    Bridgestone BT-016 - Any good?

    These are the tires I just had put on my bike. Second choice was a 2CT Michellin, but I liked the sound of Made in Japan tires so I went with them. I now noticed that a lot of the reviews for them are from the ~2010 era so I'm suspecting that they are old tech. The shop wanted to offer Pirellis...

    Saddlebag Mount/Guards?

    Hey all! I’m going to be leaving for a trip to Kentucky (a good 10 hours from where I live) in two weeks and am planning to buy some saddlebags for a good amount of storage. The problem I don’t have any supports to keep the bags out of the rear tire! My question is: Will a system made for the...

    Could this be the holy grail of fork upgrade!!

    Hey folks, after months of looking at race tec springs emulators etc.. plus lots of other brands! I also considered old R6 forks. I was chatting to a suspension specialist in Dublin Ireland and he mentioned "had I not heard of" Andreani cartridge forks for my FZ6. I didn't think ANYONE made...

    Has anyone tried this headlight?

    Hi, I'm new to this forum and didn't see anything recent aside from the sticky about building our own angle eye/HID head high conversion. Has anyone tried these? Yamaha FZ6 FZ6S FZ6 Fazer Custom Headlight Assembly 2003-2009 $700 sounds like a lot if they are assembled using cheap...

    70mph gust and crosswinds

    OMG! I rode thru an area today that is prone to experiencing very high winds and gust, semi's aka Lorry's are commonly toppled over. Flashing yellow lights, warning all trucks to stop and they were all pulled over. Hmmm, nothing about motorcycles so I proceeded down to Carson City, about a 30...

    What I learned..

    That gear is your life. It does not matter how slow or fast you go, a highside will really mess up your day. Any wreck you can walk away from is a good one(if you have to wreck that is) Gravel is NOT your friend Don't ride alone if you can help it. There was someone who did, went off the...

    My black one

    Here is my FAZ S2 ABS, a 2007 model with about 20.000 km. To my own opinion, it's a great bike*: Well built and finished. I'm sure that it ages well. good engine and very good frame. A real motorbike wich accelerate, brake, and really takes the corner. It 's not the bike who dictate its...

    Exhaust Pricing Different Between Left & Right?

    So I was surfing on eBay during my lunch hour and came across this, which made me wonder. Why the price different (over $100) between the left and right cans?

    Got lent the FZ6 as a courtesy bike...

    ...cos I came off my XJ-6 recently on some black ice. The problem is now after a week with the bike I think I like it more than my XJ-6. A lot more. It requires a bit more finesse with the handling but it's so much more satisfying to ride, and the extra power is nice. I also post over at...

    garmin basecamp woes

    Is it only me that finds Garmin BaseCamp difficult to use. The actual route planning is simple enough, it's the file structure and where it's saved, how it's saved etc that totally confuses me. WTF is an adventure, or a list, or a trip, or a route. Why have they made it so difficult. When I...
