I am certainly interested in one, maybe even 2

I actually have my two mirrors set up slightly differently. My right mirror is set up so I can see behind me when sitting upright. My left one is set slightly lower so when I'm tucked in I just raise my head a tiny bit and can see behind me. I can still see out of my left mirror when sitting...

There are a lot of new bikes out there. I'm a bit scared to try them, because I know i'll get bit by the bike envy bug haha. But I will say without any reservation that the Fz6 fueling isn't spot on, it is a LITTLE snatchy (as someone pointed out it may be a US problem, all these emission things...

Totally agree. You can be naked in bright red body paint with lights brighter than the sun. if the driver never even turns to look it's not going to help much. I try to stay out of blinds spots and id also consider next to the driver window at eye level a blind spot -.- ridiculous I know, but...

Hahaha this was a great read!! Stay awesome and stay safe *gives cool guy thumbs up*

a bit old, BUT here is something that will help. The picture is far more valuable than the text. This is what I did for my setup. total cost <$3 Went to the local home depot bought - 1/4"x12" threaded... something.. Its basically just a long thread, not bolt/head on it. They have it in the...

A bit old, and i don't know any shops either (I'm a little more inland, may move towards oc in the next few months) but most places charge that much because they do it at the "service rate" which is pretty silly. Shops here charge about 80-95 a tire, or like 140 for the pair. BUT if you take off...

Not sure if you made a decision or can still get that price but I found another forum member that has them They look amazing http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/19744-shad-side-topcase-install-many-pics.html I have the givi v35s and the top 55L. Looking at those pics in the...

Oldish thread, but I went to a demo day and tested just about every bike they had. TI went for an fz1 and fjr, unfortunately they didn't have fz1s -_- The Tenere (with electronic suspension) was without a doubt my favorite bike. It's got such a plush ride and is so comfortable. Way better than...

Unlike some purists, I love electronics. I like the ABS and traction control on bikes, maybe the airbags on the goldwing are a bit much... but still, anything that makes riding safer is welcomed to me. I've heard great great things of the bosch motorcycle ABS system on the KTM 1190. Great to...

I also agree, bigger is better. I've never once said, gee, this case is TOO big I wish I bought a smaller one. But had I got a smaller one I might be griping for a bigger one. I have the Givi 55L on my bike and its fantastic, fits 2 xl full face helmets (though i don't normally use it for that)...

I just got home from work. All that fun driving home haha. In a car the word "fun" would be sarcastic. But on a bike it's totally true. I love the commute on a bike :-)

Count me in! I hit the mark last week or so, would've been a bit earlier if I fixed my speedo healer after the sprocket change ;) Technically only about 37k are mine (the bike is about a year old :eek: ) it's a commuter and goes at least 115mi a day 5 days a week. Then there are also fun rides...

When I first got the bike I put 87 in it. then finally looked at a manual and switched to premium. I don't know that i notice any difference in how it rides but it sure pops/burbles far less with the premium. The regular was always popping and burbling during de-acceleration. Don't get me wrong...
