    Selling AS IS - what would you pay for this? Post your bike too!

    Not that I'm looking to sell the Hot Raven Chick but the question goes out, what would you pay for her as is? Share your thoughts! Let me say that she will either leave us as a crash victim or be sold as is. I'm not into taking it all apart! With some level of certainty, I'm sure some wise...

    tweaked forks

    So, bike got knocked over on its right side, yesterday evening. No major damage as there was no forward motion, just got dumped on its side. Only thing that happened is the forks got tweaked so the while rolling straight, the bars were angled left. Stuck the tire against a building, rubber only...

    Has anyone tried MX handlebars on an FZ6?

    I had MX, or dirt bike, handlebars on my nighthawk, and it was fantastic. not only for ease of control, but also for comfort and appearance, the MX bars were great. I haven't seen any pictures of MX bars on and FZ6 though. Has anyone tried this? Are there clearance issues with the fairing...

    Phone Case/Holder Options

    So I have a garmin nuvo but usually only use it on longer rides not around town. Sometimes I need to go somewhere and having my gps on my phone would be handy. I have seen some nice cases that go on the handle bars or I also have a ball mount on mine. The phone I have is a Samsung Galaxy S2...

    Hands still get numb even with looser grip

    I replaced my stock grips on my 2007 with the ProGrip 714BK and like them a lot. Much grippier and seemed to help with the vibes...slightly. I still notice hand pain and numbness after 30 minutes or so of riding. I am always careful not to death-grip the bars, but I wish there was something...

    Shaky front end (no hands)

    I was riding Sunday evening and I needed to zip up my jacket all the way. I was going 50-55 mph and let go of the handle bars to zip up. I started to get a little shake that would have progressed into bad news if I didn't grab handle bars real quick. Aside from wheel ballance, what else could I...

    Ducati Diavel or Something Else

    So ... I'm getting old. I want a bike that's even more comfy than the FZ6, while not sacrificing power or handling. By this I mean lower seat height, more stretched out legs and higher bars. Is it possible? I'm only 5 foot 8 and my legs aren't massive. The stock seat height and high centre of...

    Diversion 900 handlebars on Fz6

    Me regular mechanic installed this some years back. Upside is that the posture is a lot more relaxed and there is noticeably less fatigue on longer rides. Downside is perhaps less steering ease? I'm 1.76m and my wife rides her fz6 with the same bars too. She's 1.7m. It works fine for both of us...

    FZ1 Bars in UK??

    Hey guys! I've been reading alot about the FZ1 bars, it totally makes sense why the FZ6 bars cause numbness and discomfort, both of which I suffer with, my wrists have to be bent in a way to push my hands outwards to hold onto the bars. Problem is, I've been looking around at FZ1 bars and...

I like em, flat and all but my wife is learning on the FZ and complained cause she is short, so when a different route for bars. Has holes drilled on both ends...
