Anniversary gift from my girlfriend... New Sedici Waterproof Boots!! These are actually my first motorcycle-specific boots. Been rocking a pair of perfectly broken-in Wolverines for the last couple years but figured it was time to invest in the safety of my feet.
i ride in timberlands. as longs as they're leather (or a ballistic weave) they'll save your feet.
More Goodies Came. . . .
Levers and lights. . .

Waiting for the R6 forks! . . . .
I just purchased a 2009 FZ6...traded my cruiser (Suzuki Blvd C50). I went in looking to buy a Katana since I've owned 2 in the past... but then I rode the FZ6. Comparatively, the Kat was clunky, heavy, and unresponsive. So, in spite of my intentions to not spend more... I spent more (Kat was '06).
I'm just not sure I've done the right thing. I would like to have gotten a GSXR. I know I know... going from C50 to GSXR is a big hop. I've been warned ad nauseam.
I spent an entire day at the dealership going back and forth with them... I hate that game. The finance guy rode a FZ6 and I have to give him credit... he didn't push me either way. But once the papers were signed he admitted he was biting his tongue when I was looking at Katanas.
Anyway... they have to mail the keys to me since they failed to give them to me after loading it onto my trailer. I have a brand new bike sitting in my garage and can't even ride it.
I'm having a case of buyer's remorse I suppose. The combination of getting a bike I hadn't actually heard of before walking in there and trading without my wife's "blessing" is nagging me. She doesn't understand why I can't just "be satisfied".
So... I guess once I get to ride it more than just around the dealership parking lot I'll feel better right? It came loaded with Two Brothers Racing exhaust...sounds nice. Anyway- I'm torn.
When you those keys come in and you get it through some corners - you will see just how fun an FZ can be!
Keep yor chin up. . . oh and welcome to the forum!
R6 Forks are in and Done!
Did you document the mod for the front fender, or can you supply the thread you went off of?
And I know I should wait till I have pics, but I'll just edit it later when I get them.
Scored R6 forks with trees for $150 SHIPPED
AND
scored a Corbin seat for $130 SHIPPED
Both would even be good deals for double their prices. BOOM!
I posted a link to a dozen links in the original thread from Hellgate that landed you the forks.R6 Forks are in and Done!

In a nutshell you will find you need a rotary file and to cut a channel about 1.85" up the fender from the OEM cutout. The fender will drop in, but you'll need hardware to secure it. NO ZIPTIES. That could get a person killed.
