    Your favorite mod?

    Easy one for me: #1) Oxford Heated Grips (cold winter days, or cool summer mornings/nights) Best mod by far. #2) Corbin Seat Comfort over performance any day.

    Moto Pak GTS-60 mounting

    I am going to try and make a bracket for them this weekend. I will post pics. When I strap them up, I either put them over the rails and seat, or I put them under the seat and under the rails (if I have a passenger). I usually let the rear of the bags push against the turn signals a little so...

    Quick Tire Poll

    1st set of Bridgestone BT-020: 13,000 km 2nd set of Bridgestone BT-021: 35,000 km Am I going to buy the 021's again? You bet! I've used them in heavy rain, gravel, lots of 2UP riding, and below zero temps with great success. IMHO, the best moto tire out there, especially for the price.

    Heated Grips - Oxford Heaterz

    I have the same ones, except mine has the dial controller instead of the electronic one. My first dial stopped working after the first year (heavy rain or snow messed up electronics), but my second one is going strong. If this one goes, I will just install an on/off switch. That's all you need...

    luggage questions

    I would start with soft side bags. These give you just as much storage as some popular hard cases, but you can adjust them (either front or back) to suit your rider's legs and feet. This is what I have for now and it works just fine. A lot cheaper than a hardcase setup, and you can always resell...

    Average height of a FZ6 rider

    6'1" as well. I don't feel too big on it, although, I am looking to upgrade to a bigger bike someday.

    2005 fz6

    My '05 has always had a clunky "neutral to first" shift. Other gears are ok, definitely sot super smooth. Bought the bike with 20,000k and now at 55,000.

    Motopak Luggage now on sale

    I will try and do it tonight. It's a rickety system though. Not super strong. There are a few members (possibly past) that have made some nice ones. I didn't get a chance to tour much this summer, so I haven't put the bracket together. Either way, I'll see what I can do!

    Corbin seat w/ backrest

    I'd be interested in buying just the seat, no backrest (i have a topcase). I live in Canada, and would be interested in paying a reasonable shipping rate.

    Motopak Luggage now on sale

    Great to hear! These are mine on my bike 3 years ago. I have since made a homemade bracket to keep them from their slight sag. Enjoy!

    Corbin seat w/ backrest

    Just out of curiosity, why are you selling a virtually brand new corbin? Not comfy enough? Just curious, as I am interested in getting a corbin, or the likes.

    Bill Mayer custom seat for sale - FZ6

    Nice looking seat! Too bad I have moded my stock seat about 5 times already, or I'd take it! Good luck with the sale.

    2 mods

    Yeah, a regular auto store. They are more like door edge protectors. Cost $5 for two pieces. Had the colour options of clear, black or chrome.

    2 mods

    Two simple, DIY mods. 1) Cut the stock windscreen down a few inches. Added some automotive door trim to finish it off. Wind in the neck is now gone. 2) I ride in the rain, so getting an FE kit was out. I decided, instead, to show more rear rubber by cutting off the bottom tip of the stock...
