Agreed! Where did you get those, Abe?

Agreed! Where did you get those, Abe?

I found them on Amazon. They also have ones that are tapered, now I'm having a hard time deciding. We'll have to see where Abe got his from.

Thanks Abe. Just ordered them. It's great to see your bike and how they look on a yellow FZ beforehand.

I only saw the backside, but were you riding Hwy 11 last week, north of Capn' Cook? My daughter and I spotted a yellow FZ while she munched on Donkey Balls. Great looking rig.

What windscreen is that? That's the first I've seen I liked the looks of, most of them look goofy because of how they're spaced away from the headlight

Sorry for the delay, been on vacation. It's the Puig Sport screen-new generation. I like it, effect is noticeable, but I'll probably try a touring model out of curiosity one of these days.

I like that Yamaha logo on the windscreen!

My '15.
Been up and down so far, love the bike but have issues with "carpal tunnel" from weight lifting over the years. But PT is working so far!
I think im going to keep her, get through this medical issue and enjoy her!
I also can not wait to get an aftermarket exhaust under her!! Id love to have that Jaskap but I think the M4 might be on the short list.
Hopefully do shorty levers, and for petes sake get those grips swapped out soon!

 

[RickyNY]

I'm glad to see you're not selling her Strike. The more I ride my FZ, the more I like her. You will too.

Nice (mechanized) Banana, Ricky! Yellow and black make a striking combination, I reckon. I owned one of the first Honda Valkyries ('97 model) in the same colour combo and most comments were of the thought it was a custom paint job..

 

[StrikeSwiftly]

Thanks Rick,

Did a good 50 mile ride this morning, the stretches are really helping!
I really enjoy riding this bike, I rode my brothers 1200 sportster and couldn't wait to get back on the Z.
