Nope I didn't want to add ballasts to a naked bike, so just H4 5000 K bulbs 100/90W

And I think the last MOD I did to the old FIZZY was some eBay FDB levers .. went short / short first, then got a long for the clutch for a short / long combo that I like (same as the 'Shee) :

BRAKE:

SHORT CLUTCH:

LONG CLUTCH:

Got done doing the "spring" oil change on the FAZER, and took it for a VERY short ride (COLD!)

I can vouch for the Mobil1 4T stuff, been running it in the raptor since I got it, and now in my R1.... LOVE it. Hell, I run mobil 1 in everything though, including my lawn mower!

I'm a long time fan of Mobil 1 also, have full synth in the FZ1, '82 Z28, and cracker jr. Z71

Valvoline (dino oil) in the '67 rs, & TS125R

and HONDA oil in the BANSHEE

Well - that two stroke does sound more like a ricer than a muscle car /ducking

... the only thing that doesn't add up is .. Why is it so fast

WEIRD !!!

New swing arm spools today ... I guess the old ones were spool / slider combos, but the plastic was CHEESY, and rotated all the time .. so these black anodized spools were VERY cheap for a easy change up

OLD ones then new:

the FAZER is getting new toys:

http://www.12oclocklabs.com/

and a -1 front sprocket from YAMAHA should be here by the weekend (I hope!)

Now Roy's "torque" will only keep him ahead for 2 feet instead of 4 feet

DONE ! and back on the road

p.s. I did bend down the lock ring tab after the photo

You'll like it. I've always gone -1 or -2 on all my bikes on the front. The busa however still has the stock sprocket on it, but I've already bought a new -1 last year, just haven't put it on. In fact I rolled the busa out today to take it for a spin, but when I went in to get my helmet, mother nature decided to start hailing, so back in the trailer it went for another day.

Yea it pulls like a freight train now

. BUT like you the weather didn't allow much riding time this weekend ...

I rode the pedal bike more this week than either motorcycle !!! (but too be fair: the TS125R still down, and FZ1 was until Fri afternoon)
