Yeah, simple to install, looks clean.

I got tied up with work and haven't gotten around to installing the shock, all I was attemping to do was to match as many parts to keep from doing any excess drilling or reaming of frame members and to keep the engineered connections as close to OEM as possible.

[Quote"[I]While I would like to have an R6, my back will not allow me to ride with those ergos. I know you can convert it to a standard with a $500.00 kit but I think it wouldn't look right. (Love to see a converted one though)] Sat on one with the conversion kit and it was like sitting on my...

I was going to try this mod myself and went a little different direction. I went out on a limb and purchased from Yamaha the upper shock bushing (P/N 34L-22216-00-00 @ $8.40) and the lower collar (P/N 90387-1012B-00 @ $3.31) The upper bushing in the R1 shock can be tapped out with a hammer and...

Re: what type/brand of oil do you use? Motul 300V full syn and K&N filter

I recently went to my dealer to have my new tires mounted and one of the techs there used to ride an FZ6, the he took me outside and shows me his new ride which is a new YZF-R6 with a top triple clamp mod that does away with the clip-oh's and adds a bar riser and handlebars like the FZ. He held...

The calipers heat up fast especially the front under heavy braking causing the brake fluid to heat up. The stock lines expand from the heat and being under pressure, I belive this is called brake fade. The briaded stainless lines don't allow the innner liner to expand therefore transferring all...

Speaking of Chicken Fried, I was at 290 Cafe in Manor, had Chicken Fried Chicken, loaded mashed, and green beans with bacon and onions! Smothered in country cream grave, of course. I only eat that about once a month, damn is it GOOD! That's one of the things I miss about Texas, the little...
