Re: Thinking about coming back... from a Goldwing If I were getting a new bike right now it would be the FJ09. There's nothing wrong with my 6.. have had it for almost 8 years and 38k miles of use... it is an excellent bike. The promise of better low end and torque of the 3 cylinder is a very...

for $900 that's a pretty good deal particularly since it is very low mileage and hasn't been wrecked and repaired. on most used bikes you would expect to replace tires anyway. as others have mentioned go through the bike and look for any trouble spots like the tank. I honestly don't see...

UPDATE: Full Refund. weird uneven customer service! no email or phone call just a full credit to my paypal account. I had just mailed back the switch to them this morning. I was only expecting to get a credit for the part but they paid back the shipping charge.

for sure it will work out. usually does. it's just that work is such a cluster right now.. didn't need added aggravation today. I can still ride it making sure to use the rear brake as well as the front to light the brake light.. no biggie

Scott - thanks yes that is the address they gave and told me Jeff was the manager. I never heard from them then they sent an RMA with the cost only of the part. It's really annoying but I just want to get the thing replaced and don't have time for any nonsense

I checked it several times - I think the parts schematic is just wrong. those Dicks at boats.net gave me a run around and asked me to write an email.. blah blah.. wasted an hour of my time today and still refused to refund me for the shipping. first time ever I had a problem ordering parts for...

I needed to replace the front brake switch after doing a test with a jump wire it was determined the original one is not completing the circuit when pulling the lever and actuating the switch. So I ordered and received a replacement from boats.net. I ordered off of the right parts schematic...

HID's are the best mod I did to my bike. I went the same way with having a spare housing and doing the retrofit on it before removing the old headlight. I have never had an issue with hot start though and I run HID's in my car also. it is a pretty easy project for the seasoned but take your...

I went with TRS with the promise of better quality. the V5 mini H1 projectors high beams failed within a little over a year. total junk if you ask me. I had to convince a supervisor there to replace them under the 2 year warranty. I was expecting better. so the the V6 has been good.. until they...

+1 on the Ebay Larry fender eliminator. I have used one for 7 years.

Is anyone interested? I will hold for another week then it will discarded if no one wants it. I only need fair shipping cost from 07632 zip code Thanks Tom

Happy Birthday Skooter - I hope you have had a great birthday!!

after reading your story I was getting ready for an unhappy ending. glad it worked out. the Fz1 seems like a natural progression from the 6. peace out. now you just have to wait several months for warm weather and tax season to be over

this would be nice to have. cost is approx $60 although probably worth it if you have to use it once or twice. I carry CO2 cartridges now and only used that once. one cartridge puts only a minimal amount of air in the tire but it did get me home 2 miles the day I used it.

up for grabs here is an airbox cover with the mod done to it. Got from someone on this forum 5+ years ago. the cutout is so neat it hardly looks like a modification at all Then I gave it to my good buddy S.D Willie who mounted a stebel air compressor inside the airbox (haha... yeah he did...

I would just get it and put it in the garage and not ask for permission. My wife would eventually find out about it but probably would be cool about it anyway. for the amount of repairs it needs that doesn't sound terribly costly as your labor and learning is free. yeah you have to balance your...

zixaq - I have looked for replacement lenses for the headlight but have never been able to find anything. a used headlight assembly in good condition will go for 75 to 150. I have bought one off this forum when I did an HID retrofit. If you have plans to go naked with the bike you would replace...

I like the look of the fairing as yamaha intended it. to me when I see an Fz6 naked it screams of crash victim and lack of funds to repair. just my .02 and only my opinion. probably not a popular one

thinking it over for possible Friday the 9th. I don't like these shows on the weekend.. too crowded

most of the time you have to bake @265 degrees farenheit for 7 minutes to loosen the glue holding the lens on. Unless the streetfighter is any different which I highly doubt, this is how you would remove the lens.
