12ival Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Went by the shop today and its pretty much a garage. The front end of the business is never really opened from what they said. Let me tell you it is pretty sick in there with all the bikes ready to race. Saw a dope ass fz07r in there being worked on. Once i paid for my plates and had them in my hand, all the stress and anger of trying to get them went away! So far I'm happy now i just have to install them. Ill keep you all posted. I guess the guy who owns it is always out at different tracks and can never answer his phone. The guy selling me the plates was a mechanic who tried to call the guy for a price and he couldn't even get a hold of him. lol Aside from going into the location i have no advice on contacting this ghost ass shop. http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee486/krisvsbh/IMG_0682_zpsm98zrqip.jpg http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee486/krisvsbh/IMG_0683_zpsjpp2psiw.jpg http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee486/krisvsbh/IMG_0681_zpsky30gnxg.jpg i need pics after you install. would like to see if this replaces the stock mounting plate and if the silver cover still fits.

Shoot! i didnt think about the silver cover fitting after. I actually not even sure how to install this. I'm kinda stressing out haha From the pics on fz07r.com, it looks like it bolts directly to the frame, replacing the stock plate. it looks llike the silver cover might fit cuz it uses the stock bolt. the silver doesn't even bolt to the stock plate. but i could be wrong. the fz07r has fairings after all.

I read that you have to remove the swing arm pivot bolt. Any idea where this is? thanks!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea where this is? thanks!!!!! i believe thats the one pictured. underneath the silver cover. i had to unbolt it to install my akra carbon bracket. pain in the ass. i suggest a breaker bar. its 80 ft/lbs of torque. not sure how to remove the actual bolt though. havent seen the other side.

howlinhoss Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 There is a thread showing you have to cut the round part of the silver side plate to avoid interference with the shift linkage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shogun88 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just talked to Andy at apmotoarts and he offered to do the install for me when he's back in town. I'll get some pics and do an install how to. Seems like there is some cutting and you need to support the bike when that swing arm bolt comes out. Hey I'll take the offer, Looking to have them in before the end of the month. Keep you all posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchin3081 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Wow. Seems like a lot of work just to put in some relocation brackets. Yoshimura just needs to hurry and make a set for this bike. I guess new rearsets aren't too bad of an option for those that don't live in SoCal. Keep us updated though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybmx Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Just FYI: these adapters will replace the stock silver plates. They will also relocate the kickstand and make them closer to the ground. Therefore, you will have to either cut the kickstand shorter or raise the bike. You will also need to drill the stock kickstand holes a little bigger for proper fit. I have those and loving them so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hordboy Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'll talk to Andy and see about stocking the plates at my shop. He uses my airboxes so we're already doing a bit of biz together. He is on the road a lot, supporting a MotoAmerica racer. More later. J.D. Hord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchin3081 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I got a hold of Andy on Facebook also. I told him we have a bunch of FZ-07 members looking to purchase his relocation brackets and also some that are looking for the race fairing set. I'll keep in contact with him to see how we can order a certain amount all at once and what is the best option to move forward with the purchase.

When I replied back and asked for more details about the groupbuy so I could relay the message back to everyone, I never received a reply back.
