Thanks. The frame sliders are OES brand. Got them off ebay.

Decided to keep it.

Ahhh, that makes sense.

It could also potentially be easier to powdercoat the FZ wheels for cheaper, and you know for sure that they fit.

X2 Would love to put a set of these on my fz.

Here's my "packing light and staying in motels" setup: Holds a couple changes of clothes and the essentials. Best part is that I can't even tell they are on the bike most times.

A biker is a biker. I wave.

I was definitely inspired by the hell in a bucket thread to go out and do this. The 10-22 is great, but it does distort people way too much. For a video, I'll have to see if my suction mount that I have is strong enough to hold the 7D, otherwise I have to wait til I can afford a HD GoPro...

It's a 7D with the 10-22mm ef-s lens. I had the camera strapped around my neck and shot this left/one handed. :D

Feel free to join in with a photo of your own...

Happy riding everyone!

1998 Yamaha FZR600 - It's been a while, but the engine was comparable. The seat is tiny and the riding position is super hunched over. Not fun to ride for any distance. 2003 Yamaha YZF600R - Very similar to the FZ6, just more plastics and adjustable front suspension. Also was carbureted. 2008...

I'm in Minneapolis. I've been hitting up the ABC roads in wisconsin lately. Otherwise I like to do the parkways around the mississippi. If anyone wants to ride locally, let me know.

I might be game for this! I'd have to ride down from the cities.
