After 16 years and 2 great kids, looks like my marriage is headed for a divorce. My wife has been seeing someone else and also confessed that she doesn't love me anymore. Not much else to say there... While this isn't exactly shocking to me, it's both very upsetting and kinda exciting at...

I just upgraded this year from my ol' HJC Cl-Max Evolve modular to a Shoei Qwest. Thought I'd share my opinion. The Qwest fits me nice and snug, with padding in all the right places to prevent movement. I think their sizing chart is spot-on. The padding forms to yer head after a while but...

Got some drag bars for the FZ6. 26" (66cm) width with a 5" (12cm) pullback. Made by Highway Hawk. I wanted a little more forward position to stretch the arms and back out a bit. Install was easy enough. I wanted to use the stock bar ends, so I removed the threads in the stock bars (had to...

I've had a K&N air filter for the past year and a bit. Great performance, but I hear mixed things about them. Sure, they let more air in and boost performace a little, but do they still filter effectively? Some say no, that they will eventually ruin the engine by allowing too much particulate...

I passed a guy on what looked like a blue '08 FZ6 heading back to Calgary Aug 1, around the Morley turn off. Gave him a thumbs up. Was it you? :thumbup:

Reason #1 - nausea...

Not recommended for sipping while riding... :confused:

I finally had enough with the stock plank on my fizzer and ordered a seat from TS. I bought one of their "bargain" seats off the website that I thought was about what I might have custom ordered anyway. It's a "Type 1 Deluxe" with a combination of SEL003 and SEL005 material with red stitching...

There's a little company in Canada called Gears that makes mototcycle stuff - heated clothing, rain gear, bags, covers, wiring etc. I picked up a used pair of their Ultramax saddlebags for the FZ6 today. I really wanted hard cases, but have Two-Bros exhausts and its a pain to custom fit side...

I hadn't seen the RC section on this site before. My second passion is RC planes. My Hangar: Unionville 8' radial Beaver - ST G-90 Ultimate 120 - OS120AX Kyosho P-40 - Saito FA-65 Sig Kougar - Thunder Tigre Pro 46 Seagull Harmon Rocket - OS46AX Kyosho Pitts Special - Evo 46 Not sure...

I noticed that its about time to repack the steering bearings (12,000 mi according to the manual). Is there a how-to thread here? I couldn't find one. Thanks.

Got my FZ6 shirt today and my vote is that it's COOL. Nice job Jay, thanks.

OK, so to save face I've rewired my BD43 twin light mod, hopefully the right way this time! Now I understand why the wire is so long...:rolleyes: Here's a few pics of the correct wiring route. OK, I screwed up the first time but maybe this will keep others from doing the same thing. I...

I did BD43's twin light mod tonight (see thread: http://www.600riders.com/forum/how-tos/1666-bd43s-07-headlight-mod-part-2-a.html. Thanks Daryl for an excellent how-to and custom wire. This isn't a very difficult mod. Once you've got the tank up, airbox off and battery box pushed back, the...

Another short gear review... I bought these pants from Rider's Discount: Cortech Latigo Leather Pants - RidersDiscount.com For the price they're a good deal. Takes some breaking in, and they are "flat black", not shiny so don't be suprised. They have a nice mesh liner and are...

Just a little gear review - I have a Tour Master Defender rain suit and it is very good, has kept me dry several times. Doesn't flap around in the wind much, lots of useful features, packs good and easy to put on over gear. Here's a link... Tour Master :: Rainsuits :: Defender 2-Piece...

Anybody put on some straighter bars? What did you use? How are they? I'm thinking about moving my riding position forward and down a bit. Thanks :thumbup:

What's your chain lube of choice? I've been using Bel Ray "Super Clean Chain Lube" and have been fairly satisfied with it.

I found some Alpinestars S-MX 5 for sale boots on kijiji so I went to sheck them out. They were basically new...ridden twice. They were my size and fit pretty good, so I made an offer. He took it, and I rode them home to see how they felt. Nice boots. When I got home I had a closer look...

This may be an alcohol fueled and very stupid question, but can you break in new leather by tumbling it in the dryer? No heat of course. Just wondering, feel free to kick my @ss if I'm being a dolt. :Flash:
