FT Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 They are just the basic dual sport handguards that cost about $45. Trick is to bend the inside end a little more on a vice for better alignment so the clamp mounts work bettter. The other issue was that I wanted to keep the bar end weight so I drilled a hole through the center and tapped it with an 8mm X 1.25 thread to mount the outside of the guard to the outside of the bar end. The bar end is different than most bar ends in that they don't use a bolt. A 10mm Allen removes the bar end as one heavy piece. I drilled about 1 1/2" into the bar end, but you could drill all the way through it. Just an example: Western Power Sports Off-Road Handguards $44.99 You save $4.96 (9%) (58) WPS Off-Road Handguards Aluminum inner bar wrapped in plastic roost deflector for added protection Comes complete with all necessary hardware Fits all 7/8" standard handlebars Optional adapter mounts available for use on oversized 1-1/8" handlebars Compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently looking into a good windscreen/handguard combo. I'm settled on the MRA Touring screen but still need to find a good guard. I'm thinking both clear would be nice to keep the naked design of the bike. With that said, do you know the screw hole size on the ends of the handlebar? Although a lot of companies haven't made guards for the FZ-07, I'm guessing that I could get a set for a different bike (FZ-09?) and they'll fit the 07.

skawdee Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Now the real wait begins. Did you get one, yet?! I just bought mine 1 month ago and put about 500 miles on so far. Neat thing is that I actually bought mine USED! I drove from Jackson Hole, Wyoming where I live to Southern Utah. Worth it! I was referred to this forum by Darrel Griffith. I met him on the FZ-07 Motorcycle Rider's Facebook page and then met up with him in-person in Utah after buying the bike. It's nice to be apart of a "family".

Kwaipuak Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Was researching bikes. Was all over the place, was looking at Ducati's, BMW dualsports, street triples, Versys, KLRs, DRZs. I know I enjoy long hauls more than knee dragging. The FJ-09 was glorious but out of my price range and really, too big for my 5'7" manlet body. Then I started seeing comparisons of the 09 to the triple, m821 etc. Read more into that and saw that the suspension wasn't the kindest. Then I saw the 07 and loved it. I was coming off an '11 Ninja 650R so it was basically the same bike, 60 lbs less, with a better torque curve. The only thing I miss on the ninja is the windshield for 75mph+ riding. Annnnnyways, TL;DR I found this site, read the love and decided on this bike before sitting on it. Sat on it, knew I wanted one. Happened to browse our classifieds and a memeber was selling his 3 miles from my house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutchkiller Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I Googled FZ 07 and this forum was on the first page of results if I remember correctly. I started researching the FZ 07 when I saw one at the dealership about a month ago and saw this forum some time shortly after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz20 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 A Bing search turned U up while trying to find a 17 tooth Sprocket . To my surprise , can't see any mention of sprockets on here , YET ! The 17-tooth www.jtsprockets.com/catalogue/sprocket/JTF1183 is similar to www.jtsprockets.com/catalogue/sprocket/JTF1591 which is actually made for the FZ-07. Personally, I've kept the stock front sprocket but attached a 41-tooth rear sprocket. And that's about as far back as the stock swingarm/chain will go --- I'm not sure the FZ-07 can even fit a 17-tooth front sprocket!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastj Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'm strongly considering getting an 07 for my first bike, I've been searching the internet for problems, mods, maintenance tips etc. I went and looked at them today and I am very close to pulling the trigger on a '16 in silver/blue.
