After owning my FJR for almost 3 years, and reading about many of your own adventures in farkling, I finally made my first performance modifications.
I added;
- 4 into 1 Muzzy exhaust system (thanks 2WheelTiger!) ***Sound clip link: CLICKY
- Dobeck (Techlusion) Fuel Injection Controller
- and did CDog's caveman easy airbox mod.
Thanks to all the posts and how-to's, everything went fairly smooth. That is except for the removal and install of the radiator....dang that sucked! :dribble:
Here are a few pics, mainly of the finished project. The 'in process' pics are on another camera.
This shot looks like an older FZ1 to me, but you can see the left side without the pipe.
Completed CDog's airbox mod, not bad huh?
I installed the Dobeck unit under the rider seat in the storage tray. I relocated the little tool kit to under the pillion seat. This install was a breeze! I had to lengthen the wire to the negative battery terminal but that's it. I've made some slight modifications to the 'suggested' settings so far. I'm VERY happy with the results. The throttle seems to be 'lighter' or more responsive. On my first test ride the front end came up in 2nd gear under acceleration. FUN, FUN. :yahoo:

The sound is exactly what I was looking for. No, it's not quiet anymore but after almost 3 years of riding 'stealth', it's what I want. It seems like she's come to life.
Right side
Left side. I think it looks cleaner, and accentuates the shaft drive. I like it.
From the rear.
And lastly, my helper. He also got the first ride before his big brother. He was sooo happy.
Thanks again to all of you for the posts and how-to's. You made my weekend much easier!
Peace,
