Hey Nelly - they're not meant to be able to pick up larger peices of metal - it's for collecting the tiny shards that float around and contaminate your oil and get spread around the engine. Don't worry that it won't pick up a bolt. Chuck it on next time you change the oil and forget abut it till...

I've still not found the original website I was looking for, but have bookmarked the powerbronze one above.

Unfortunately it's not in my history - which means I was either using Internet Explorer (I wasn't) or I was in a private window. All I can remember about the site is that all of the panels (frame covers, radiator cowls, belly pans, huggers and mudguards) were all white, all the pictures were...

I'm thinking of leaving it for now with the stock headlights on the stay, and see if the chinese make a copy of the new MT10 front end, I really like that.

Belated Happy Womb Evacuation Memorial Day! :D

Recently ditched my 03 (04 model) FZ6S. In searching for parts to get idea's what to do, I came across a website that does fibre copies of the front mudguard, radiator cowls, and rear hugger for about €40.00 each. I may have been slightly inebriated at the time of searching (Morphine does that...

Thanks! It's taking time! And there's no need to apologise - s#!t happens and we dust ourselves down and carry on :P It wasn't the most fun I've ever had, but it definitely wasn't the worse looking accident I've had - the worst part for me was seeing the effects of broken sternum at the front...

I'm possibly fightering mine after I wrecked (03 plate [04 model] FZ6S), and I'm looking at using a paintball masked mounted over a pair of projector lights. The ones I'm looking at are e-marked for UK use so have dip and high beam function with a clear beam pattern. They'll sit right behind the...

Well it's been a loooong while since I posted. We racked up around 20,000km on the bike with daily riding, some commuting, and some touring around the UK, and absolutely loved every bit of it. However she is not how she use to be... I noticed the picture I posted above his disappeared (I'm...

2003 (53 plate) FZ6S with 31k on the clock. Bought for a mere £1800 (around $2700) due to a "clunking gearbox" (which I would have been happy to strip down at £1800) that turned out to be a maladjusted, worn chain and sprockets. £130 (about $200) later and she was happy with a new chain and...

I'll be wearing plenty of protective gear :P I was unlucky enough to break my back in 3 places, a few ribs, my sternum, did both hips, left knee and wrist and right ankle lol. Lost the use of my left leg but hoping to regain feeling at some point Hopefully this works (might wanna turn down the...

Yeah funnily enough that leg is - I'm still suffering from other accident related symptoms though :P

I managed to keep her looking like this for two years until July when I unfortunately was involved in an accident that sent the bike under a car, and me over it, leaving the bike looking like this; I haven't got a picture of the brake lever that pushed it's way through my boot into my...

when i get round to finishing it, it'll have a re-inforced fibreglass body, and a braked wheel (I have the option for brakes now, just didn't have time to sort it out properly - it'd have to be all on or all off :P)

Dunno if these will be oversize...sorry if they are I made the box purely so I could actually take some stuff with me to the rally I went to. It's a temporary thing, but I needed to test the trailer frame loaded up :P this was the first swingarm mount i did - it was too flimsy and...
