Bike is done for the season...

I've been having a gas leak problem on the bike so I finally decided to put the bike away for winter already and start pulling it apart.  Got the carb bank off and found that ALL 4 carbs had cracked float bowls to to over tightening of the drain bolt.  The #3 bolt was in so tight I can't get it out and the #4 bowl had silicone in it to try and seal the cracks.  WTF?!  Of course the bowls are like the only part on the bike that you can no longer buy so it looks like this winter I'll be trying to find either new bowls or new carbs.

FZ1 "Project"

Not really a project but here is a list of things I've done to the FZ1 so far and some plans to come:


• Wired the rear brake light to act as tail, brake, and turn signals
• Got a set of bar end mirrors
• Added a Fiamm Highwayblaster horn
• Fixed the throttle from sticking
Things on the way

• Have a new clutch lever and perch coming, the stock one was loose
• Have a set of Driven grips on the way
• Have a set of LED front turn signals coming
This winter

• I plan to rip out the emissions junk and while I have the radiator off I'll change the plugs
• I might do a new handlebar or repaint the current one, if so I'll do it before I do the grips
• New brake lever
And I think that is it.  I want to do as little as possible on the bike because I want this to start a street fighter / naked bike and don't want a lot of junk on it and I don't want to get into modding it and dumping a bunch of cash into it.  Then hopefully come Spring ride it more. LOL
