Hi Black8.

When you had your seats recovered did you get any gel inserts put in, and who did them for you?

I was also wondering how you find the 8 compared to the fz thou's you've had?

And finally, hi to everyone.

I'd have thought the Fazer8 seat would be the same as the 1000 as it shares so many parts.  I noticed at the bike show that the 2013 Fazer8 has a different construction, its much softer.

Only owned my Black Fazer8 a few weeks and done just over 400 miles (due to weather). Done a few mods so far and have a few more in mind when the budget allows. I'll post some photos soon, so far....
 
  • Centre stand
  • R&G Areo crash bungs
  • R&G tail tidy
  • Scorpion Stainless end can (awaiting delivery, not fitted yet.)
Future mods...
 
  • Twin dipped lights mod
  • R&G heated grips
  • Beowolf Rad grill
  • gold short levers
I'll ask at the garage if they will do the headlight mod at the 600 mile service. I had it done with my FZ6 fazer years ago and it makes the bike look a lot better as well as the advantage of making it easier to see and be seen. R&G heated grips are 'RIDE Recommended' for being simple and effective. I had Oxfords before and they were useless. I love the look of the gold Rad Guard on Black8's bike works well with the forks and gold in the callipers I might add gold levers to the mix aswell. If I suddenly find myself with too much money, I may consider full givi hard luggage for a bit of touring around europe in the summer and a set of lower fairings that i saw on another site 'FZ8-forum.com' that a guy bought from France, they look awsome. (See link below).
