Hi all. For those that have done a HID conversion for the low beam I was wondering what you used as a spacer for holding the new bulb in place? Thanks Danny

No, I am not looking at getting rid of the FZ6 but when I got my FZ6 dyno tuned a few days ago, +3.3hp and an extra 4mpg. The guy who ran the dyno does it as a side business and works at a Harley shop. While talking the opportunity came up to test drive the Buell the next day. Wow, what a bike...

I recently got my second. My family crest on left shoulder and Canadian Flag on right bicep. If I get a new tat for every big bike trip I go on...

I wanted to do the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Tail of the Dragon. I ordered a set of Mad Maps and connected a bunch of the routes for the way down and then doing BRP on the way back north. From Amherst, Nova Scotia and back to Amherst I plan to be on the road for 12 days which means I have to do...

Here are some pics of my preparations for my upcoming trip in June. So if anyone sees a rider looking like they got too close to radiation, give a wave cause it is probably me:)

Some of the night pictures look really bad. At least there was no ammunition boat involved.

I have the same setup now. The only problem is watching the weight limits, the cases can hold so much more.

here is the thread that I was talking about. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-technical/5436-iridium-plugs-installed.html

I painted mine black as well, I love the look.

I just installed iridiums on mine and left the gap alone. I read somewhere that you are not supposed to adjust the gap on iridium plugs because you can damage the electrode. There is another post here talking about iridium plugs you may find it doing a search that will answer your question better.

At the end of last year I had my tank completely full and then lifted it to remove the battery. There was more than a couple drops came out of the breather hoses and since I was in a garage with a wood stove going and people smoking the puddle of gas was not cool.

I am going to be down that way from June 12-16 so looks like I am a couple weeks after your going. Thanks bmccrary for that list. My plan is to do roads beside the Blue Ridge while going south so that I hit the tail of the dragon on a weekday and then Blue Ridge all the way back north.

I used this method today but it took a bit longer then 20 minutes. I also took out the top and bottom radiator bolts and unhooked the plastic connector holding the rad house by the coolant reservoir (07+) to get a bit more room.

I ordered a set of these, Graves Motorsports - Graves Motorsports Smog Block Off Plates Yamaha R1 (04-09) R6 (03-09) R6S (06-09) FZ1 (All) Kawasaki ZX6RR (03-08) ZX10R, ZX14R (ALL). They don't specify that they fit a FZ6 however an '04 R6 and FZ6 have identical part numbers for the cap. I'll let...

It is amazing when looking at magazines or bikes online, how many fall into the "second bike" category.
