Howdy from Austin, TX

[llama737]

Hi, all! I found fz8central from a Jake2Wheels youtube video, which led me over here!


I've had my 2012 FZ8 since new, about 10k miles ago. So far no major mods past bar end mirrors, tail tidy, integrated tail light, and a Coffman's slip-on.



Next on the docket for me is hopefully an R6 throttle tube (any pointers on the best place to get my hands on one cheap? ), followed by the 'airbox mod' when I can get my ECU flashed.



I'm an IT Systems Engineer for a living. Long days (and sometimes nights/weekends) keeping the back-end running for a software co here in Austin.



For the bike, I feel like a couple pictures speak more than I easily can

Welcome mate, don't be shy just jump right in!
Your 8 looks great.

Welcome from Kansas. I was down near you last summer, we did a couple of days on the Three Sisters. Nice area to ride. I too do IT for a manufacturing plant. Get in and speak up. 
If you have not been on the FZ8 Central site, register there and look in the How To's, there are several threads on the part numbers and installs. It's pretty quiet over there but there is a bunch of good info. 
Here is a site that lists OEM parts. It is pointing to the 8 so just change the bike and you should find the throttle tube for the 6.

I used to ride down to see a friend in Midlothian before we drifted apart. Mind you it was at random times of the day/night, so not too crazy we didn't see one another.
