Welcome! Bike looks great, Good choice on the hyper silver! As far as mods go I’ve done the R6 throttle tube, motodynamic fender elimator and currently have my ECU in the mail to be tuned for my new Yosumira exhaust. The first thing I did was take those ugly stickers off near the tank, I feel as they are an eye sore and detract from the clean lines of the FZ07.

Nice mods thanks for sharing! Definitely considering sticker removal not my fave, fender eliminator was also key. I have the Two Brothers Full Exhaust Aluminum S1r Black-series and love it, also makes it sound like a beast.

welcome fellow californian

As far as handlebars (your other post), I'm running some rizoma handlebars and like them very much (they're a little more aggressive, I think I paid around $60 for them).

I was so happy to get my fender eliminator kit done, it was killing me. Great choice on the ECU flash and suspension. I haven’t done much aside from the exhaust, elimimator, and lights so far, but have a long list. Hoping to gain some insight here so thank you for sharing!

I second the ECU flash, it is my favorite mod.  I cannot comment on suspension yet as I just installed a Nitron shock and there has been snow on the road ever since.  Matris forks from @pattonme (who I also bought my shock from) are my next upgrade, then I think I am done (like you can ever be done...I keep finding cool mods).

Agreed it is never ending. With my R6 it was already modified, so starting with stock is kind of fun. Just learning as I go with this one, never done a lot of work myself or really much research until I bought this bike so it all feels a bit new.

Thank you I will definitely check them out! Do you still have the stock mirrors or did you switch up?

I'm still on the stockers. I just never found mirrors I liked that much more than the stockers.
I'm mostly done with upgrades for now. I just need some new tires and I gotta toss on my tank grips on at some point.

...but I do daydream about what I should upgrade next every single day.... 😁

I’m still rocking the stocks as well I had bar end mirrors for awhile on my R6 for a bit and wasn’t sold on them, but also not thrilled with how high the mirrors are on my FZ 07. When I find the right ones I will switch. Good luck with not buying more upgrades 😄 that will be tough.

Bike looks great I really like the windscreen and choice of blue. You have done a lot to your bike what’s you favorite upgrade so far?

It will be cool to hear what you think of the Nitron shocks, hope the snow lets up soon for you, one of the reasons I love living here in Cali I was in Oregon before and can say it’s great to have more than three months of good riding weather.

Actually it's the combination of the flash and the R6 throttle tube. It transformed the bike into a completely different motorcycle.

It looks like we might get riding weather tomorrow.  My fingers are crossed.

Thanks!  It changes color every year or so.  So that keeps it looking fresh.  Wish I could be riding, but there is still snow on the ground up here.

Do you paint yourself or send it out to a shop? Had my R6 custom painted but that was up in Portland OR when I lived there. Hang in there hopefully some good weather is around the corner. It’s been a weird winter here every time I put my bike away it gets nice again.
