What have you done to your FZ-10 today?

Hello
My name is Mark Schellinger.
I work as an instructor at the Yamaha Champions Riding School.
ridelikeachampion.com
The instructors and the students get to ride many of the Yamaha motorcycles during our two day schools.
Every school, we offer two-up rides as a trading tool.
We have been doing these two-up rides on the
mighty FZ-1. The FZ-1 has been our go to motorcycle for this.

Then Yamaha introduced the FZ10.
I fell in love with this machine right away. 
Smooth, Powerful, Nibble.

As a solo rider the bike is amazing.
One issue we are having is, dragging toes while cornering.
Sure I had to move my feet more inboard, and yes way up on the balls of my feet. Compared to the FZ-1 the pegs on the FZ-10 are much lower. Closer to the ground.
Maybe a bit more comfortable, but too close to the tarmac.

We did a test the other day...
We mounted a set of R1 rear sets up to my FZ-10.
The shifter side bolted right up.
The brake side had issues with the brake pedal.
Our COO Keith Culver called me in on the radio, and said "I got something I want you to try".
I swtitched bikes and headed right back out on the track.
First problem, and a major problem. My feet are so high up and moved back that my heels are in to the buddy pegs. I can't even point my toes in to the turn. I make a
single lap and pull in. I tell Keith, I had to ride pigeon toed No Good.
Keith removes the buddy pegs.
I go out again.
Now I can move my feet around as needed, but I can feel just how high-up these pegs are. No issues with touching my toes anymore.
The R1 set up was too high of the FZ-10.

It was a fun experiment, but we had to put everything back to stock.
I gotta give some two-up rides on this FZ-10. Good times!

Today I installed CRG Aroow mirrors on RhinoMoto bar ends. Same setup as several others I've seen. Easy, good quality, good aesthetics. The mirrors are smaller than I estimated, so I'll see if I like them.

I received the Vagabond tail cleanup kit. Super nice quality and a very detailed install video. I'll install it on Monday.

While the tail is apart, I plan to install my Skene Design P3 lights an controller for a flashing brake light.

I'm not sure if it will cause code issues, so I'll let everyone know.
I sue Posi-Products, si it's really easy to undo everything without permanent modification.

I can cross it off the list now, got it done today.

Also installed the quickshifter and heated grips.

Congrats sir. Oil time. Bit of a change from the BMW?

After having cleaned it last sunday made it dirty again. After 3 cold days took the 10 to work thursday and friday. No rain but dirty wet roads.

Haven't installed anything lately, but have plans to change exhaust, with or without de-cat, still not sure, SC project, Arrow or Termignoni.
Also rear sets are high on my list. After markets for R1, e.g. Gilles Tooling, Bonamici, Lightech. Braided brake lines from HEL.

What do I have installed from the day I got the 10?
Pirelli Angel GTs
White wheel rim stickers
Rossi/Monster/Joker stickers
Clear tank pad
Frame sliders.
Brake/clutch levers. Wiil be replaced by Lightech.
Lower handlebar.
1 bar end mirror (left). Will be replaced and now left and right side.
Bar ends.
Yamaha tail tidy. Replaced by simplar lighter one in the mean time.
Painted some parts blue.

These are not pictures as it is now. Tail tidy shown is still from Yamaha. Bar end mirror is different ans so are the bar ends.

Put my transformer badge on today

A guy at work made it for me. It's cut out of steel and I painted it with that rubberized coating.

I wanted it stealthy. To keep it on the bike. It's just velcroed on

I have to admit that i find the look of the blacked out exhaust and cat converter pretty badass! Great Stuff!
