Been a while sense I've been here. Not even sure any of the people I know are still here, but I was thinking about y'all today. Weather has been nice, people have been riding and I saw a nice FZ-6 today. I just wanted to say, enjoy your rides and ride often. You never know when you won't be...
i had the race on in the background while i was working on the computer. i don't keep up with this stuff like some of you so i need some help. they said something about some "new technology" and/or "new bikes" that some, but not all, of the riders were riding. did i miss-hear? if there's new...
I returned some defective boots I bought from motorcyclegear and expected to get a new pair back. While I waited I bought a cheap pair locally. Rather than sending me boots they just sent me a gift certificate. I can use it in the future, but would like to get a guitar pedal or two right now...
Hey Everyone,
Need a little help. Rather than worrying about spacers and such for my r6 fork swap I've decided to just use the whole '03 R6 front end. But I really like where my bars are on the FZ6. I've looked into two different options.
First, I've looked at some different clip ons...
if you do, i was wondering if you could measure something for me. how long is the neck tube from the bottom tree to where the threads start? and can you give an approximation on the diameter of the neck tube?
i'm seriously contemplating moving my '06 fz6 front end over to my cx500 cafe project.
hey guys, just wondering if there's a reason why people haven't just put the whole r6 front end on when people put the r6 forks on. if the stem is the same is there any reason i could just use the whole triple and tap it for a set of risers to bring the bars up to stock fz6 hight? figure it'd...
Holy Mackerel. So I went away on a retreat on May 31st and all things were good. The retreat was great. Good to see some friends I don't see very often. Was feeling really good and refreshed. It ended Thursday night and we headed home on Friday. Was excited because my girls were having...
Hey Everyone.
I didn't take my schedule into account when planning the end of this month's hunt. I leave first thing in the morning for a retreat. I will get back on Friday. If I have i-net access I'll try to look over the pics, pick the winner and put up next month's challenge. If not...
I guess the better question is... could something be wrong with my bike to cause my front tires to cup?
Feel free to simply answer. But if you have the time, here's the background to cause me to ask that.
About a year ago I asked on here about my front end being a little unstable...
in a few hours my father-in-law and brother-in-law will be here with their bikes. we're taking the week and starting here in north carolina and trying to make it up to maine and then head back. my f-i-l has done most of the planning so i'm sort of along for the ride. i'm looking forward to...
a few weeks ago i posted that i realized that because of finances i'd be keeping the fz6 for a long time. i won't be doing any fun mods (again because of finances) but i have wondered about doing things like upgrading the front end and such. so i've recently been shopping around for a set of...
i have some wiring i need to do to clean up my fairing and add my stebel horn.
here is what i currently have.
projectors - all wired directly to the battery
heated "under"-grips - wired directly to battery (no relay) but doesn't matter because they haven't worked since i put them on. i put...
today i got a frog toggs suit but the shop didn't have anything for the hands and feet. i'm going to place an order for something on monday. what you y'all found that works well?
today was just one of those nice days. first, i get to take my oldest to her soccer game because my wife took our youngest to the doctor. bummer she had to go, but it meant some personal time with my oldest daughter.
then, i come home, drop my daughter off and go to the motorcycle shop...
Sorry for the delay everyone. The long awaited May Hunt is here. The rules are basic.
Every pic has your bike in it
Every pic has to be taken AFTER the hunt has been issued
All pics need to be posted by midnight EST on the 31st
Pics can be all in one post (preferable) or spread out over the...
so i got on here about a year ago to try and get this up and running again. then i got busy and went through some personal things. i see that a few people have tried to pick it up and get it going again. seems like there's still interest. and now that riding season is picking up for north...
can't believe how bad my memory is sometimes. yesterday i was trying to remember when i got my bike and how many miles it had. so i got on here and searched for one of my first threads. i couldn't remember if it was '08 or '09. turns out i got it exactly two years ago (april of '09) and it...
hey everyone,
wanting to change my oil. last time i got a purolator pl14610 (3.25 inches filter). i have a set of sw-motech engine guards that do a great job of guarding the oil filter. the last filter i had to do the screwdriver method to get it off because i couldn't get a "filter...
