Keep the FZ and get a track bike. I'm thinking about doing the same, but I need to come up with some $$$ first!

I have had almost zero chicken strips on the rear for both of my last two sets of tires and have never dragged any parts...

Are you calling me fat?

I am searching and reading on sag now, but I am at work so can't watch the videos on how to set the sage I found in another thread. I weigh 180lb, and have not adjusted the sag from stock. Where can I find a guide that tells you what it should be set to based on your weight?
