Hey guys! GooDy is in the house again. Today, I got Ohlins to send me a Scotts steering damper for my Gixxer1000 K7. Scotts is the best steering damper that you can find nowadays. Just check out the forums!

It is a rotary style damper that offers the most adjustability. It’s easy to tell why this is regarded as the cream of the crop. It is top mounted, so it will most likely survive numerous crashes. There are high and low speed adjustments, damping motion range adjustment, and all of the adjustments are infinite. Plus, you can adjust the sucker on the fly!

This particluar unit performs flawlessly. The best description I can give to say how well a damper works is simply that it gave me no hint that it was even there. And, there were no shakes or “shimmies” in the front whatsoever.

What’s up people? I know it’s been a while since I updated you on the king of Japanese bikes. So, today I installed a new windscreen courtesy of the great folks at Zero Gravity.

As you guys all know, I previously had the Hotbodies Racing windscreen on the Gixxer, and was very unhappy with it. Check out the story here. Heck, it’s the bottom post under the Gsxr1000 section. You can find it.

So, definitely, I am very happy with the ease of installation, and fit of the product. Keep up the good work guys! And as for you, you piece of warped plastic from Hotbodies, rest in pieces sucker!

Hi everybody this is GooDy again. After I put all my mismatched fairings onto my bike, I started to dress it up a little bit. Just like what everyone else does, this is an easy mod that won’t really hurt your wallet. You guessed it baby, a double bubble windscreen!

It gives your bike a unique look easily. So, once again, thanks to the guys at Lex Racing for this Hotbodies Racing windscreen. It bolts on easily and sure looks better than the stock one.

Well, I’ll leave the look for you guys to decide because everyone has different styles and tastes. Let’s talk about performance for a bit. The big question is this, “Does the windscreen increase the bike’s performance?” My answer is “Yes, if you pick up the double bubble one.”

Hi everyone. GooDy is here again. Today I’ll be talking about the AVS unbreakable levers shipped to us from ASV Levers USA. The ones that I have are the gold color ones. AVS offers three different colors: gold, black and silver.

I have funny thing to ask you guys. How many aftermarket levers in sliver color have you ever seen on bikes? Hahaha, you know what I’m saying? It’s rare right? Who needs stock colored levers when they buy aftermarket ones, right? Plus, these go with the whole color scheme of my Gixxer.

Okay back to the ASV levers. After I put them on, I loved them right away. The wide range of adjustability is amazing. They actually offer around 20 clicks of adjustable positions. Each click is like 1mm of difference. It’s kinda cool to me because I’m a very picky person. I like things just right. When I had CRG’s or Vortex levers on my previous bikes, I felt like the number 3 position was too close, and the number 4 position was is a bit too far.

Hey yo! GooDy is in the house again! Today I am going to show you a new mod on my Gixxer1000 K7. When I got into the office, I received a package from Lex Racing. I opened the box and was confused. I thought, “what the heck is this?” Looks like a mouse! 

Let’s rewind a little bit. A couple weeks ago, I had a conversation with the staff at Lex Racing while Alex was getting his tires changed at Desmoto. They asked me if I forgot to put my mirrors back on after I went to the track and I said no. I told them I just don’t use side mirrors because firstly it is hard to split lanes in city, and secondly most of them only show my elbows or my butt. And of course, thirdly they look like crap!

Then they told me about a new kind of side mirrors that they can order for me. Now here we are! Pig Spotters in the IPM office right now.

At first, I doubted That these things will even work. But I went ahead and installed them in the stock position anyways. I found out I couldn’t see anything! So I moved it around to see where it could work. I ended up mounting them sideways on the edges of the upper fairing like you see in the photo.
