 1 You've never seen me cause I'm too damn fast!

djdiaz Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Installed a VStream Touring Windscreen. I have the sport replacement screen on order and will switch them out (on the same bracket) depending on the need. How well does it work? I just wanted to follow up. I went for a 90 + mile ride today, through mountain twisties, over a Kenosha Pass (9997 feet). Speeds were up to 75 MPH with strong crosswinds. The wind off the top of the windscreen was smooth with no detectable buffeting and was hitting me at the base of my face shield above the front intake on my helmet. FYI - I'm 5'9" with a 32 inch inseam. I'll do a more complete review and comparison when I receive the sport screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been down Hills. Both way... In the snow. With no shoes. Ha, it was actually slightly uphill. But it was on a 3 mile stretch with forest preserve lakes on both sides - so I know a deer isn't going to be bounding out in front of me and there's nowhere for police to sit. I used to datalog my Cobra and tune my WRX on that road. It's amazing. Both ends start with about a mile slight downhill and bottom out after 1.5 miles then go uphill again. Perfect for getting up speed on the slight downhill and braking uphill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChicagoAJ Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yeah, deer are my worst fear. I've got some good country roads all around me but they are LOADED with deer. They make me a nervous wreck. Also, I saw an XSR900 on the road today. These things are beautiful. Very lust worthy. It was the yellow 60th anniversary model. I live surrounded by forest preserves. Literally everywhere, just like the deer in them - they're everywhere too. I've only ever had a couple run out in front me when I was on bikes, but they were at least a hundred yards ahead on both occasions. I've hit a skunk and nearly hit a coyote too. I couldn't imagine hitting an animal weighing almost as much as my bike and I combined and I hope I never find out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fz074life Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Caliesv, what kind of windscreen is that? And is it worthy performance wise at speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliesv Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Caliesv, what kind of windscreen is that? And is it worthy performance wise at speeds? In Satin black http://www.motomachines.com/Ermax-Nose-Screen-Sport-27cm-for-Yamaha-FZ-07_p_5022.html Looks better than it performs. But it's a slight noticeable difference on the freeway. I don't know of if Im just used to riding now, but at 70/75, I dont have much push back. But again, I might just be used to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexus Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 put some Clip-ons on it with 1 inch riser down, Driven Halo grips, and a fork balancer. couldn't believe how much more stable the front felt with just the clip-ons and the balancer made it even better front feels very planted now I love it. Will have new levers soon but they sent me wrong ones so I get to wait some more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to get over 120 stock, might give it a shot some night after work. @nexus - is that one of those $35 fork balancers from China on eBay? I was looking at blue but none of my aftermarket parts in blue come close to matching the Yamaha blurple. I bet the clip-ons are doing 99% of that more stable feeling, but I'm definitely interested in the balancer even just for aesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy them like that minus all the decals he put on his. It's easily the fastest color. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
