    Thoughts from an FZ-6 fanatic whose bike is in trouble

    Sweet deal on a FZ1 in Mass... 2009 Yamaha Fz1 - Page 2 - Band Of Riders But honestly, don't limit yourself to just Yamahas, there's plenty of great bikes out there, get what you want.

    Seat Options?

    You sure? I'm pretty sure for a 1-piece seat, it's 250 for a riders seat only, or 375 for both. For 500+, you're at Russell prices

    Going work with a suit dressed...

    Used Aerostich suits sell for ~250-600 USD on ADVrider all the time, and could very well be the last piece of riding apparel you need to buy for the next 10-20 years. Teiz Motorsports also makes good quality one-piece over suits. Teizms.com Olympia, Scorpion, Joe Rocket, Tourmaster, also make...

    Seat Options?

    Click search button, type "seat", click "titles only". You'll find a million threads. I just bought a Terry Adcox custom seat and it is great (you'll find my thread when you search)

    Going work with a suit dressed...

    I have a few textile one-piece over suits, an aerostich and two Olympias. Once you try a onesie oversuit, you'll never go back to two-piece gear. At least that was my case. Fold/roll up your suit jacket nicely and bring it to work in your top case along with your lunch. When you get to work, you...

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

    Great shape, no signs of being down, leather is very soft and perforated. Jacket has armor in the shoulders and elbows/forearms, a better back pad than most, and a zip-in vest liner. Pants have knee armor, hip padding, velcro for sliders, and a 360 zipper to connect to the jacket. Size US 46...

    Dual headlights

    It does not. Check the wiring diagram. It functions the EXACT SAME way and connects to the EXACT SAME wire.

    Dual headlights

    It sure does turn off the low beam when high is activated. It's not tapping the left side at all. Check the wiring diagram. The left side low beam does not go through the high/low switch at all, as it is constantly on. Stock, all the high/low switch does is turn the high on and off. But it is a...

    Dual headlights

    First, ask yourself, why do you want the dual headlights? If it's to avoid the "hey you've got a headlight out!" comments, or for symmetry looks, then go ahead. For extra light on the road, it's maybe 10-20% more usable light, definitely nowhere near twice the light, because the reflector is...

    Best cell phone mount you've used or know of?

    Need an advice

    http://www.600riders.com/forum/sell-your-bike-car-truck/56781-2008-yamaha-fz-6-4-300-connecticut.html The $150 comes from ~$120 to buy a Pirelli Angel GT, bringing the new tire and the old tire/wheel assembly to a shop, and them charging >$30 to dismount/mount/balance/disposal.

    Need an advice

    Friend of mine has a clean 2008 with 15k miles, brand new tires, aftermarket exhaust, and topcase in Southern CT for sale, it's posted in the for sale section here. 6k on a front tire isnt abnormal, even still, the OEM tire is still 8 years old, so I would replace it anyways (at least $150...

    FZ6 seating position

    I sit very close to the tank for more of an upright riding position. Unfortunately, this position isn't good for longer distances, since the seat is narrow up front. So I had a custom seat made...

    R6 / R6S forks

    So I finally got my R6 forks installed, and I have parts left over for another full set. (Long story short, I had some bad luck buying forks online). The parts I have for sale I know are good, I'm a mechanical engineer and checked the inner tubes on V-blocks with an indicator in my works...

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

    I don't feel cramped, but I've got short legs (29-30" inseam) and I come from sportier bikes. When sitting back in the seat I feel too much of a stretch to the bars and the pegs. The first post shows my leg position. It works for me, finally. Like I mentioned, he builds the seats out of the...

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

    His usual pricing for a one-piece rider/passenger combo "banana seat" like the FZ6: A "double bucket" (rider and passengers both modified) the cost is $375+$25 shipping. A "single bucket" with only the rider's area modified and the passengers portion recovered to match, would be $250+$25...
