Did the same too ;) I just used black enamel spray. Looks great and hard wearing

Fantastic, made me laugh out loud. "Do you like smooth on road from the helmet to boot is normal." he he he he he

Like a few people here Im still on the OEM's having covered just 3000 miles in 10 weeks from new. Been touring across Europe, A and B road scratching in the UK and wet weather riding too and have to say that these days most reasonable tyres will out perform the bike anyway. When the time comes I...

Thats just friggin Bonkers. Love it love it love it :BLAA:

Like I said a bottle of Jack Daniels and posting on the forum is not a good mix ;)

Oh my god where do I start. I started riding in 1976 so might be easier to say what I have not ridden ;) I have to say though that the biggest disappointment was my 2007 Hayabusa. I bloody hated it, I know it goes totally against what every report seems to say but I found it uncomfortable, heavy...

Fitted a new Sat Nav mount and holder. Have attached a couple of pics. Its the RAM-B-149z with ARKON Waterproof Case. Comes with packing so it fits most Sat Navs and holds it really securely. It has a ball mount on both the bar section and the case mount so its pretty much infinitely variable...

Well I have to say I was a little concerned initially having only just bought the FZ6, that a 1500 mile trip in a week may have been too much. How wrong I was. Loaded with a 47 ltr Top box and soft side luggage (must have weighed a bloody ton;) ) I set off. Having fitted the Yamaha Comfort seat...

Here is a topic I posted a while ago http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/31638-fz8-why.html

I bought one and love it :cheer: Its much comfier than the standard seat. Have done 400 mile trips with no problem and am off touring France in 2 weeks knowing it will be fuel stops only and not needing to stop every hour so ease my sore rear :thumbup:

Mine is exactly the same. Disappears at 6000. Most bikes seem to have a point where they vibrate more at certain revs ;)

I use the Oxford Sports bags and they are brilliant, make no difference to pillions whatsoever ;)

I find the standard seat a bit too uncomfortable after being in the saddle for more than an hour or so. I dont have the money for a Corbin or Baglux but have seen a Genuine Yamaha Gel seat new and complete with front and rear pads for £150, that's well under half the price of the Corbin and...

Thanks for all the help guys I will go down the lead shot route as it seems to be the popular choice. Thanks for the Tyre tip Twitch, I checked it but its all Ok with pressure spot on so I have to guess that as all was well before the Renthals it must be the bars. Thanks Again Phil

Hi All Fitted a set of medium Renthals with the heaviest weight bar ends I could get. The standard bars were a bit to swept back and narrow for me, but I noticed how heavy the standard bars ends are which is why I bought the heaviest replacements I could get. The new bars are lovely and the...
