Another vote for getting your Givi from Helmethead. I bought my Maxia 52L top case with tail lights and rack from him back in '08 when the bike was brand new. Great service. I'd go to him again.

If the FZ6 is your dream machine and you are preparing yourself adequately via MSF or similar courses, do not be dissuaded in getting one. My first big motorcycle after years on scooters was an R1. No big deal. The throttle on all motorcycles is of a progressive design. Even the R1 will not...

Looks great!

Even the fastest motorcycles go only as fast as you twist the throttle. I'm sure the OP knows this.

This setup has been serving me very well since 2008: TomTom One 3rd Ed w/ RAM Brake Mount Installed! - Sportbikes.net I power it with this: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/15870-installed-12v-outlet-before-during-after-pics.html#post199897 TomTom One 3rd ed cost me about $100...

I got 5k miles out of the stock BT-020 before they were both down to the wear bars (all the way across both tires, no chicken strips or worn out centers with plenty of rubber on shoulders). I just replaced them with new ones (same tire) and am enjoying a much smoother ride. I should have done...

Bike looks great, now get rid of the curb feelers before they get hooked on your pant legs.... Those things are the first to go on my rides.

Good job. Mine is similar only I installed a relay so it is powered directly from the battery but only when the engine is running. I used a Marinco waterproof 12v outlet.

Bike looks hot.....need not worry about "the gap" Congrats.

I had this happen to me with an AGV XR-2 I had. I'll add that my helmet size is XL and I was wearing the proper size. I even tried a 2XL. You're right in that it's the internal shape of the helmet that's the problem, thus an even larger one of the same design won't fix it as what happened...

I'm looking to buy the right side mirror assembly for my FZ6. Any owners out there that eliminated them after going to a naked bike conversion willing to sell me their mirror? Please email: [email protected] if you can help Tony

I have these gloves. They are very nice for all conditions except heat over 70F or cold under 45F. Other than that they are very comfortable, stylish, etc.
