    Raise seat

    I heard somewhere that you can raise the seat an inch or two. Not willing to get rear sets to move back, just a little taller. I'm itching for addl legroom. Mind you I'm only 5'10" but on some rides the angle of my legs start bothering me, especially on longer rides. Any thoughts would be...

    I've seen an ad for a 2011 FZ for sale with only 190 miles on it. Besides the battery what other issues could this bike have for sitting so long?

    2008 FZ6 to 2012 FZ8

    Looking for some input. I currently have a 2008 FZ6, which I like. I have been thinking of going naked. Replacing light with FZ8 style and changing out bars with FZ1. I just came across a 2012 FZ8 for sale for 6600 w/ low miles. Naturally being a newer bike, I'm leaning on the FZ8 side. Would...

    Lowering handlebars

    I just bought a 2008 FZ6 and I love the bike. First sport-bike. Last owner was a little shorter than I, maybe 5'6 and had lowered the handlebars a good 3 inches. Placement doesn't bother me, but should I be concerned on the tightening of the bolts. And also what are the benefits at diff heights...
