What have you done to your FZ-10 today?

Took it to the strip!

Ran a best of 10.8 that night, I’ve ran a 10.6 before but in cooler weather and better launches. There was a R1 there running low or flat 10’s. Need more practice!

Hey gang, few questions on mods I've seen; hopefully somebody can answer them
1. I like the Rizoma barend mirrors better than CRGs... but do they vibrate at speed? And in addition, do they mount to the stock barend? Looks that way, but just want to know. And glad there's an OEM plug for the holes. Just need to find out if those same plugs fit the passenger footpeg holes.
2. Which option is better to minimize the vibration that leads to tingling: D-Axis Driven grips or Grip Puppies over stock?
3. Want to keep the cat, so I'd only install a slip-on (Akra or Alpha T), but is it worth it? All are straight-thru, so hardly different. If yes, which.
4. Which is the best looking fender eliminator? Saw many, but no mention of brand. The only one I saw specified was the Vagabond, but not impressed with it. I want one that retains stock illumination and looks as OEM as possible (and aluminum, preferably).
5. Which are the best axle/frame sliders on the market? Again, saw only a couple mentioned. Ease of installation and sturdiness would be #1 priority, since basically all look the same, no?
6. Has anybody tried to remove the ugly 'bar' from the stock license plate appendage, and remount on stock holes? I was looking at one, and I'm almost sure the spacing from all 4 bolts looked the same at both ends of that 'bar'. If that's the case, all that was needed (if at all) was small spacers if the appendage doesn't clear the taillight. I'd prefer that over the Vagabond alternative, but wanted to order all the crap before I got the bike. Just curious if anybody tried that.

That's all folks. Many thanks.

Upgraded the brakes to stainless lines, Vesrah pads, and Brembo RCS master. Holy stopping power!

Awesome. Hey, may I ask you how you filled the system (from nipple or reservoir), how you bled it (vacuum or pressure), and if you could get rid of all air bubbles. I'm afraid to mess with the brake lines because in many motorcycles it's almost impossible to get rid of all air in the system, even with a nipple on the MC, like yours (bad line design). And which braided lines you bought? Didn't mention that, and they look nice. And why not Brembo pads if you also got its MC? Just curious. I'm still debating between this bike and a Triumph RS, which has that same RCS M/C but with M50 monoblocks, which are the absolute best you can buy. Must have awesome feel. But yours should be close.

Vagabond fender eliminator and Blaster X sequential taillight. Bought both off Ebay for regular price and installed by watching the Vegabond vid on their product. Easy install, all plug and play. Love the look.

I know you had a bunch of pieces painted, but do you have any idea how much it was for just the bits of the belly pan? Mine came in yesterday and the winglets really aren't a great match to the matte black so I'll inevitably be getting those pieces painted the same metallic gray. Just curious so I have a ballpark idea of how much it'll run me.

Thanks mate.
