***SOLD*** VS-1 Headlight Kit (Red) *** SOLD Item is sold - thanks KD

Sorry about your injury. Hope you heal fast! One second you're up, the next you're down. I hate gravel... KD

First thing is you need to stop riding through beehives... My experience mirrors yours exactly. I'm still going to convert to naked to save my hearing, and try to be macho with the wind and projectiles. Plus carry a squeegee and wipes with me. The only thing I didn't try was cutting a vent...

Amen. Lewd

I've tried everything available for my '06 and finally decided to go naked. There are quite a few threads about this here, and my conclusion was the same as many others: Touring windshields available for the pre-2007 models just increase the noise due to turbulence. I may have tried a big CalSci...

1. I'm unlikely to put on enough miles to justify more than one tire change every 4-5 years, given our short riding season. 2. I have limited space in my garage and workshop. I have lots of tools for my model airplanes that get priority. 3. I don't have the confidence to do the work safely and...

As of today it's still on their website KD

I'm thinking of riding up to Edmonton within the next few weeks to do some riding with my nephew. I have Two Brothers pipes and looking at the dB requirements at 5000 rpm (and the fact that the gendarmes don't measure sound properly) I'm a little nervous about getting cited. Anyone with stock...

So to partially answer my own question: Bow Cycle - has a special of $48 per tire - installed on bike. Regular $60/tire GW Cycle World - 1/2hr flat rate labor per tire = $110 Blackfoot Motosports - $139.47 - installed on bike Redline Motorsports - $65 for rear, $55 for front - installed on bike...

I've decided to change the stock originals on my '06 mostly because they're getting old. I was thinking of ordering them on-line and taking the bike or the rims into a local shop, since I don't have the required tools. I'd prefer not to remove the wheels but will do if necessary. Anyone have...

1. My First bike 2. Looks Great 3. Unlikely to grow beyond its capabilities (two bikes for the price of one)

I'm in the same boat as 2Wheelie. I got the bike on Friday and have put on about 200 miles, in 30min to 1 hour sessions. I don't find the seat all that bad but my shoulders are killing me. I think I'm straight-arming it in an effort to transfer weight off my butt and my arms are taking abuse. My...

My name is Keith. I turned 45 this Spring and today I passed my road test and rode home an '06 FZ6 - my first bike. Major props to the contributors on this forum for so much valuable information. Also thanks to Mark C. (I don't know his forum name) for a great deal on the bike. I was pretty...
