Funny thing is that it already had the mounting "adapters" installed, so odds are it had one when new. It works easily enough and you are correct, she needed it badly. I am almost through with the Farkling on this one. Didn't need much, but I have an item or two in mind.

Hmm, our fz doesn't have a centerstand neither. Weird.
 
Just did the Seat Concepts seat install yesterday. Came out great. Love their stuff. I am waiting for a new front sprocket washer then I will pop off the side cover again, install the washer and a set of Vortex rearsets. Should complete the current round of farkling.

And some riding ...
 
I suppose that 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999% falls in the realm of "Might."
 
It'll be CB750 Wednesday, tomorrow.

Brake lines on a Doug bike are max 60% possible? Yea right.

I am telling you, the FZ1 brakes are pretty dang good from the gitgo. I might not touch them, but then again I might. Can you put a percentage on that?

I think you are obsessing a bit which makes this more fun.:rofl:
 
Sp, in keeping with FZ1 farkling I added some Vortex Rearsets. Still need to bleed the rear brake and clean the chain. I tell you, cutting up the sprocket cover was tough on me. But the air saw made it bearable.

It raised them about 3/4 to 1 in and back about 1/2 in. Perfect spot. Maybe a 1/4 in high, but I love them.

Here is a pic with the left side on and the right side stock. Unfortunately it lined up with the C channel on the wall and you can't hardly see the left peg.

Back in the day I would have worried about cutting that cover

This is why I have all those spiffy tools to install crimp connectors. Now my brake switch hooks up correctly. And I put them on the old switch in case there is ever a reason to swap back.

Note Yamaha used Brembo M/C front and rear. Here we are old stuff gone ready to install the new.

New pressure switch installed. Support bracket installed, pretty adjustable.

Currently I am going back to stock levers up front. I already did the brake waiting for the clutch. That is all I plan on farkling at this point. Surely there is a worthy farkle left undone.
 
Bustin' my hump for forgetting my air saw ... :brainsnap
 
I rode over to the WMC. Except for the full on rain all the way home it was a nice trip. Who'd a thunk it would rain anyway?
