    08FZ6 for sale and the buyer backed out because of my price.

    You guys aren't giving me much hope of selling my 05 fz6 for $2900 with two new Michelin Pilot Powers and recent oil change.

    First "real" bike

    My first real bike was a Suzuki Marauder. My 2nd bike has been my Fz6. If I had known now what I knew then, I would have skipped directly to the Fz6. It really is the perfect first bike for a new street rider. Yes it's scary fast, but only if you get the revs up. If you're just cruising...

    Offset Tires?

    Update. I had the strings I was using for alignment off and that was throwing off all the measurements. After straightening the strings out and getting them like they should be, I am only off a little less than a 1/4" (less than 4mm) so I'm not going to worry too much about it. Basically...

    Offset Tires?

    Hey guys, my wheels seem to be offset but the alignment is good. I replaced both tires about 500 miles ago myself. Obviously, I pooch screwed something on reassembly or didn't get everything aligned. Assuming all spacers/washers/bearings are in the correct location, any ideas on how to...

    Is the FZ6 A Smooth Shifting Bike?

    Does it really matter though? The Fz6 is such a hoot to ride, I don't care if it shifted as abruptly as Obama's press secretary.

    $35 Tail Bag...Heck Yeah!!

    For $35, it's worth the gamble. The crampbuster is awesome. I haven't tried to use just my fingers tbh, as I just use the palm of my hand and rest my hand on the grip. With the grip puppies over the softer grip I have installed, my fingers don't get numb whatsoever nor do my hands. Well...

    $35 Tail Bag...Heck Yeah!!

    Yeah, I was eyeballing those as well and may end up buying a set. Do they droop alot? Was also considering the Nelson Rigg SPRT 40 bags. Are the bags as big as they look on the sample pic?

    $35 Tail Bag...Heck Yeah!!

    Bought this bag off of Amazon not expecting a whole lot. I gotta say, I'm very pleasantly surprised at the quality for the low dollar investment. The zippers don't feal cheap, the material used is nice and thick, and there is some padding at the front so if it's full, it won't hurt your back...
