Chomorro Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Finally done with the 2016 fz07 post purchase fixes. CustomLED signals all around CustomLed Relay, Genie and H4 Headlight bulb New handle bar, pegs, shifter, shorter peg feelers Amazon radiator guard Amazon Barend mirrors (stays in place surprisingly) Amazon windscreen Amazon mirror deletes Amazon Universal tail tidy (would prefer a different style) OES Sliders all around New rosso 3 tires Mt07 blacked out frame covers (weight savings bonus lol) Plastic vs the 2016 metal covers. Lastly battery post easy tighten mod I do on every bike. On the way shorty levers, black reflective rim tape, silicone license plate frame.

I do it on all my bikes basically when you disconnect a post it's ridiculously impossible to get the bottom lock nut to catch again or tighten sometimes and they usually drop out the sides and get lost forever too lol. I just pull the battery and cut a piece of rubber hose just enough to press the lock nut against the top. Now it can't move, tightens with ease, and won't get lost. Also prevents loosening from vibrations which the negative has worked its way loose on a vtwin cruiser I had once and cut power at 55mph...... so I never chance it anymore. Pic is from a different bike but you get the idea. On that battery I just used a piece of Amp wire rubber. On this battery I used some left over car rubber hose. Just needs to be enough to press the lock nut against the top. Edited August 26, 2022 by Chomorro 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo10 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Or a piece of foam. I learned this on another site, after finding that only the original bolts would reach the nut. Annoying at the time. 1 Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomorro Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Installed an oem windscreen that I got on ebay for much cheaper then the dealer so gave it shot. It looks good, but don't like that I have to remove the triple bolts to take it off. I will run it for awhile and see how I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNEG2@VERIZON.NET Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I use a lock and or toothed washer and it never came loose. I like your idea as well in conjunction with the washer bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
