Sold the FZ6 and decided to step into the world of dual sports. Here's my newest bike. It's an 08 DR-z400s. Has 52k miles, but the engine was rebuilt around 15k ago. Hell, even if it wasn't, it's a thumper. I can rebuild the top end with a few hundred dollars and a couple of hours. Lot's...

Yamaha fz6 Fazer 600 Tapa colin culin seat cowl Mod TCP | eBay Different seller, but in Spain and seller has pretty good feedback. Actually shows pictures installed also and looks decent.

Anybody have experience with one of these? https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-FZ-6-Fazer-Rear-Cover/dp/B01N6X6ZCE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487024255&sr=8-1&keywords=fz6+seat+cowl Looks like a TCP knock off. Was thinking of giving it a shot, but doesn't look like an authorized seller and ships from...

Where I'm at it doesn't get that cold for that long so down in the lower 40's is the coldest I've ridden in. The biggest issue is blocking the wind. That being said, the most effective piece of gear I have for staying warm is a one piece rain suit. No wind gets through that thing. With it on, I...

Question about the flooding. On a car I've always pulled the plugs, disconnected the fuel pump, (or pull fuse), and crank it over to blow fuel out of the cylinder. Then hit the plugs with compressed air, put it together, and start it up. Shouldn't be an issue doing that on a bike huh? I ask...

The only times not having a fairing bothers me is when it's cold, or I happen to be going over 100, (which isn't very often).

That white FZ6 they have listed on their website is pretty damn sweet looking. I want to know where they got the block off plate for the subframe, with the side exhaust and if you can buy that.

Nice looking bike. I'm curious, how many miles and how much did you pay for it? Looking to sell/trade mine and wondering what people are paying for them.

It's been like that for almost a year now and I can't even remember, will have to take it apart and look. It's the one that turns the lights off during cranking. Either way, thanks for the link. Exactly what I need once I get the right relay.

Can anybody give me the part number for the headlight relay? Mine stopped working a while back so I installed a jumper in the wire and bypassed it, I no longer have the relay though and am thinking about selling/trading my bike so I want to fix it right.

This is the company I got my mounts and headlight from, Cool parts that make your bike all tingly! cafe racer ace cafe clubman handlebars vm mikuni carb kits cafe racer parts motorcycle japanese british honda Kawasaki Suzuki yamaha vm30 sohc cb750 kz400 cx500 rearset . I got them off of ebay...

Got it, thanks Gnyce and Erci. Fits perfect. Just loose enough to where I can put a hoodie on underneath if I need to.

Thanks for looking out. Thats a nice bike and all, but my next one will have a full fairing and clip-ons. I went and looked at it today and was ready to buy it. Told him I'd bring the money and pick it up monday, but there was another guy at work looking for a bike that begged me to let him buy...

As far as the rear wheel, found out it's not bent from being hit or wrecked. He didn't know until he sprayed soapy water on it to figure out where it kept leaking. Found the spot and saw the lip was barely noticeably bent out. He thinks the place that changed the tire last did it. But yeah...

Didn't necessarily mean that's what this bike was worth, just the low end of what I see these bikes are selling for. I wouldn't buy it without checking it out though. That's the the most expenses (known) things though, (fairing, wheel/tire), and I can get them for around $800. I would do all of...
