    Painting headers. Advisable?

    I have not painted the header on the FZ6 but I have tried painiting headers on a car (and exh manifolds for that matter) and never had much luck getting the finish to stay nice. I did take my header off this past weekend and clean it up with great success thanks to a mix of info from threads...

    Laguna Seca Moto GP Pix

    Ok - first of all MarinaFazer was that your red screened in tent on the hill looking out at turns 1-5? If so, I was sat directly behind you on Saturday for the Qualifying round. The race was incredible and I think it was made even more exciting by watching all of the practice sessions and...

    How to turn a bike

    I do that as well - not always but when needed. (I noticed that at the end of the vid as well, I like that it all of sudden started playing backwards...)

    LASIK Vision Correction and Motorcycling

    I had it done about 1.5 years ago and I can't believe I waited as long as I did. I have needed vision correction for as long as I can remember and I wore contacts for about 20 years. When I had it done, they said that one of the factors for getting halos (rings around light sources at...

    Need some help from guys with Frame Sliders

    I have the uncaged sliders, anodized black with black inserts. I bought them direct from Uncaged uncagedcycle.com As for structural integrity...the insert/puck uses a fair number of course threads to engage the housing, so I am pretty comfortable that they will do their job.

    Show us your picture of the best/favorite mod you have done.

    My favorite may just be the painted windscreen (too cheap to buy a smoked one...)

    Where do you park your bike

    Just parked next to the bike rack at Target last night...though it was way out of the way. My preference is either a special bike space (not many of them around here), near a bike rack, or in a very visible part of the parking lot

    Gas milage

    I seem to be in the 50MPG +/- 2 for most tanks. That is with almost all highway, and generally not a lot of room to do much more than go with the flow...

    Full Faced Helmet

    When I had a clear visor, I wore sun glasses all the time and the visor only came down at highway speed. I bought a dark smoke visor and I LOVE it, it is down all the time now and the sunglasses stay in the tank bag. At low speeds the visor is just cracked open and at higher speeds it is all...

    What Idling RPM have you set your bike at?

    I have mine set right at 1000 +/- 50rpm or so. I like the sound of the low idle speed - even if it means having to crack the throttle a little on t/o

    Winter Poll

    I ride whenever the weather and road conditions are tolerable (above freezing or close to it, minimal road salt, no chance of ice) Last winter I rode every month except January. This year I went from early December until late March without a ride. Too much snow, ice, salt, etc. oh well. I am...
