    Calling all PNW owners

    Been trolling the forum for 9 years (how long I've owned my bike too!). Still have my 2005 FZ6 going on 75,000 Miles. Haven't ridden quite as much in the last 5 years. First track day last year (Was totally awesome). Messed my wrist up earlier this year on a quad so didnt ride for most of...

    Seat recommendations...

    https://www.richscustomseats.com/ Got mine over 6 years ago. Took 8 hours from start to finish and probably only good for those of us in the PNW... but he told me he had people come from, all over the USA. So many options for the cover material, I went from being able to sit on my bike for a...

    Tank Protector Question

    Here are my 2 cents... I bought the only one I could find on Amazon. It was nice looking and had the FZ6 logo on it. Problem was, the adhesive was total and complete crap. It started falling off within a week. I then went with an easi-grip pad that I do not regret at all.

    Stock seat. Does it hurt you too?

    :bow: to those of you out there that can handle the stock seat for more than 45 min... Because :spank: is what it feels like for the rest of us. lol When I started commuting on my bike (1.25 - 2 hours) I decided it was time to get a good seat. Lucky for me (and any of the greater...

    Battery saver for dual headlight setups

    520 conversion?

    First chain and sprocket kit I put on was a 520 conversion, vortex aluminum rear sprocket ( +1 tooth ) with steel front sprocket and an RK x-ring chain. Rear sprocket died after about 8k miles (aluminum much?), and chain died after about 15k. After that set I went back to the 530 steel OEM...
