Just installed my Penske shock today. I will be able to install the AK20's in a couple of weeks. I took it out for a quick spin and I need to raise the rear a little. The BMW shock I had on there was about 1/4" longer and made a difference in how the bike turned into corners. I think it will be just about perfect after that. Here are pics of the shock and AK20's

Well I have been busy spending money and working on the FZ1.
I bought one of the last aftermarket headers for my FZ1 from holeshot, carbon fiber instrument panels and triple tree. Bought a new AGV Dragon leather jacket.
I was able to install the header and also the AK20 cartridges yesterday. Very easy job as I didn't need to replace the bushings or oil seal. I did that a couple months ago when I installed the 1.0 springs. So it was just an oil and cartridge swap. Have not ridden yet as the weather isn't the best. Hopefully tomorrow. Here are some pics.

I found a used motorcycle lift on CL. I purchased the optional side extenders new. It works awesome.

Nice bike! One of the guys I rode with has a 2008 FZ1 and absolutely loves it. I actually considered getting an FZ1 or FZ6 instead of the FZ07, but decided I wanted to give the naked bike a try :). The power of those FZ1's is really impressive. They're probably one of the best sport touring bikes out there. It's too bad that Yamaha doesn't make the FZ1 anymore. They should make an FZ1 again and base it off of the FZ10. That'd be a great sport touring bike.
