Man, I wish I would have read this before I'd left. I did have an eye out for other FZ6s. But I'll be honest. I spent most of my time either drooling over the bikes on Ducati Island, or the girls at the Harley trailer. Both so hot!!!:drool:

Absolutely! Trying to take off in third and stalling is just so much fun. :thumbup:

You're correct that you're going through five gears. Since you start in 1st, you'll shift five times to reach 6th.

Well now you know. And knowing is half the battle!

I just do it to look like "one of the cool kids".

Wow! I'm gonna have to double and triple check all my soft luggage now. Especially since I'm heading all the way up to Laguna Seca from San Diego. Thanks for the heads up, and glad your friend is okay.

Once I get back from Laguna Seca, I'll probably paint the fork, rearsets, and exhaust cover satin black to match the radiator side guards and brakets. I might get the Two Bros exhaust at some point too.

There was a huge thread like this on SBN a long time ago. My favorite quote was, "When you go to fill up your bike ask yourself, "do you know more about it than the Yamaha engineer who designed it?""

Don't feel bad dude, I did the exact same thing when I was hooking up my demon fairing. The blinkers worked, so I assumed the headlight would too. Once I started it the engine itself it was like, "Hey there's the light. I'm an idiot." Good luck. :thumbup:

As promised, here are the first pics from the transformation. I'll take a couple more today, and in better lighting conditions.

Here's the link I got from Wavex. Amazon.com: 7/8" HANDLEBARS CLAMP KIT - Slipstreamer -: Automotive You'll also need some rubber grommets and longer screws. Easy find at any auto parts store.

Kinda hard to say really, as it was done over the course of a few days because I was waiting for parts. I'll give you a best guess though. It took me and two buddies about 45 minutes to completely remove the fairing, speedo, and fender. Once I had all the proper hardware for the speedo mount, it...

Ha, ha! So true! But it's nothing compared to the rat's nest under the manifold of a 3rd-gen RX-7. She's all back together now and I know, I know :needpics: So have patience, and the pics will be up later today.:thumbup:

Pure pimpness! Me likey. I just finished mine yesterday too. But I'm a doof, and didn't take any pictures. I will today though. But my bike has way cooler custom scratches on the clutch cover.

I really like that last option, although I voted for "every time".
