I have fitted bar risers on mine had them done by the guy who services the bike, He said that there was enough cable and all the gubbins to fit them without having to reroute anything.

Ok here goes, I bought a FZS600 as a hack as I have a XJR1300 that I have blinged up so wanted something I could ride any weather then the wife pasted her test rode the FZS and wanted it now I loved the FZS so I bought the FZ8.

I found it more comfortable to ride just as good handling (it is a bit better) it does what it says on the tin.
I,ve now got to the point where I just don't have the time to ride two bikes so one has to go so as much as I love it the XJR is going.

Having said all that its looking like I might lose the FZ8 to the wife as she wants to upgrade but as I bought the white one which is wanted I will by another one in black.
Hope this helps with your question.

thanks for the pics guys, I always find it difficult to evisage what they might look like once on the bike, short/long etc. I do like the look of the Mivv and was looking at one of those but have to say the Dan moto seems to get a good feback for its price on the web. Only seem to come from China though which always gets my pessimistic side rising?

I had no problems when I ordered mine it only took a week to arrive.

I have one of the Danmoto cans on mine cost £100 off of Ebay fits good is nice and loud (no baffles in) but if you go down that road make sure you get the baffles at the same time.

Iv had my Fazer8 for just short of two years now and really like it.

The wife is going to try it out this year as her FZS600 is getting a bit tired now so if she gets on with it il lose it to her, so I have had fun at the shows and dealers looking and trying other bikes but no joy so im going to get another Fazer8 in a different colour.

As for the MT range don't like it It feels to short, btw the reason the wife wants my bike is I bought the white one which is what she wanted.

Had mine since last year love it but i spend my time riding it not posting on a internet forum.

Fortunately I am able to do both as I am "retired" but will be looking after my grandsons 3 days a week next month which will cramp my stile a bit
However still leaves 4 days for riding, so planning to make the most of it

And posting on another site we both belong to.

I have a xjr1300 great bike, The FJR is a faired version of that now i am a bit bias but dont think you will get a better bike loads of grunt and with a little mod will go like stink.

Are you sure he put you on the insurance, He may be telling you porkies

Some drivers are that dumb, but half the time cyclist get what they deserve.
If they were to take notice of the highway code and stop at traffic lights  keep off the pavements and ride with a bit of consideration for other road users they may get treated differently.
As for no insurance and road tax don't get me started.

Well picked up the bike at five o'clock rode home to see the wife standing out side the front door she had locked us out came out of the door wind rush bang door closed, I didn't have a key with me as i didn't have my usual bunch.
Oh dear can you ride over to the outlaws to get the spare key  Didn't need asking twice.
Well impressed nice ride smooth and very torquee.
One happy bunny.

I have just bought the new shoei neotech flipfront with the sun visor.
I have been well impressed with it the sunvisor is really good very comfortable and light. But that's just my opinion .
