    Headlights And understanding.

    So as i understand it the reasoning behind the two different bulbs is so that when you change the lights the second one turns on and turns on the high beam on the main light. So instead i think ill buy 2 h4 led bulbs and cross the low beam into the other side so i have 2 active lows and...

    I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance back in the '70s - and have just finished re-reading it after getting back on a bike. This book is worth your time if you wonder about living in a world increasingly dominated by technology - and the alarming lack of authenticity it engenders in...

    Ram X Grip

    Good Morning Everyone, Looking for a way to mount my phone to my handlebars when I go to a bluetooth headset in the near future. How are most people with these Ram X-Grip mounts configuring their setup? Curious if people are using the handlebar clamp base using the M8 screws, or are just...

    Received my Motors Certificate

    I may not be a cop, but I can sure ride like one. The local Sheriff's Motors Unit offered an advanced Motor's class to us civilians. One day, 8 hours, mostly riding around a bunch of cones. The same patterns and dimensions that the officers must get certified in order for them to ride...

    Fuel Efficiency poll

    I'm curious to see the distribution of what people get with their bikes. It seems like my mpg is lower than most of the anecdotes I see reported here. I typically get 130-135 miles by the time I hit the reserve, which ends up being 4 gallons, for ~33 mpg (about 7.2 L/100km for people from...

    Speedo mounting

    So, what have people done for mounting their round speedos? I didn't think of that at first and so am gathering ideas. Looking for ideas that people have done, not buying 1 from someone else. I have waited long enough to convert and really just am not going to wait longer to order another part.

    I need brighter lights, what works for you?

    I wasn't going to consider this because I was worried it would blind other road users, but while riding 2-up an hour ago I've had course to change my mind. When it's dark and rainy people keep pulling out on me and that's annoying. Did a short journey to the shops, about four miles, and for...

    A lesson in economics.....

    What Kind Of Bike Is The FZ6?

    What kind is it? What do you consider it or call it when people ask "so, what kind of bike do you ride?" Being new to motorcycles I have always thought it a sportbike, but seems some riders are very specific about bikes. I like being specific about a few things, too. And when people ask me "so...

    Mirror suggestions

    Hey guys, Looking to get some mirrors for my naked FZ6, but can't really decide on what to get. I've never been a fan of the bar end ones, but maybe it's really the only way to go to not dirsrupt the looks of the bike? Not many people ride naked bikes in my area, so haven't seen that...
