    Thanks! They really are excellant bikes, aren't they? I have been getting used to the power delivery and trying to scrub in the new tires a bit. I used some Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish and some microfiber towels off of Amazon. To be honest, I cheated off of TownsendsFJR1300's post here...

    Thanks! There were so many items in the "Pro's" column when I was deciding to buy, I started getting suspicious it was too good to be true. What little I have gotten to ride it since I got it has been phenomenal. And how! This is too true, hah!

    Well, I just picked her up today after getting some fresh tires thrown on. Dropped it off at the shop on Wednesday... :( Holy cow, I love the bike, haha. I was kind of punchy and irritable all week and it melted away when I took her for a short spin today. Last weekend, I was able to do a...

    Where are the magnets installed? Picked up a nail Sunday, then again today.

    Which model Pirelli? May copy you... :D That, is, uh, the perfect idea. I am not tearing up the streets, just commuting and getting used to the bike. I like that plug kit too. Just gonna find a CO2 kit to inflate the tire and I'll be all set. I don't see construction ending any time soon...

    Sadly, there is construction and the is not a mistress. I will keep it in mind for future rides, though. It seems like they ramped up construction on two out of the three main roads around here, and I may be out of luck to avoid it altogether. But, hey, if it is an excuse to search for new...

    Do you have a fair amount of time in the rain with the tire?

    Where are the magnets installed? Picked up a nail Sunday, then again today.

    Can you get PR2's that haven't been on a shelf for several years nowadays? I normally try to get the tire that will wear out in a few years anyways to keep the rubber fresh. Also, a guy I work with said that it was a common issue with wide tires, grabbing debris. Is there truth to that? I...

    So I would like to uninstall the factory nail magnets. I was unable to find the magnet locations in my owners or service manual. Sunday on my ride, I picked up a brad nail. Today I picked up a roofing nail that took the bike off the road until the weekend. Thinking Michelin Pilot Road...

    Re: Purchased - 2007 FZ6 // I now know the feeling of love. Haha, the mothers polish will come out! I have some decent gear already, but I can tell I am going to need to swap a couple pieces of gear out for something a little more appropriate. My Alpinestars Toucan GTX boots are...

    Thank you. It is going to be rainy most of the day tomorrow, but Sunday I will be able to really get acquanted. My room-mate said the bike looks like Toothless from the "How to Train Your Dragon" movie. I kinda see it, hah.

    Wow. Just got her home a couple hours ago. I now know the feeling of love. The bike sounds fantastic. Feels fantastic. The gearing made for just an angelic feeling through traffic. I was blessing each car with the Two Bros symphony as I passed. It has heated grips and was a pleasure even...

    Whelp, you guys have convinced me. My luck would be that he just sold it for some reason, but, barring that, I am going to try to pick it up Friday or Saturday. Waiting on word back from him as we speak.

    That is around 60HP worth of stickers, though! After seeing the headers in the pics just in this thread, I believe that will be one of the first things I do...
