Have to love Canada Post - exhaust is shipping from Ontario, Canada to Alberta, Canada - what better way to do it than have it leave the country then come right back in hey! :rolleyes: 2008/06/19 04:36 International shipment has arrived in the destination country 2008/06/18 13:21...

I'm not going to lie to you - I am really excited and can barely wait. Got home yesterday and as I was walking towards my front door I saw a slip of paper between the door and the frame - got so excited I ran the last 50 meters or so. Grabbed the slip of paper hoping it was a delivery slip...

I just had to go and listen to a few sound clips on youtube....dammit, hurry up and get here, the waiting is killing me!!!! :)

One interesting thing I heard in the bike course I just finished, bit of a take on the "ride like you're invisible"... Assume that all the cars are playing a game. The game is to take you out. The only thing is, you're invisible. Basically assume that any car will do the most unexpected...

Yeah I just did mine a little while ago - first of all I tried to get the right size to fit the strange pattern inside - then I got frustrated, grabbed a allen key that fit in the large hole and gave it a spin. That's all there is too it. you don't actually have to turn the screw inside of the...

Just as an FYI - the 1-800 number quoted to give Ron a call if you're in Canada states "the number is not available in your area code"... **EDIT** Just found the phone number (480) 632-2700 on their page.

I agree totally, if it's not dot then its a risk you run. Having said that, I have a friend who is a cop here in Calgary, and I had him look at the indicators once I put them on. Obviously he can't speak for every cop everywhere, and Boneman is right that if they want to they will get you for...

The nice thing about these is no drilling. Looking at the site, I think they would just attach (It's a guess, but the bottom of them is different from mine on the 06). This is a picture of the 07-08 ones from their site:

Yeah, they where about $140 (I think $160 shipped with running lights), but I think they're worth it. I had a few people watch them as I drove up or from a distance, and everyone has said so far they could see them prefectly and they where just as noticable if not more so than the stock ones.

I should also mention that I'm posting from a public computer in a hotel, so my ability to edit pictures is limited. Sorry for the size of them.

Well, finally got around to the first mod on the bike. I picked up some Watsen Design LED markers - luckily Watsen is here in Calgary, so I saved a couple bucks picking them up and they where ready in about a week. Have one main LED on the side, and 2 on the front. Added in the running lights...

I would be in - was planning on making a trip from Calgary to Victoria and tour around the island this summer anyways, it would be awesome to meet up with everyone that can make it in Van. Would love to head to the hotsprings for a night too - I heard a lot about them but never managed to visit...

thank you, it seems like an amazing bike so far. Really looking forward to next spring - it's going to be a tease too - I get to drive it about 20km to go park it for the winter.

I've only taken it out for a quick blast around the neighborhood, just got plates and insurance on it. So far it's been okay, but it was evening when I was riding it so the gauge was fairly obvious to read - the gauge is a sort of indiglo, and as the rpm goes up the indiglo dissapears behind...

Well, just picked up my first real bike - it's an 06 FZ6 in pretty much mint condition. Bought it used, the person who had it before me bought it brand new and didn't have time to ride it. The speedo reflects this quite well I think, pretty low k for an 06 :) Now if only it wasn't going...
