The FZs together. I didn't do anything to the FZ-07, but I did install Woodcraft Axle Sliders and Swing Arm spools on the FZ1.

Well if you come by the Mulholland Snake tmrw I think 5 of us FZs will be running the course buddy.

Today (actually over the last 3 days) I completely and meticulously cleaned my bike and applied an ACF-50 corrosion treatment. The plastics look fantastic, the electrical connections are protected, and all the bolts and nuts are anti corrosion protected.  
 
cover tires brakes hand grips, and foot pegs.
 
gooey mess at first before wipe down
 
 
 
All shiny and protected.
 

Hey bud... How does that stuff go on? Do you just spray? Is it safe on electrical connections. How long does it last? I read a little bit about it. Says it creates a thin gel barrier.
As shown it can be applied with a spray bottle, or it is available also in aerosol cans. Envision a thick WD-40, it goes on like an oily spray. wipe down the exterior parts to a uniform shine, it leaves a thin film on all parts sprayed, spray all your electrical connections inside and out including battery terminals. It lasts up to one year on parts not exposed to frequent washing/weather, depends on you how long exposed parts stay treated and your climate. up to 6 month I read.

@Sweeps Were those signals plug and play or did you have to wire them up yourself?
 
 
I had to wire them up myself as they came with the adapters for the FZ-10 and I wanted DRL also. Easy enough. Look awesome and super bright. Happy I didn't waste more money on factory version to get same look.

Got it, so you just snipped the plugs and soldered them together directly?

Installed my new Black Widow exhaust system! Sounds badass and worth every dollar.

Here's the video. Sounds much, much better in person since the GoPro's auto audio settings subdue its real sound by a lot.

Kinda cool (and a bit surprising) how they "blued" the tail for ya. Dang near matches the wheels and frame.

I found some reflective vinyls on ebay and thought they'd go good with the bike. I think they match perfectly

i just did the fender eliminator. best mod you can do on these bikes, IMO!
Not cheap to do, but Im going to go with swapping out the rear shock as the best mod.

Im only 185 or so with heavy gear and it seems ok to me... I dunno, I've got nothing to compare it to make a proper judgement call and inevitably sink 1-2 grand on top of the gold bars Ive already lined this thing with. ;-|

My suspension felt horrible on really bad asphalt and when really trying to push the bike. I haven't ridden the FZ-07 lately and I have a feeling I'll be even more disappointed in the FZ-07 suspension after riding the FZ1 around so much lately.

The ride with my Ohlins is a lot smoother, rebound is also a lot better, before I swapped I really wanted a new seat too, now after the upgrade I dont feel the need for the comfort seat option anymore.
Im just a regular rider and really notice the difference so this is not just a track oriented mod. Well wort the 500 Euro or so.

Rode it. Still cold outside (8C / 46F) but cannot let dry roads and sunshine go unused. Experienced a highly unexpected wheelie in 3rd gear when accelerating over a minor bump. I've done the same thing on a number of bikes at the same spot, but never felt the front go noticeably light. Now the wheel got more than a foot in the air before I rather perplexed shut off the throttle. Still, I can used to it :D
