a month ago as I said. after a month of sun they're brown. I have a blue set on my ninja 500 that wasn't 2 wheels and it didn't fade at all in 2 years.

I have the black levers, red adjuster and park outside my office on the street from 9-5. after 1 month they're faded and bronze.. I'd heard of it happening but was figuring if I had to replace them once a year no biggie, but for a month of life it kind of sucks. I'm rather dissapointed...

again, I doubt it's the bike or the rider that's the variable but the driving conditions.

There might not be anything wrong with your bike OR the way you ride. The issue may be peoples definition of city. I was getting 33mpg and thinking something was horribly wrong, but if I go on the highway I get high 50's. Every city is different and my family is in a 'city' 2 hours away. to...

I changed the lock tumbler on the e52 yesterday to match my side bags. I'm not sure if I put it back together correctly as it ended up falling apart the second I pulled the screws out. the black locking mechanism clip on the bottom that's activated by the red button: when the box is locked...

ya I followed that and the included instructions. good idea on not tightening things till it's in place. that sounds like one of those pieces of advice someone tells you once, and you apply to most things from then on. the original plate bracket had to come off. no choice, the bolts on...

Hey how well does the monster can work for storing fuel? That looks cost effective. Sent from my commodore 64 via tapatalk

so there really isn't any other way to install the racks. I have an 08 and the parts appear to just go on and only in one way.. I'm having real fitment issues though. I don't know if I've ever sworn at a bike that much. everything just seems 1/4 inch or a few mm too short. not by much but...

Not sure if you've made up your mind on where to live yet, looks like lots of people are recommending Alberta. I live in Toronto and I'm going to go ahead and NOT recommend toronto. it has lots of hospitals and thus lots of job options List of hospitals in Toronto - Wikipedia, the free...

I have a camal back but how does one drink out of it while riding? do you lift your visor and ride one handed? or is it a pull over sorta thing? I've only ever used it when pulled over (or hiking) or at a red light. I've been wanting to do a trip like this, maybe to halifax, justa longer...

ChevyFazer: I'm curious how do you attach the compound bow to the FZ6? I currently on my old ninja that has e21 side bags just lay it accross and strap it down in a padded case. I've been thinking about getting a plastic hard shell case though and perhaps rigging up a givi mount so I can just...

Ha! I know. That's an issue for me and for now why I try to stick to car Camping and not 3 day portage trips. I feel uneasy about leaving the bike parked in the open right off a highway in plain view. I will probably get a garmin gtu10 gps tracker but that's really only helpful for local. I...

oh you just need a sidecar.

CowtownBiomed: It's wearable as a backpack. Mongol: I usually start more north, so I park in the free parking around the humber river entrance near the old mill subway stop on Bloor, then I can paddle down to the lake. and yup, that's the humber bay bridge. humber is a pretty calm paddle that...

Don't ever tell me what I can't do !!! Thought I'd share an interesting little setup. I realize lots of people tour or camp with their bikes which involves hauling stuff on the back, but I think kayaks are still somewhat rare, and probably a surprise. When I first got a bike all my...
