Metric Maniacs is pleased to announce that we are now a dealer for ABS Fairings products!

About ABS Fairings…

ABS Fairings bodywork is made from Japan imported 100% virgin ABS plastic. It’s injected into an exact spec mold. So all parts are made with precise specifications to allow for precision fitment. The thickness, weight, and durability are comparable to OEM while only costing a fraction of dealer pricing. Many other sellers use a cheap PVC mix in their fairings and the paintwork is less than impressive. ABS Fairings uses Fortune two-part paint with a flex-agent additive. Decals are then applied. Next, they carefully apply 2-3 generous clear coats to ensure adequate protection and a brilliant shine (one thin layer on matte paint). Finally, they use a UV light drying process.

Metric Maniacs is pleased to announce that we carry the full line of Cock’s Stunt Parts .

Based in Leitchfield, Kentucky, Cock’s Stunt Parts offers a full line of cages, subframes, top triples, adjustable clip-ons, and many other parts designed for riders, by riders.

Please contact us for any further information or to order your stunt parts. We’ll be working to add the full list of Cock’s parts to our online store.

We’re very excited to announce that Metric Maniacs is headed to Austin in April, 2020 for the MotoGP, Moto2, and MotoAmerica race weekend at Circuit of the Americas. With “Flex Pass” access, we’ll be taking in the action from several different vantage points throughout the weekend and sharing exclusive content of our trip. Who knows, maybe we’ll get to rub elbows with some of the best in the business.

We’ll be sharing more details as the event gets closer (85 days, as of today…but who’s counting?), so follow us and watch for live updates from Austin on our Facebook page and Youtube channel !

If you haven’t had the opportunity to take a motorcycle ride in Maine during late fall, you’re missing out. In mid-to-late October, things just come together in a way that’s perfect for riders.

First, the traffic dies down. The vacationers have gone home. The leaf peepers have seen the leaves and are mostly off the roads. The temperatures are still decent…likely 50-to-60 degrees in the sun. The roads are mostly clean of debris, although you do have to be careful of some leaves in the roadway. With some leaves down and many colorful ones still on the trees, the views and scenery are arguably the best of the year.

Metrics, Inc. is pleased to announce that we are now a dealer for all Bazzaz fuel-management and related products.

Since 2003, after helping Matt Mladin claim his 3rd AMA Superbike championship, Bazzaz has offered state-of-the-art, race-level technology to motorcycle racers and enthusiasts around the world.

Metrics is pleased to help bring that technology to our customers. Whether you’re looking for fuel controllers, quick shifters, traction control modules, or other performance products, your search should start with Bazzaz and Metrics!

It may not seem like much at the moment, but we’ve got big plans for this old relic. Welcome to the next project here at Metrics.

The only good things about this bike are that we have all the plastics, the seats are in great shape, and it hasn’t been in a wreck.

What are the plans, you ask? Well, we’ve got a ‘98 ZX7R engine, front end, and rear swingarm from another project. We’re going for a sleeper resto-mod.

We’re beyond excited to announce that Metrics is now an authorized dealer for Brentuning , a recognized leader in custom tuning and performance. We have full access to the entire suite of products from Brentuning, including handheld tuners, performance parts (engine, suspension, exhaust, wheels), and more!

Ready to make that sportbike live its best (aka, fastest) life? Let Metrics help you with your Brentuning products and service.

As much as we’ve enjoyed having her around, project Top Gun is now on the way to her new home. It was a pleasure getting to work on and ride such a legendary machine, but now it’s on the next adventure.

We wish the new owner years of enjoyment and, when the time comes, a nice payday.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve recently been accepted as a dealer for A.P.E. race parts ! While A.P.E. offers performance parts for many types of vehicles, we’re focused on late-model sportbikes. Everything you’ll need to make your fast machine faster is now available through Metric Maniacs.

We’ll be working hard to get the full line of A.P.E. products added to our online store, but in the meantime just contact us with any of your go-fast parts needs.

So, if you’ve been following our updates , you’ve heard about project Top Gun , a near-mint condition 1985 Kawasaki GPz900R. We’ve done some maintenance and replacement of wear items to get it ready to ride. It’s time to send it to a new owner. You can view the details here .

It’s been a few weeks since (“Top Gun”)[https://www.metricmaniacs.com/2019/04/21/top-gun-the-next-metrics-project/] arrived. This near-mint ‘85 Kawasaki GPz 900 could be considered a barn find. It had been stored for around 7-8 years and needed some TLC to get running and road worthy again.

Luckily, we found her and have been giving her the attention she needs and deserves. We pulled the tank and cleaned out all the dirt and light rust that had developed. Overall the tank looks great. We pulled the carburetors, cleaned, and rebuilt them. Surprisingly, the carb boots, which on old bikes can get brittle and hard to work with, were in good shape.

Getting ready to send this one back home…a custom 2007 Kawasaki ZX-14R that was sitting for two-plus years. We did a full service on it, replaced the battery, drained and refilled the gas tank, and replaced the rear brake pads. She’s ready to roll!

“Talk to me Goose!”

Grab your aviator glasses and your bomber jacket! The next project to hit Metrics is a legit legend. The fastest production bike the year it came out and immortalized in the movie “Top Gun” starring Tom Cruise, the 1985 Kawasaki GPz900 is famous.

Or, as The Iceman says, “you mean ’notorious’.”

We have to admit, “Top Gun” is a great movie and the GPz900 was a perfect choice, but there’s one glaring faux pas that still grinds our gears to this day. Mav would look a lot cooler without the tie-down straps making an appearance in this shot…
