Gents, the FZ6 is sold. CL is a ghost-town, but someone finally saw it (that wasn't some scammer). Super nice guy, has an FJ1200 he fixed up. Might be your neighbor/close by, @Gary in NJ . We've been doing some texting back and forth, told him about you-all, maybe he'll join up at some...

@Gary in NJ sighting today.... He's real, and now has my Givi cases/mounting hw, as well as the Terry seat (which I'm curious what he thinks of it when he tries it), and armed with only sketchy instructions for installation...

Ready for @Gary in NJ ...

Hi Gary. It's not a seat cover, it's a full-on seat replacement, with OEM seat pan - made by Terry Adcox/Terry's Custom Seats before he passed away. See below. There was another member - Matt something in NE US? - who had one. With regards to side cases and brackets - not the top-box? I...

Waving the white flag, gents - I see no path forward to riding 'post-accident' and staying married. Too hard to just let her sit and gather dust. Just posted her on CL. Gonna let everything go, but if you see anything that is of interest, let me know. Thinking more of the Givi top-box/side...

Thanks guys - appreciate all of your words. I've taken no action so far, and truth be told I would not _have_ to.... I mean, I don't have Gary in NJ's garage, but I do have the space. And I take your point, Scott... so we shall see. I'm in no hurry. But I'll be honest, I'm wistful seeing...

that I write this post. It has been weighing on my mind mind, exactly how to put this - and to be honest, I'm still in the middle of it - so here goes. July 4, I had a motorcycle accident. Not with the FZ6, but rather with my '87 FZR1000. I remember nothing of it, note one bit. A little of...

Holy Cow!! I think you just identified an issue that I was having with my '87 FZR1000. I would start it up, but have no headlights. Figured out if I wiggled the starter button up/down with my thumb, the headlights would come back on. This went out for several times during the winter - I...

Nope - it's already gone. As I said, it wasn't just this - there were parts of the frame that were pretty dicey - for example, the rear-swingarm (probably named differently in scooter-world) had a sketchy connection with some crumbling metal and bolts, the clutch mechanism had pieces that...

I literally just learned the term "interference engine" several weeks ago. Sigh... my GY6-clone ("interference engine") scooter is no more. It shut down/left me sitting in November, and it took me until Christmas vacation to dig into the engine. Timing/cam chain broke, and I just decided...

Sorry man, but - misery loves company and all that

Sigh.... am I the only one who can't countenance the XSR GP _solely_ based on that miniature headlight? Kills it for me for some reason - all I see is one of those Star Wars droid faces... would kill to have the classic dbl-circular side by side
