    Speedometer Bracket Group Interest.

    Unfortunately, those of us with the '04-06 models have a different speedometer with different mounting points. I don't suppose you have any plans to include that group in this? If so, you'd open yourself up to a lot more business. I've got a home made bracket that works, but it would be...

    Ranting about sprockets

    You might want to check that. If, in fact, your rear sprocket is stock, then it's steel. AFAIK, the FZ6 NEVER came with aluminum sprockets. As far as why you would want steel sprockets, it's because they wear out much slower than aluminum sprockets.

    We need to update our facebook group

    Oddly enough, I missed that there's a Facebook group for FZ6-Forum! How in the heck did I miss that??? I guess I need to get added, huh? LOL.

    Mods complete!

    Looks great! :thumbup: And I really like that matte black front fender. Now, time to get a fender eliminator and complete the look. :D

    Something different...Valter Moto Type 2 rearsets...in blue

    They do make them in red, actually. The friend I mentioned that put these on his Ducati actually has the red ones. In fact, here are the pictures he posted on our local board: Valtermoto. They aren't cheap. But I think they're worth it. They're about $345 from PJ's Parts. Valter...

    Something different...Valter Moto Type 2 rearsets...in blue

    Stock rearsets with OSO2K setback plates: Valter Moto rearsets: Brake side with OSO2K setback plates: Valter Moto rearsets: From above: I'm very happy with these! The position is similar to the stock rearsets WITH the setback plates. They do have folding...

    Something different...Valter Moto Type 2 rearsets...in blue

    As some of you have probably noticed (if you've been here a while), I've got a tendency to sprinkle my bike with blue bits. Being the huge UK fan (that's University of Kentucky for all our friend across the pond :D), I'm predisposed to loving that color. As I've stated before, I live close...

    The Day of Tears

    OMG! :eek: Seriously...I'm gonna comment on this further later once I cool down. I'm way too enraged right now after seeing those pictures and I may say something I'll regret (or at least the mods will look down on). I will say this...I feel for you, your dad, and fiance. That's gotta...

    Sat morning photos

    Great shots! I need to get one of my photographer friends to do something like this sometime. And I love the "jet intake" stickers on the bellypan, ala Boneman. That's a very cool touch! :thumbup:

    ts seat prices

    Oh, I thought about that too! :thumbup: And you're right, the shipping across the pond is high...but aftermarket seats are HEAVY, so I understand why. Still, though, the price of the seat is great!

    ts seat prices

    I just took a look at their bargain seats, and the one with the red stitching is now 186 Euro. That equates to $261 (as of right now)! If anyone has a black or red bike and ever thought about buying one of these seats, this might be the time. :thumbup: *edit* They also have one with the...

    FZ8 vs Street Triple R

    Thanks for clearing that up, The Dude. I thought maybe I was just missing something in the article, but what you said makes much more sense. :thumbup: Great article, BTW. I ride with a friend that has a Street Triple R and she's over the moon about that bike. I haven't had a chance to...

    FZ8 vs Street Triple R

    Actually, if this article is correct, the FZ8 actually has FEWER ponies than the FZ6...SHOCKING! If I'm not mistaken, the US version of the FZ6 has 98 bhp, correct? That would mean the FZ8 is ~18 bhp less than the FZ6??? Love the looks, but no thank you. And I've actually gotten to sit on...

    Status of rear "running lights" on FZ6?

    I'll have to do that, Townsend. Silly of me to not think to give that a shot before just ordering two new ones...lol. Thanks for the advice (and the self-imposed head slap "Gibbs-style"). :rockon:

    Status of rear "running lights" on FZ6?

    If you get the type Townsend and I have, yes...they're auxiliary brake lights. But they also have running lights that don't have the brake light function. Hyperlites Flashing led motorcycle brake lights, runing lights, and turn signals

    Le Tour de France - anyone into it?

    Fair points, and like Erci said, you're entitled to your opinion. I admit, I'm hoping it never comes out that he did dope. I look up to him way too much for that and it would devastate me. As far as cyclist go, we've got a big time campaign here in Kentucky (and it may be the same in other...

    Status of rear "running lights" on FZ6?

    FYI, any rear-facing running lights should be red ONLY. I've seen quite a few cruisers with their amber turn signals modded to act as running lights, but in most states, that's against the law. You can also get something like HyperLites. I've got a set that are brake-only and those things...

    Le Tour de France - anyone into it?

    I was wondering how long it would take for Lance's name to be dragged through the mud...9 posts...congratulations. Got some proof for that accusation, or are you just listening to the other (jealous) riders that could never catch him? By all accounts, Lance Armstrong is a wonderful person...

    Contractor Bent My Bars

    While this may be true for the stock FZ6 bars, I've trailered my bike to the Gap 3 times...once while I had the FZ1 bars and twice with the Suburban Machinery bars...all 3 times using the bar-end Canyon Carvers and never had a problem. Of course, the SM bars are made of stainless steel and...
