    I need about 1" up and back on my bars for better comfort. What riser set will work with the FZ6 top clamp, and has anyone had any problems with not having enough cable slack? Thanks

    My conversion took a Sunday and went great. Got ver1 kit from Vishnu. Tried uploading before and after images but that was a bust.

    Parts suppliers

    I have had pretty mixed results ordering OEM and aftermarket parts from several vendors and through dealers for my 07 FZ6 (and Kodiak ATV) Can anyone recommend a parts supplier that will consistently: 1) send the correct part as specified by me? 2) send the part in less than 30 days? 3)...

    Zamm

    I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance back in the '70s - and have just finished re-reading it after getting back on a bike.

    partially cracked frame at slider

    My used 07 FZ6 has a hairline crack just above the right side slider that does not appear to go all the way across the member. Obviously it happened when the previous owner dropped it or went down. I wonder how concerned I should be about this. My use is limited mostly to in-town and I don't...
