    FZ6 back on the road. Should I keep it or should I resell?

    Hey Everyone, A little while ago when I moved to Texas I bought an '07 FZ6, which I loved dearly. J-walker run out in front of me which made me go down. I spent a lot of time trying to piece the bike back together, cause I'm not a mechanic and didn't have the money to pay for the $1,300+labor...

    Help with Headlight?

    Hey All, You guys have been pretty awesome so far with help, so I really appreciate it! I'm going naked and I'm pretty set on a 7" single round LED headlight. However, electrical work is definitely not my strong suit. I'm not sure which numbers and specs I need to match up, if any. I...

    The lil fz6 streetfighter that goes like it should! :)

    That looks great! I'm in the process of making my bike naked myself, and I was gonna hide the electrical that's in the pods under the stock seat, like you did. What's the box/container, and where could I get one? Any idea if it'd fit under the stock seat?

    Quick Question About Starting My FZ6

    What exactly is an RS Mole? I did some digging and the only thing I could find was in relation to the plastics around the headlights. Either I found the wrong thing, or I'm misunderstanding why it's important. Also, best/safes way to charge/jump my battery?

    Beginning the Naked Conversion-Help wanted and needed!

    I actually agree 100%, so aside from swapping the forks (cause I have the equipment already), I'm not ordering anything quite yet. So seeing if it'll crack actually worried me. My right side controls were smashed, so there was no way to start it (without jumping it, which I was unaware of atm)...

    R6 Forks Mod!

    Hey Y'all, I bought a nice pair of used R6 forks for my 07 FZ6 and I'm starting the mod. I have very limited mechanic/mod experience (and by limited I mean none), so I was hoping for a few pointers.I know there are a few posts about it here, and I'm using them, but I just wanted so fresh...

    Quick Question About Starting My FZ6

    Thanks for the info! So I was riding to work on this decently windy road. I was leaning through a big curve when a 69 y.o. (only found out after through insurance) ran across 5 lane road to get to his car on the other side. He saw me appear in the corner as I saw him, and instead of stopping...

    Quick Question About Starting My FZ6

    Hey All! Long story short (that most of you probably saw) jay walker ran me off the road, so bike is smashed up and in need of repairs. I'm making it naked, so please feel free to contribute your advice and wisdom to my post about it here...

    Beginning the Naked Conversion-Help wanted and needed!

    Hey Y’all! It’s time for the naked conversation, and I would love everyone’s insights and help. I’m trying to do this all on my own, so if you have any tips or any solid references, lemme know. The short of why I'm undertaking a naked look (besides the fact that it's awesome!) is because a...

    New member welcome thread..

    Hey All! I think I totally missed this step when I first joined about a few months ago, cause I got right into talking FZ6's! I'm the youngest of 8 kids, 7 guys and 1 girl, born in the States to a Russian family. Just graduated early and moved from Western MA (because it's basically Sleepy...

    First Wreck and First Time Figuring It All Out (Pics Included)

    Hey Beatle, I agree, the scratches to the frame definitely made me worried. However, I had some interesting insight from the mechanics when we were talking about it. Aside from the frame actually being cracked, the reason (he said) that frame damage usually means a totaled bike is because of...
