Nice upgrades! I'll making a lot of the same modifications. A few questions. Is that a makeshift attachment for the Akrapovic pipe near the rear fender or is it actually part of the stock installation? Did you paint those heat guards on the pipe black, or did you order it that way? Also, did you find that the Rizoma bars slowed the bike's turning quickness compared to the stock bars?
Adam Whisner thanks! The Akra attachment is the original part of the exhaust, it does need slight alteration to work with the Evotech tail tidy. The exhaust heat shields I got powder coated black as I prefer the contrast! The Rizoma bars actually make the bike more flickable, it's a sportier riding position compared to the lazy stock bars. Hope this helps!
So would you say the Rizoma bars are just as wide as stock, but just a shorter reach? I found the narrower FZ-07 bars, which are also farther forward, steered pretty slowly during a test ride.
Adam Whisner the rizoma bars are similar width to the stock bars but not as high, making the stance sportier. I find that it gives better feedback from the front tyre and the ride feels more involved. Steering feels more responsive to me!
