With projectors one of the main objectives is to have a nice clean beam of light and a crisp line cutoff. I didn't think painting or not painting the reflectors would affect anything other than how it looks. IMO black looks really nice with the projectors. with regard to extra spread of light -...

I went with the mini gatling gun shrouds. they look good and fit fine. I am glad I painted the reflector black. I used black satin paint made for use on plastic, one tip though scuff the surface of the shroud and reflector before you paint them - even though they say it isn't needed. use...

I did 2 sets of PR2's and loved them. got 12k and 13k miles out of them and there was plenty of tread left to spare. I thought I could step up to a better performing tire so I went with Pirelli Angel GT's. With about 5k on them I can tell you they are wearing well but I never honestly got the...

+1 on adding heat but be careful not to heat up switches or wires. Seems weird anyone would put loctite on bar ends. I have always gotten these off using the larger hex socket bit. the first time removing I noticed rust inside. I guess the rationale for loctite would be not to have to make them...

Maybe try using a pipe wrench?

I would change to the 15T first and get a feel for better acceleration than stock. the stock 16T will seem tamer and you can compare. the 17T just wasn't doing it for me. I didn't like how hard it was to launch into first. it felt like a different bike in not a good way

I've had my FZ6 7 years and ridden over 37,000 miles on it. This includes 4 long multiday trips. I have used stock 16T, 15T and 17T sprockets. Of all that riding time I would estimate using 15T and 16T about 95% of the time combined. The 17T I liked so little it came off after only a couple of...

I just didn't like it!!

I changed to 17T for a short time. didn't like it at all. Even with a speedo calibrator I couldn't get the speedo right. I had a tendency to wind out the gears to account for the taller ratio. ended up getting less gas economy

I saw news footage today of Florida governor telling people to evacuate because "the storm will kill you".

any stock headlight assembly from 2004 to 2009 model years will fit. I wish I could get replacement lenses but as far as I know these don't exist.

check out the how to guide from theretrofitsource. there is a step by step Pdf from them. I have done this twice on the same housing and did not need anything added to seal the headlight. The toughest part, arguably is finding a good way to mount the ballasts inside the fairing. Get the wiring...

Thank you Tom for the donate of the tank. I will use it for practice of painting. at some point in time I can use it as a spare. I appreciate this generous pay-it-forward offering. You've got great FZ6 Karma. Tom (FB400)

I have that exact screen and am very happy with it. paid ~$90 for it. it is a steal at this price

Still looking. color doesn't matter it just has to be S1 2004 05 or 06. I'll need one without rash, cracks, or broken tabs Thanks

Hey all - thanks all for the very helpful responses. I have had some time to think about this short sequence of events and have returned to a normal baseline. When analyzing how that sequence of events went down there wasn't anything inherently super scary about the outcome so that is good...

yes, it is true those F'ing dickweeds from NYC are all over the news.. they run rampant like ****roaches and are a problem to everyone and people are afraid of them with good reason. I am talking North Shore Long Island here. A very high per capita income and a higher level of middle class...

Hey all - quick summary of my experience leading me this far . in my 7th season, ~36,000 miles of riding experience, two 10+day trips and one shorter trip (camping 3 days) under my belt. . I commute very occasionally but since I must travel from Long Island through 2 of the 5 NYC boroughs. It's...
