I really like how you changed the look of your fizzy! I never liked the look of the stock front fairing on FZ1s. I came very close to buying an...
Thanks NV. You'd have to describe what a throttle plate is cuz I'm such a newbie still. However, get this... So I picked up my bike from the...
After talking with another motorcycle friend, I decided to call the dealership and ask them not to touch it so I could "pursue another course of...
