What a shame! I guess if you live in a apartment or condo (do they call them flats in Denmark?) then you have no place to store your bike when not riding. If it were me I'd store my bike right in the living room!

Was going through my old threads and somehow completely missed this! Thanks FI! Makes sense. My chain wear pattern matches the second picture you posted !:thumbup:

haha. I appreciate the offer but I've already got all the parts for the fork job. I'll be painting on a 50 degree day and letting them dry in my basement with the woodstove.

Ok, I meant no harm or disrespect. A "cowling" is not a "fairing". It is a component of a complete fairing. I'm sure there are potential buyers who were also in the dark like me who would appreciate the additional information you just provided on this part in response to my comments. When I...

I'm in the middle of changing my fork oil and seals on my 2006 and want to paint the forks black. I'm going to try plasti-dip since I am not 100% sure I will like them black. Has anyone used plasti-dip on forks?

Thanks for the tips! I'll be considering all options for driving in the new seals. this is why I am doing this in the middle of winter. I wasn't going to ride again till Early March most likely. February weather sucks here.

I own a home too. I pay property taxes on my home, my 3 cages and 2 motorcycles every year. If you own say $30,000 of assessed market value of personal vehicles you would be looking to pay about $800/year on personally property tax if you lived here in VA. That said our sales tax is only...

A tax based on miles driven proponents were arguing that people who drive more and therefor pollute more and use the roads more should have to pay more road tax. The BS of this is what about people who have long commutes because they can't afford to live near the metro they work in? It will...

Sorry, my Camera only records in full 1080p HD. :rolleyes:

The USA isn't far behind on the socialist failing experiment! The State of California was considering taxing motor vehicle users based on the miles driven per year. :rolleyes::spank:

#12: Remove the Damper Assembly from the forks: First you will want to find a solid wooden stake with a width of about 1 inch. A pointed stake like this worked great for me! You will push the stake into the fork until it contacts the damper assy. inside. Pressing the stake firmly into...

Steering head bearings moved to new thread! SCROLL DOWN FOR STEP #12 OF FORK OIL REPLACEMENT

#9: Support the exhaust headers of the bike using a small jack and block of wood or a cinder block and a piece of wood the right thickness to support. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL and set aside. #10: Carefully loosen the fork end cap that you previously broke free while still in the clamps. If...

04-09 FZ6 FORK OIL and seal replacement - With Steering Head Bearing Swap! We had a need for a FZ6 specific write-up on the front fork seal and oil replacement and I have until the end of February to get this done so may as well start now! This job gets you so close to the Steering Head...

No. It's because the Communist Wealth of VA has an ANNUAL PROPERTY TAX on every car, truck, trailer, motorcycle, ATV, RV, Camper, boat, etc that you own! They use NADA value and we pay somewhere between 2-2.5% of the assessed value every December in taxes. As a result we have nice roads and...

That's not really a fairing, it's just the inner plastic liner. The fairing would have to include the outer plastics and steel mounting brackets.

Good find but see what I mean about a lack of pictures on the fork oil change? I plan to post over 30 pictures of the process! :thumbup:

I don't doubt that. I have family in PA and the roads in PA in the winter are 100X worse than they are in VA! They resurface roads down here more frequently and the promptly patch pot holes caused by snow plows if we get enough snow to warrant plowing. So far this winter we've only had 3" of...
