    FZ6 Windscreen Poll

    Got a stock screen. It's much better than the touring screen, but not perfect. I think it'll be good enough... although if I get to my takeoff point and my ears are ringing, I might have a friend cut it down a bit.

    Oil filters that will fit

    Just got a new-to-me FZ6 that's due for an oil change. Was at the dealer anyway, so got a Yamaha filter. Got the filter home, looked at it, and thought, "Huh.

    FZ6 Windscreen Poll
