Dude do you have Instagram when I can check these mods on picture?

[@lordgibbness]

@@michalpetras5199 not as many bike photos as I should have, but there are some... instagram.com/lordgibbness

Rob Thorpe awesome bike man and your page is awesome bro nice pictures be safe two wheeled brother take care

[@danielwaller6276]

Checked ur Instagram and love ur bike! The grey and black combo with the mods are awesome! If u are planning on selling it at some point whether it’s it’s in a year or 2 please let me know as I’ll be interested! :)

[@lordgibbness]

@@danielwaller6276 haha I'll let you know... I am actually looking to buy a speed triple 1200 this year, but I think I'm gonna keep the mt07 as it's such a fun bike to just jump on and blatt around town etc!

[@justinlzt]

I LIKE THAT CINEMATIC INTRO and the music so much I got harder than a R1M seat

[@respect141]

keep toggling back from r6 to mt07... used to have an 2001 r6, but now the seat is much higher.. this vid sold me... plus your house is huge

Love the intro but don't make it too long on every video !

[@shehzadkhan1170]

You mean the music video? 😁

[@bryanharvill5054]

Exactly it makes me now want to watch these vidoes

[@eduardoreuter5672]

like from Brazil MT07 = FZ07 in USA

[@jeffruebens8355]

See the Project Farm video about air filters. See the Dave Moss videos about the MT/FZ-07 front forks and back shock. A quick improvement for a K&N oiled cotton air filter is adding a K&N oiled foam prefilter on top of it- it filters a lot more dust and is much easier to clean.

[@AGPullen]

Intro was fantastic, overview was great, and can't wait to see more man!

[@ShakeNBlake509]

Alex Pullen thank you very much

[@YoungMelz]

Loved the intro man 🤙

[@natec7398]

Highly recommend the OEM R6 throttle tube (not motion pro tube). Super cheap and easy mod that makes a fun bike even "funner"! 😉👌

[@joaofury3]

I got it makes puts the beast into a frenzy state ahahah power wheelies easy o 2nd with it too easy

[@KillaZamii]

What’s wrong with the motion pro one? Did you have fitment issues? I got it for my xsr700 and it wouldn’t fit.

[@unklekody]

[@timsmotorcyclediary]

The first mod I made to my FZ-07 were steel-braided brake lines. Night and day difference!

[@ShakeNBlake509]

You must loooove washing your bike lol Sweet wheels

[@neiljarvis8911]

Brilliant video graphics at intro. Really good video!

[@shiftpinoy]

You need to switch out those flag decals. The stars supposed to face the front. Other than that. It’s a dope ass bike. I have a 19 MT07 myself.

[@TheBuel]

I was going to mention that, never display the flag in retreat

[@CP-fl5ch]

True

[@CJizzleJ]

TheBuel “never display the flag in retreat” 💀

[@tylerkurfees4762]

@@CJizzleJ that’s the term for it. Technically speaking the stars are the directional front of the flag.

[@sebastianhuzjak2222]

initro was damn good man :D

[@TheBigChad]

Like the edit, you should end every video the way you began this one. Chill music, dope spots, good vibes 🤙

[@maximus9401]

The peg placement is for me one of the most annoying things about the FZ 07 (which tells you a lot that something so small is the most annoying thing). I'm a shorter person and it gets in the way of where my feet reach down. Hits my leg and I have to move them either in front or behind to reach down. I'm glad there's a solution that others have figured out

[@assortedpov]

I got the Yamaha official flyscreen, Akrapovic titanium system and R&G tail-tidy (aka fender eleminator) for my '18 MT-07. Understated mods, just gives the bike cleaner lines when you look at it and sounds much better.

[@KITTYKONGMEOW]

Beautiful bike I have one myself I crashed it last year gonna rebuild it black an gold now excited as heck

[@cristianfuentes6049]

A brouge led round headlight would look perfect on this bike

[@tomadamclarke4509]

Check the xsr900 has pretty similar, looks amazing

[@tdralle115]

Fender delete is legal in washington state, but the steep angle you have your license plate tilted COULD be considered ticket-able. of course at that point you were getting a ticket for something else anyhow lol

[@douglasgriffin1836]

Of course with the fender delete, if you run with a passenger, through a light shower, they're really going to be pissed off that their back and backside looks like someone crapped a streak diarrhea on them.

[@roger8927]

I liked the intro Bud. The quality of your vids have always been good but they keep getting better. Still, the ripping around and wheelies make me cringe but what can a dad do.

[@ShakeNBlake509]

Roger thanks dad, I’ve been working on the quality level each video. There were no wheelies in the making of this video 😂

[@averagefz0749]

ColorClusterz LCD flips looks good on it man!! Debating on switching from the protaper Carmichael bend to your bars. Thoughts?

[@DirtyHammmer]

Love the spinning chain shot with the subtle 'ShakNBlake' decal

[@Jc6fe]

Hey beautiful bike. Question that license plate bracket. Does that help cover the exposed hole right behind the tail light where the original fender was? Thanks. Been trying to find a bracket that would help cover that hole Thanks

[@mohdsyazwan8750]

I love your intro bro, keep it up

[@esp919]

Wheels look dope - any issues with powder coating?

[@MannyGotit]

A must do mod and its cheap is the R6 throttle tube.

[@obliviondio]

You know someone is a law bidding citizen when they fold their license plate under the fender

[@mjl4010]

5 mins to install the rear tidy - I call BS! Just because I just did it on my '20 MT07. Cool though man - I watched your vid about buying one and the negative spects of the bike. I'm an older guy - I already have a '17 R1200RT that I love - just wanted something smaller to tool around on - I freaking love it. I am going to learn to do short wheelies - in parking lots.

[@Maximus-kd2ij]

What a beauty shots wow best intro ever

[@ShakeNBlake509]

Thank you very much!

[@The1dceptyc]

Hello from Portugal 🇵🇹 Are the mirrors good can you see well with them ? This mood its a must have i will buy my first 07 this month they took to much time to came home ?

[@camrenelia6878]

Longest intro Ive ever seen. Dang near fell asleep, but cool shots and good drone work

[@Shadylurker85]

Ditch the k&n and pick up a hordpower intake. It's pricey but it literally transforms the bike.

[@Josh-us7yu]

Does the integrated tail lights fit the new 2022 MT07? Im going to get the TST one but i dont like the shape of it tbh. After seeing this, I would like to do this to mine 100%. Thats a sexy mt07 btw.

[@Robocoppat]

Awesome..was it expensive to powder- coat the wheels?

[@ShakeNBlake509]

It is not bad. For both wheels it was $250.

[@eelzaitmi]

You forgot the radiator guard, grips, front turn signals.

[@AustinLeeInc]

Im getting my first bike soon and want a mt 07. Why did you go from a 09 to 07?

[@half_blaked33]

Do you have a link for your front turn signals your running or have any suggestions? Also what year is your FZ?

[@ShakeNBlake509]

I thought I had them linked but maybe not. Both front and rear are from TST industries.

[@ShakeNBlake509]

2014 model

[@brettyeomans7310]

Do these bikes hold there value though?? Guy wants to trade for my banshee and I'm tore...i know banshee will just keep increasing while most bike decrease over the years. Lmk what you guys think. Thanks! Sweet video btw

[@atxplus]

The mods I would do is to take of the rear wheel and paint the cross beam of the swing arm with some rust proof paint such as black smooth hammerite. The bike is so prone to rust, even without riding in the rain. The next thing I will do is to see if I can find a 2018 mt-07 rear shock on eBay. My bike is a 2016 model with abs. Then do the front fork mod as recommended by Dave moss tuning. The bike is a el cheapo motorbike. I don't want to add things to it, as after I sell it. I would lose a whole bunch of money, if I upgraded to a akrapovic exhaust. Gilles rear combined swing arm spools, rear sets. I might as well have spent the money on an mt-09 or even the ugly KTM 790 Duke

[@MrTezzuka]

thanks for that. Cool intro well done. make sure you mod. the forks, I chopped 13mm off (I'm 73Kg) used 15W oil and I am loving the difference. Only thing is you realise how shit the std. rear shock is. My next purchase is the same rear sets you have. Thanks for the advice on the locktite :)

[@blackmedic6302]

Hey man, did you use like a sort of extension on the Fender Eliminator? Because the one on Ebay seems a lot shorter than yours?

[@ShakeNBlake509]

No I didn’t. I’m not sure what you mean by extension?

[@blackmedic6302]

@@ShakeNBlake509 It just seems the bracket on your bike starts directly from underneath your tail light as appose to the hole where the bracket fits. Maybe it's just me lol but it just seems your bracket is longer than the one in the link. Still a good vid!

[@drewdillon9004]

Where did you get your from blinkers too ?

[@alexandrelefebvre3847]

Realy nice intro!

[@taylorb4134]

Just a suggestion when it comes to stationary videos, TURN OFF AUTO FOCUS! You can hear the camera adjusting and it is so distracting from what you are saying!

[@ShakeNBlake509]

Taylor B ya I know. The autofocus is so loud on this lense...

[@T-revMoto]

Why would you tape a full system? I'm guessing it's titanium. The color clean titanium changes is beautiful.

[@codymayberry6437]

I need the bar end adapters where can I find those?

Just by the colour of it... your brake fluid is due for a change. Looks like Pepsi in the rear brake reservoir. Half filled as well...

Check out extreme creations front caliper brackets, they allow you to run 320mm rotors from the r1. Other then more leverage and better bite, the rotors look way cooler.

[@douglasgriffin1836]

You really should go sit on several bikes at a dealership because the MT-07 is rather small and you might be cramped. If it's just you on the bike maybe you should go the MT-09 route. But if you have a passenger constantly riding with you..., go with the Suzuki GSX-S1000 at $8,999 new, all day long, and twice the horsepower of the MT-07. The GSX is a heart attack machine.
