Hello all, absolutely fantastic site! I joined this forum because my girlfriend recently picked up her second bike, a 2007 FZ 6. What a great bike! I have a 1200cc ninja, and her bike is much funner to ride around town than mine! I also have found that it's hard to find a bike that sounds as cool with an aftermarket set of pipes on it than the FZ 6, but I'm sure you fine people already know that. Anyways, the first thing I did was settle on a set of pipes for her- a set of Mivv carbon fiber slip ons. They should be here in a week or so. I have the ability to gut her cat pipe on my own, (like I did last nite, HA HAAA! -sorry tasteless joke) although I'm thinking of mounting these pipes first to see if we're happy with the sound with the cat still intact. The odds are though, that I will gut the cat for a lil more sound and power, and I'm wondering what the stock computer will let me get away with without leaning the bike out. I'm sure it's lean as it is, to help pass emmissions. I'm considering an aftermarket air filter and a power commander, but I haven't been able to find much info on what I can expect. What mods will require getting a power commander? And, which model of power commander do I get? It seems like this model of bike changes somewhat from year to year. I'm thinking that with these combined mods, I might go beyond the set parameters of the stock computer, and it won't be able to keep a decent air to fuel ratio. I'm no stranger to modifying bikes, but one wrong change on her bike and I'll never hear the end of it! Your thoughts and ideas would be much appreciated! Again, excellent site, and great bikes, and I can't WAIT for the new V-max! YEEEEHAAAAAA!!! Thanks a bunch, Mike.
