Multiple bikes for multiple purposes. This bike is a streetfighter now and I feel like a hooligan on it. Last season I rode a stock 05 FZ6 on all of my long distance rides. I now also have a Vstrom 650 which will probably take over for my long distance FZ6.
Mike Thai you have a PM.... Yes I...
And the stickers on my swing arm, but I don't wanna be illegal now. It's like ripping the tags off of your pillow. They can haul you away for that............:eek: :rof:
I don't have a clip of my bike but here is the link to HR's R6s video.
Hard Rock Exhaust
I think it's a little loud...
I shortened the subframe and cut the seat. Then I shortened the lower tube and welded it into the top tube to get rid of more excess metal.
The seat still isn't done yet. I would like to reshape the pan so it flows more with the tank and subframe. Also clean up the rear of the seat so it...
I used Doc_Simples stock seat while he used my comfort seat. I will say that his stock 07 seat has alot more cushion to it than either my 05 or 06 stock seats. I'm thinking that the foam in the stock seats breaks down or compresses alot with age.
I find myself moving the comfort seat to which...
It fits fine on my 05 and 06.
As far as whether it's better than stock? I think it's alot better than stock. When I sit on my stock seat after the gel seat it feels like I'm sitting on carboard with a little piece of foam on top.
Although I only here good stuff about the Corbin seats I have...
I'm fast like that :Flip: I didn't pay full asking price though.
There are brand new ones on Ebay right now for $279 or best offer. That means you can probably get it for close to $250 or less. They just aren't allowed to advertise that low of a price.
So if you were willing to pay the $265...
Well, you can wait for these to get to me in the mail, install it, drive it enough to form an opinion and then write about it here....
OR... you can type "Sprocket" into the search function and read a whole lot of opinions about it right now...... :thumbup:
Yes, this is on my naked bike. Looks like I get to try and get the housing apart or by a different kind of guage. The backlight doesn't come on at all now.
My 06 speedo backlight is no longer illuminating. I'm having a hard time figuring out where it gets it's power from. I think it's just a loose wire because when I first noticed it I was under hard acceleration and the backlight was kind of flickering like the connection was vibrating. I haven't...
You say you're going to be up here in PDX for several months. I'm assuming that means you'll be riding back to TN in the early summer.
I say stay off of all freeways first and foremost. They are generally straight and boring. Well I guess when you get east of the rockies it's all pretty much...
