When I was looking to install some on my last bike (never did), but there were two main options. drill and tap the swing arm yourself, or there was an item that I can't remember the specific name. But you drill all the way through the swingarm, there was a threaded anchor-nut bushing that you...

So I just read your original thread. You said you're only into this bike for $400, that include what you paid for it? I'm wondering if the previous owner didn't screw something up, (like screwing up the timing on a valve adjustment) our something like that and get rid of it. Since you've had it...

Where in Fl are you? " What's the story with this bike? You said it's only started twice since you've had it, where'd you get it, and do you know what work was done on it before? I'm not sure how to enter diagnostics mode on an 04, but you can find it in the forum. You can check the sensors...

Agree with above poster. As long as you take the brackets you use and mounting width of the headlight into account the hardest thing is sorting out the wiring. The brackets I used swivel on the mount and could accommodate from about a 5-8 inch head light. It's been a while and I can't...

I push to around 30-35 into the reserve. My last fill up, I was 32 miles into f-trip, 187.5 since my last fuel up and she took 4.67 gallons. I usually don't go that far, but I like to use ethanol free gas, there used to be one by work and one by my house. The one by work closed down so if I...

My bike was sounding horrible when coasting to a stop with the clutch in, lots of vibes and sounded like the transmission was about to come apart. I usually wash and lube it every week, but it had been almost a month at this point. I hadn't had it off since i got the thing so I pulled off the...

Not sure about common issue difference between the 600 and 1k's. Buddy of mine has an 04 1k and he had the same issue with the stator ticking and it was a bolt that worked itself loose, easy fix and he said it was pretty common.

A guy I work with has a similar one. His does five flashes then steady as opposed to the 4/4 steady. He's got a gsxr1000 though and I believe his brake lights are led. His lights are all crazy though. Has no front/rear turn signals, has a separate switch that he can use to turn off his...

As far as the mirrors, I'm the opposite. I don't like the stem mirrors and prefer the bar end. I'm happy with them considering they were $10 on ebay. Was worried about vibes since they aren't weighted and there are no longer weights on the end. But they are solid, perfectly clear at every...

Re: 2005 FZ6 with 34,000 Miles Dead The path for the positive cable to ground through the start switch goes through a lot of things. Goes through the main fuse, the main switch, the ignition fuse, the start relay coil, the cut-off relay contacts, then through the start switch and to ground. Not...

This is the one I went with Emgo Black 7 8 in Drag Bar Handlebar 23 12570 | eBay, no rise at all, just a slight pull-back.

I posted some pics a few weeks back with the headlight and cluster in place but not actually installed. I have everything installed now and figured I'd post a few pics.

Sorry about that, thought didn't cross my mind.

Is not the green and white one, you're on the wrong plug. This is the best I can do with my phone.

Mine stays around 190-200 when riding when stopped in traffic it'll get up to around 214 before it starts to drop.

They're crappy, I decided not to use them. My bike had some aftermarket leds when i got it, watsens I think. I made clips to mount them onto the brackets and used them. Think i may have successfully thread jacked, so I will post more pics in the thread I started a few days ago.

Got the wiring done, only messed with the headlight and turn signal wires. Also re-did all the grounds. It was 3/8 tubing i used, not 3/4. Cleaned it up alot.

I got the stem mark lined up, as far as balancing I'm trying out some of those ceramic beads. I've read good thing, let's see if they're true.

Anybody have any tips for changing a tire? Had a gash in my rear tire and after receiving my new tire today decided to change it. It was a total pain in the ass. I'd read that breaking the bead was the hardest part, that part was simple. Getting the first side of the tire off the rim wasn't...

I bought some yesterday. Radio shack had a pack of 1" shielding, walmart had 3/4", which is what I bought. Also found a relay to use for the headlight at the shack. Hoping I can get it to fit in the headlight bucket. As far as the fz6n harness, i searched on two uk parts websites and couldn't...
