Thanks for the heads up. I've reposted them.

Weird, don't know what happened to them.

My 2006 FZ-6 and I'm still riding it.

Love mine and so far no issues. 2011 black and coming up on 1000 miles. I'm keeping my FZ-6 for long trips and just because it was my first bike and I still love it. No getting the S3 to 14k RPM but boy does it have torque.

Tonka tuff!

Wow, thanks for the interest and the compliments. I'll post some closer images this evening and also the parts numbers for the rack and cases. The racks are SW-Motech and I believe those are the 37L Trax boxes but let me check. I also got the matching dry bags which makes loading and...

I add a tank bag too for the essentials. The Russell seat is very comfortable for long trips.

Very nice looking. What did you guys use for paint?

Anyone have a stock screen lying around for a 2006 FZ-6 they want to get rid of? It has to be in good condition. I'm interested in buying or swapping it for a Yamaha touring screen for the same year.

FYI - the seat pictured is a Russell Cycles "Day-Long" custom. It is very comfortable for long trips but I have a Top Sellerie seat for day-to-day and canyon carving riding. :thumbup:

I used to hate the "buzz" too but during my last long distance trip, every time my feet started aching from the foot pegs I'd put my heels on the pegs and run the engine in the "buzz" zone. It's like having a built-in magic-fingers massage. 5 minutes of that and I was good-to-go for a couple...

I use Trax cases and love them. I got a set of dry bags with the cases which make them easy to load and empty. The cases detach easily as do the SW Motech rails.

I'm very happy with how these look. Very snazzy. The hardest part was getting the manufacturer's stickers off the swingarm. I finally had to use a heat gun and a credit card to scrape them off. :thumbup:

Check out the2wheels Motorcycle parts Online Store. I have a set of Pazzos on my FZ-6 and got a set of levers from the above for my Speed Triple. There's a slight style difference but the price difference is ridiculous and the fit and feel is fantastic. I just got the normal long black...

I test drove a Zero DS. It was fun, quiet, and underwhelming. Range, acceleration, and cost all need improvement but it's a good start. As we get more competition and better emphasis on performance I think the concept will be viable. P.S. Noise Annoys

I just test rode a Triumph Speed Triple. Oh, wow!!! It's like riding a saddled lion. I have no plans on replacing my FZ-6 but I may have to get a Speed Triple too.

I still remember this testimonial from when I was looking for a helmet: The Most Damaged Helmet We've Ever Seen That was good enough for me.

Thanks for all the input. I think I'll keep them for a while then try out the grip puppies that many of you recommended. :Sport:

Thanks for the concern but for some reason the tape against my leather gloves isn't slippery at all. Must be the finish on the tape which is matte.

I replaced my stock hand grips with Rizomas but my hands started cramping up. The Rizomas have a smaller diameter so I improvised. I destroyed the left stock grip getting it off so I was stuck with these. I wrapped both grips with tennis racket grip tape then wrapped that with electrical tape...
