    Corbin Seat?

    I have had my corbin for close to 6 months now. I love it. I find it actually keeps me from sliding into the tank like the OEM seat did. And, my butt doesn't hurt after a day of riding :)

    PVC pipe on footpegs, Warning!

    My pipes run all the way up to the hand-holds. I then tie them to the hand-holds using those velcro straps you buy to put on extension cords, etc. Very secure and absolutely no leveraging on the brackets.

    Do after market exhaust help with being seen

    Take an ambulance as an example..... as they are coming up on you from behind, you hear them and move over (their siren is sounding forward). However, if you stop and think about it, as they pass you and continue moving away from you, the sound gets significantly softer immediately and dies...

    Do after market exhaust help with being seen

    It is all about the Doppler effect- Doppler effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As can be seen by the animations and is explained in the article, the amount of sound received by people in front of the bike is a lot less than the amount received by those next to or behind. So in effect...

    Police clocking the FZ6? Is it harder?

    "As for the OP, I was wondering where he lived that he could ride 80-90 seemingly all the time and think that it's acceptable. " I'm not the OP, but I live outside Huntsville, AL. On the morning drive in on I565, if you aren't doing 80+, you are likely to a) get run over and left as a greasy...

    New Cycle Case luggage setup

    Thought I would share my new luggage setup. The DW and I are heading from Huntsville, AL to Helen, GA in July and I needed somewhere to pack some clothes for the trip. I hate wearing a backpack when I ride, so picked up the Cycle Case saddlebags and tail bag. First impression upon...

    Yamaha Comfort Seat, Wow!

    I got the Corbin seat last fall and love it. I don't slide forward like I did with the stock seat and I can ride for hours without the pain I had from the stock seat. I like mine so much I ordered my wife one for her Rebel last week. Well worth the money!

    To Female Riders:

    I love it when my wife goes for rides with me. She rode pillion on my FZ6 a couple of times, got jealous when I went out with our friends (wives ride) and decided to take the MSF BRC. She hasn't been back on mine since and rides her Honda Rebel 250 as often as she can. We look for...

    Brake adjustment on Honda Rebel

    Good afternoon! I purchased my wife a 2008 Honda Rebel Friday. Got it home and realized she could barely get a finger tip on the brake lever. She has very small hands (her fingertips reach my first knuckle up from the palm). I have searched the Honda Rebel forums and Googled the heck out...

    Has your bike ever hit the ground?

    Yep, less than 24 hours after getting it home. Went for a 2-hour "training" ride with some friends with no incidents. Get back to the house and start to put it in the garage. Son comes running out of the garage and distracts me. Hit the front brake with the front tire turned slightly to the...
