So I got my first set of saddle bags on Monday. I picked up a set of Cortech Super 2.0 saddlebags and the tail bag. I've been experimenting with the tie down straps trying to find something that I am comfortable with in regards to where to place them. Seems like no matter where I place them...
I did a quick search for reviews or threads about what kinds of cameras people are using to record their rides and didn't come up with any. I'm looking into mounting a camera on my bike to record my rides and I'm curious what people are using. Obviously GoPro is a very popular brand, but which...
After comparing what's out there I decided to pull the trigger on a pair of Michelin PR4 GT's. I ended up getting them online from American Motorcycle Tire - American Motorcycle Tire. I've been calling shops for quotes to have them mounted and I actually had a shop say they wouldn't because I...
So my plans for an end of season ride to Crater lake with my father this weekend had to be cancelled thanks to the Honda that ran the stop sign and sideswiped me.:spank: I was making a left hand turn, after stopping at the stop sign, when the driver in the oncoming lane pulled a California stop...
So I'm thinking about swapping out my stock mirrors for these (LED Turn Signal Integrated Mirrors for Yamaha FZR600 YZF 600 R6 R6S R1 FZ6 FZ1 | eBay) and running them in tandem with the stock front signals. Has anyone done this? Did you run into any problems?
So I've been using a Rapid Transit Recon 23 tailbag almost daily for the last 18 months and now the bungees have exposed rubber to the point the bag is unsafe to use. I contacted Rapid Transit to see if they could either provide or sell me replacement bungees and got a short (polite) no...
So I want to start doing trips that last longer then a day and don't want to rely on motel/hotels (that gets expensive and who knows what in the desert). What are some 2 person (myself and my gear) tents people would recommend for motorcycle travel? My FZ6 does not have any hard case bags...
Hi everyone. I was riding past a dealership the other day and saw a used FZ6 for sale out front. I never pass up the opportunity to look and see what others have done to their FZ6 and get ideas for my own. That's when I noticed it had frame sliders on it that actually said "FZ6" on them. The...
So I will probably look really silly for asking this, but, are there any significant differences between a 2008 and 2009 models when it comes to aftermarket parts. I'm talking about things like lights, pegs, sliders, nothing really mechanical. I ask because I am having difficulty finding sites...
Hey everyone, just wanted to pass this on to everyone in the Oregon region that is looking to do something this weekend:
Motorcycle Mystery Ride to benefit the American Cancer Society. Sign up June 5th (Sunday) 9:00 - 10:00 AM @ Greg Coen Motor Co. 151 Main St. Springfield, OR...
So Cottage Grove is holding it's 7th annual "BikeFest" this weekend and it's sponsored by the local Yamaha shop. Anyone going this year? Anyone go in the previous years? What did you think about it?
Live in Oregon (Eugene area) and I'm wondering if anyone has any shops they would recommend (or not) and why? Doesn't have to be in Eugene itself just west of the passes.
So I purchased my 2009 FZ6 brand new from the dealership a couple of months ago and have been surfing the forums for advice and ideas. One thing I have noticed in several forums is people talking about their speedometer not being accurate. Is this an issue I should investigate further with my...
