Chain guard is sold.

JDA Custom brushed (looks like aluminum) chain guard for fz6. Still in original bag. $30--shipped to lower 48. I received this as a gift, but am never going to get around to installing it. Here are two photos of this specific chain guard. The leading tip has a very small ding--it was...

JDA Custom brushed (looks like aluminum) chain guard for fz6. Still in original bag. $30--shipped to lower 48. I received this as a gift, but am never going to get around to installing it. Here are two photos. The leading tip has a very small ding--it was probably dropped. I didn't do it...

Bump. Anyone need a manual?

I was given two copies of the 04-08 Haynes manual. I have an unopened, hardcover copy, still in shrink wrap. It's yours for $35 on Paypal. I'll include shipping in that price, so long as you're in the lower 48 states.

So, since my indicators should not be running lights, does this mean I should just connect the indicator lead and the ground lead from the bike to the two leads on the indicators--and just tape over the third lead? By the way, thanks for the help.

It's God's work you're doing.

Actually, Teacher Joe, I teach--AP Language-Comp. I have a tendency when lecturing to transposition rhetorical devices, or really any esoteric technical terms or details--I see it as a kind of advanced spoonerism. Funny, last week I was talking with some kids about aligning innate abilities...

Thanks. I'll use the vice-grips or the vice.

True, true. Typing fast. I make at least 20 such errors a day at work. Anyways, now that you've caught me in my mistake, go out to your garage and tell me if my brake lever is bent.

I never noticed that my fronts were running lights. Yes, it's a faired model. In any case--I apologize for my technical ignorance--is what you're saying that I can simply cover connect the ground and the directional leads and just leave the running lead out? And then I'll have turn signals...

I bought an 08 fz6 a month or so ago, and it is now warm enough in Northern California to ride. So, now that i'm on the bike, i notice that the front brake lever is bent in towards the engine. Is this the stock configuration, or did the previous owner bend my brake lever? When I look down...

Hi, I don't mean to barge in and change the subject, but I've got a similar question: I just bought Rizoma track 77 signals to replace the stock front indicators. I already changed the rear indicators, and followed Boneman's instructions, including buying and installing the aftermarket...

Thanks, guys. I'll take mine off today--a clear improvement.
