I have owned my 2017 FZ07 for about 2 weeks and have not been able to control myself modifying the bike. I am taking an oath right now that I am done for the year. Here is the kicker, I have not been able to ride my bike yet as I am coming off my second collar bone surgery. I have ridden my buddies stock FZ so  I am familiar with the bike. Has anyone else gone hog wild right when they bought it like me or am I just sick. Here is what is being done so far.

Dude, you ain't even got a loose screw let alone nuts.  You get style points for doing it without having riden it yet (beat me on that one) but you have no idea. Some of the folks around here have bankrupt small governments. I'm the poster child for bigger, faster, morer, nower, sooner, sicker, dumber.

Wanna bet?

Thanks for making me feel better and making me laugh out loud! If I buy one more item for this bike my wife will have me committed. I am going to show her your post however. 

Don’t know if I should take the bet quite yet

I'll take it

Because you're missing rearsets and bar changes

Seriously; you've got all that on the stock bars still?

 

Man, the second mod I did was the bars.  Needed them a bit wider (mind you, I'm a fairly huge guy, and having my hands so close together was fairly uncomfortable) and given you can get a nice set of very similar bars but 2" wider for like $20 in a matching satin black... well.  

 

First, of course, was the throttle tube.   That still ranks as probably the best mod to do on these bikes; or at least top three overall.  Definitely the best return for the cost.

I may be an anomaly but I don’t mind the stock bars. If I ever bend them I may change them but not until then. I am 6’2 and about 200 so not tiny. Now I just need some saddle time but this is holding me back for a bit.

Shattered my left clavicle back in December in a bad crash. Had one surgery that didn’t work and had second one 3 weeks ago with new locking plate, screws and bone graft. Has not been a fun 7 months so far. Thanks for asking

I feel your pain, I shattered my right clavicle in March in a bad high side crash when the twisty I was riding ended around a turn! I have a steel plate & screws , not healing like they want so they put me on a electronic bone simulator ??

Well we are in the same spot. I did the bone stimulator also for about 2.5 months but it was still non union. When surgeon went back in he said the original plate and screw came loose and bone was just moving all around. New “locking plate” this time with graft hopefully works. I have to admit I am not the best patient and probably didn’t help the healing process by doing to much with left arm. Trying to be better this time. Hope things go better for you!

Well I am glad I didn’t take the bet. I have since bought Sato rearsets, new Proton flush mounts and Woodcraft engine cover sliders. 

I am now officially done... This is a sickness

I am going to put together a review once all is installed. Probably in 2 weeks or so. This has been a pretty big project

Just made the final purchase of the year because you all knew I was going to do it. Have some Woodcraft clip ons  with the 1” risers coming at the end of the week. Hope to get everything wrapped up next weekend so I can do some reviews and get to riding before the snow  flies.

I didn't see a new seat on your list. I wonder about that one because most people didn't find it comfortable for much more than an hour and got new ones.

If it becomes a problem I will probably just have the stock one modified with foam or gel.

I did the same with a liquid polymer gel, works great!

Plastics wrapped (what a PITA) and bike going back together this weekend. Rear shock was easy and everything coming together just before it snows 😂
