Hi, There are plenty of other threads on these items so I am not going to post pics or how to install anything. Just my two cents after having put both on my bike. The stock seat sucked for me. Instead of spending $350-$400 on a new aftermarket seat, I decided to order a Yamaha...

Hi, I've been slowly setting my bike up for motorcycle camping/touring and year round commuting to work. While it looks somewhat odd, I am going for function and not form. There are still a couple of things on the wish list, but so far I think I'm ready for my first two day camping trip...

Hi, My bike has run perfect since I've had it, but today was different. This morning, the starter had to crank for a few seconds before it started. Once started, it ran fine. Went to the gas station and filled up. It was even harder to start and cranked for about five seconds. I...

Hi, Kinda did an impulse buy at Cycle Gear yesterday, but I think it's going to work out. I have been setting my bike up for touring and try to ride as often as possible year round. I have heated grips, but when it's really cold my fingertips still get pretty cold. Not unbearable...

Hi, In preparation for a summer of motorcycle camping, I decided to add a top case to replace my soft tail bag. I wanted more room and the ability to lock items up when away from my bike. My bike is a 2004 FZ6. Being a cheapskate whenever possible, I looked at my options and ended up...

Hi, If anyone is looking for a team to join for the 5th Annual CCA (Children's Cancer Association) JoyRide, those of us on Team Randall (Legacy Health Randall Children's Hospital) would love to have you. The ride is on June 21st and all money raised goes to a very worthwhile cause. So...

Hi, Just thought I'd post a trip I will be doing in August or September and see if anyone has any input or things I have not thought about. This will be my "turning 50" trip. Leaving Washougal, WA and going to Fort Bragg, CA (not to be confused with the one in NC that I was stationed...

Hi, I thought I would share my past two months experience as a new (to me) 2004 FZ6 owner and some things I've done and/or learned. A bit about me, 49 year old from California, but moved to Washougal, WA 8+ years ago and love it here. I have had more bikes than I can count over the...
