    Going from the Yamaha FZ6 Fazer to Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT

    I have the givi top and side case racks as well, it's only 5 mins or so to remove them, 2 bolts on the supports around the exhaust, 2 bolts underneath the passenger grab handles, and 2 nuts at the passenger foot pegs - the whole thing comes off as basically one unit.

    Terry Adcox Seat - Terry's Custom Seats, with stock, Corbin, Shad comparison pictures

    Little update. We got a warm day a couple weeks ago and did my first 2-up ride, wasn't anything crazy, just about an hour ride to brunch and then back. Usually that's about how long it takes for my wife to start getting uncomfortable. Got home, parked the bike, asked her how her butt felt on the...

    Corbin Seat? Different years fit?

    It will fit yours. I had a Corbin on my 07, I let a friend with a 05 borrow it for a long trip.

    2004 FZ6-complete bike with frame damage. Great for part out / project $1000 (NYC)

    If you search on here, there's a thread where someone took the side of the frame off, had it welded, and re-installed it. It was a relatively easy job, disassembling the frame with the bike together. But if you don't have a garage, might just be better off selling it as a whole to a member...

    PR4s after 20400 km

    Two factors that can contribute to uneven side-to-side tire wear: 1. Roads are typically "crowned" to help with drainage. This means that the center line is the high point, and it slopes down towards the curbs. So for a rider on the right side of the road (USA), being on a "flat" section of road...

    Built a flashing brake light, would like suggestions

    I'm also a LED circuit tinkerer. I've tried a handful of brake light modulators. My favorite flash pattern is the superbrightleds FL2S-10A module. Flashes 20x in 2 seconds, then constant on. It doesn't have the 4 second interval to annoy drivers behind me while stopped. If I'm stopped at a light...

    Doing 2003 R6 fork seal and oil change, cannot get dampening assembly out.

    Hold the lower tubes in a vise by the caliper mount tabs, not the round portion. Use an impact wrench and it will spin the bottom bolt right out. I cut the short L end of a 10mm Allen key, then use a 10mm socket with the remainder.

    Handlebar risers?

    I've used Tusk 30mm rise ones (~$20 on eBay), https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/1316/25849/Tusk-Handlebar-Risers and a set of SW-motech up&back risers (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FVBGA1Q/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_263_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=H2RKC5MQBT082403DWKT) And no problems with the stock...

    Best way to extend wires for rear turn signals?

    A drill would be cleanest, but you could also cut small holes with an exacto knife or similar. Or hold a nail with a pair of pliers, heat it up with a torch, and melt a hole through the plastic. Or just ride to a friend's house and borrow his drill for 30 seconds. Underneath the left side...

    Best way to extend wires for rear turn signals?

    I'm pretty sure I didn't extend mine, just went outside to take some pics. I drilled two holes just underneath the reflector, above the license plate. (In the center I have another hole for a brake light mounted on my license plate. You'll have to unclip the connections, route them through the...

    brake light voltage?

    Quickly read through that how-to. For any Phillips head screws on the bike, use the Phillips screwdriver that came in the underseat tool kit, as it is a JIS screwdriver. Get all the bolts started with a couple turns, get everything lined up first, then tighten them down.

    brake light voltage?

    older givi cases used incandescent bulbs. If they are incandescent bulbs, they could be dead, you can test them connecting to a 12v battery. Incandescents will light up either one being positive and negative. If it's a newer case with LED's, then try it both directions, LED's won't work if the...

    Going work with a suit dressed...

    I have one of these, and an aerostich, (and an Olympia Odyssey, and my wife has a Teiz Lombard) The Olmpia Avenger is a very lightweight summer suit, as it's mostly mesh and flows air very well. It definitely is nowhere near as protective as an Aerostich, I only wear it when it's above 85-90...

    Fieldsheer 2-piece leathers, jacket & pants, size US 46

    Bump, $250 shipped. Jacket is a size 46, that's pretty accurate for a chest measurement. Pants are a size 36, that's a pretty accurate waist measurement as well. Pants actual inseam is about 31.5".
