How much air would you recommend Mr Townsend for average street riding with a normal size pilot 175lbs or so?

I went 1+ on the front sprocket and it helped a little and my max cruise speed before onset pf objectionable vibration is about 5mph, the speedo is right on, and my fuel mileage is improved. But the issue is still there. Over the years my technique has improved and rarely is it a problem.

Sorry to respond so late. I have a Dowco Guardian traveler Half part #26015-00. Perfect for my needs, compact, holds tight in wind, keeps rain off the parts that I don't want wet including side bags, protects from sun. I'm confused on sizing as mine is say five years old and I thought they had...

Oh my goodness, what a beauty! 3K?! I like mine, the best bike so far after 60 years riding and nothing on the horizon either to beat it. It's not simple nor cheap by the way IMO. It's Goldilocks.

I had the exact same problem. It was fixed by removing and lubing the shift lever pivot.

Thanks for the clarification , I'm just surprised with the weight onboard you prefer it set to min preload with stock shocks, Something tp ponder.

Did you mean highest, not lightest which seams wrong with stock shocks

Yep, I don't need a hunting license I've hit four! Thankfully only one on a bike but I ended up in critical with a totaled bike too. Never saw it, ran across the other lane between traffic and the headlight glare blinded me. Woke up in the hospital. What am I doing here? We need more hunters and...

eBay is the only source I know of.

30HP!!! Are you thinking of the FZ6R?

Motogiro is right on. I've got snake skin on my FZ6. Lots of grip, made for the bike, easy to apply, looks great!

Thanks for the tip, I'm in need for a good tape. I have a hole in my side wall in the front tire. No, really thanks for the tip. Your repair seems reasonable to me. Good luck.

Off topic but where did you get the luggage rack and what is the make please, about the only thing I still could use on my cross country FZ6-S2 like yours but '08.

That's funny, I find no reason whatsoever to go above 7K OK, maybe 8K every now and then. What's the point? 8K it starts to vibrate. I went up one tooth on the CS sprocket and shucks 7K is over a REAL 80MPH. I also lug down to 2K in 2nd, Of course I've been riding 54 years but still below 7K I,m...

So the offer is for three sets of a pair, both the tuning fork emblem and the FZ6? If so I'll take em.
