    My New Bike - 2009 V Star 1300

    After realizing that most of my friends have cruisers and that the type of riding they liked to do was not as much fun on the FZ6 I decided to dive into their world. I have to admit that the highway riding is much more enjoyable now. I know I am going to miss some of the more aggressive twisty...

    Anyone tried ECUnleashed on the FZ6?

    I just found some posts about ECUnleashed this morning that linked me over to the FZ1 site with some really helpful info from Hellgate. I didn't find anyone that has tried this on the FZ6 as of yet. Just wondering if anyone had and their thoughts regarding the throttle response afterwards? Also...

    Belly pan brackets

    I am looking for some OEM Yamaha belly pan brackets. I have an eBay purchased belly pan and one of the brackets broke. The belly pan is a duplicate of the OEM Yamaha pan but the brackets were kind of crappy and broke from I assume vibration. Hope I can find some decently priced brackets from a...

    Belly Pan Goodness

    I bought this thing about a year and a half ago and have just been putting off doing anything with it. Got it from eBay for about 130 bucks shipped but the fiberglass was in a bit of a rough shape and the brackets needed modified. I got out to the garage today wanting to do something productive...

    db killers for scorpion cans?

    Anyone have any suggestions of where to buy a reasonably priced pair of db killers that will fit the Scorpion cans, I am having trouble finding anything?

    Bad start 2010

    We just had a meeting Tuesday and found out our company is handing off some of it admin to Administaff. I don't really care what they do up front in that respect, however there was a huge downside. Found out this also includes an insurance change which ends up costing me an ADDITIONAL $250. a...

    Buzz in on your tires... Please!

    I am soon to be buying new tires and would like to see what different people are running on our bike. I have looked at some other threads and they are helpful but I was hoping I could get you guys to just post the tire you have and give it a 1-5 rating, 5 being best on traction and wear. Would...

    A depressingly uplifting animation

    I remember watching this little animation last year and I thought some of you might enjoy it even though there is a dark aspect to it. I always tell people when they ask me why I want to risk so much just to ride, well it is as close to flying as I will ever get. I know there is always a risk...

    Post Count?

    Maybe I just need to go to bed but has anyone else had a post count decrease in the last few days? I thought I just turned 300 a few days ago but now I am at around 290. I also thought I had one more rep point earlier but I may be mistaken about that? No biggie just thought I would ask and see...

    Just posting in another thread and I commented that I figured most FZ6 enthusiasts will spend $1500 to $2000 on mods for there bikes. I thought I would poll it up and see how true that really is? I have had my bike for 6 months and am in about $400 but I still want front springs and exhaust by...

    GPS - Ram Mount - On My Mirror

    I looked though some of the threads on the site and have not found anyone who has tried this method of mounting their GPS. I wanted it to be stationary not moving with the handlebars so I figure why not give this a try, and seems to have worked. It is 75% shielded by the windscreen and the...
