Standard FZ1/S exhaust for sale in excellent condition, from a 2008 bike, hardly used. Offers welcomed

Anyone found good matches for these? Had a quick search, but couldn't find anything. Mine needs a couple of spots touching up. Seems like more of a very dark grey graphite-like finish.
Would be useful for PieEater's FAQ section too.

so some time last year i managed to loose one of the frame plugs so it does not look good. i have been looking around but cant seem to find any for sale. does anyone know where i can buy some?

i really like these

does anyone know where i can find any frame plugs that will fit and look nice?

Hope nobody's waiting on delivery of an exhaust from motad, looks like they've shut up shop. No mention of what's happening with existing orders.

Shame, they've been around for a long time.

Hello everyone,


My names Shamen and I'm 23, Norfolk area, Engineer. 


Picked up a '99 fzs600 a couple weeks ago, she's red and carries full luggage.  :lol [/size]I decided to postpone  the introduction/ joining the forum until i'd done a couple thousand to be sure I was going to keep the thing (I'm very picky when it comes to bikes... [size=78%] :rolleyes  [/size]13 in the past few years, all sizes, many genres).[size=78%]


This is me downsizing from my recent trio of st1100 (sold), '07 ZZR1400 (selling soon) and '86 z550 LTD (for sale). It's looking like she'll be my only bike for my sole source of transport for the near future.


So far I have to say, I'm very happy, I'd forgotten how much fun smaller IL4's can be... actually being able to use the available power. It's so light, manageable, easy to live with.


So far the only mod's  I've done is the 12mm Nut/ washer kit and a +1 tooth front sprocket. Just because i'm so used to turning lower rpm at 60-70. I've also modified an unknown brand exhaust.... existing baffle was too quiet, removing it was too....  :eek  [/size]'lets say obnoxious' . So I found the trick to enabling a happy compromise, without changing the nice sound was to keep the exhaust outlet unobstructed, whilst adding a baffle tube within the exhaust it'self to quiet down the high rpm sound. [size=78%]

[/size]I have a few idea's for future mods/ trinkets down the line. [size=78%]

[/size]Also very happy to find there's a pretty decent looking owners club on here! [size=78%]

[/size]Looking forward to getting to know people over time! [size=78%]


Thanks, Shamen.


ps.. owe i forgot to ask, does anyone on here have much experience with the Renthal Ultra Low bars? i think the 758's? I noticed today my bars are ever so slightly bent and it's now something that'll bug me to no end.

Anybody fitted these to their Gen. 1  or does everyone go for the ultra low bars. If you have fitted either did you keep the old cables and hoses. First decent ride on my 1000 at the weekend (after the 3 w s, waiting for it, work and weather) and the original bars are proper sh1te, not sure who they were designed to fit but it certainly wasn't a 5ft. 10 bloke with normal elbows. I definitely need less sweep, maybe a bit more height and a little bit closer to me I reckon? Apart from that, and the weather, what a lovely bike to ride.
All info. gladly received.
Cheers Gents.

Hi


Can anyone give me the sizes of the bolts that go through the dog bones.
I don't want to remove to measure.
Need length of unthreaded and total length as in pic, from inside of bolt head.


I have new adjustable dog bones that are wider than originals and so will need longer bolts to fit.

Saw this on another forum and thought it could be interesting to see/ hear about some of the worst things you guys have ever seen done to a motorbike?

Pics are even better

Here's something to start......

Just back from a 10 day trip from were I live SW France to the Costa Blanca were I used to live. Why did I ever move away from Spain.
Anyway did my best to avoid the Toll roads and Motorways. Broke the run up down and back with an overnight stop in a cheap hostel **star used booking.com €25.00 basic but comfortable and clean. Decent enough bar /restaurant in Monreal del Campo about 100kms south of Zaragoza. Had a bit of a thirst on me so had 6 pints and a large whiskey to take to bed that and my menu del Dia € 24.00.
Had good dry and warm weather all the way down,. Great biking roads N 330 is a cracker s is the N284. Only day it rained was the Monday but seeing as I was having a day away from the bike with my mate did not bother me.
I had a couple of days getting re familiar again with the Bernia Mountains at the back of Benissa and Jalon valley. I love it up there and with the tourist not about one could misbehave.
Came back over the Pyrenees passing through Formigal and Panitcosa ski resorts again weather amazing. The only down side with the MT09 is the fuel tank size at 14 litres it is a pain as if you are giving it some you can be looking for a petrol station every 100 mils or so. This is my 3rd long haul tour in a year. Sw France to N Ireland last April, Sw France to N  Wales in September and this run. Not bad for an old fart at 68.
