Cruisers generally get good mileage, even big displacement ones... When you only rev to 3500rpm or so and cruise at 1500-2000 you aren't burning much fuel. My Vulcan 900 gets almost 60mpg regardless of how heavy my right hand is, get probably low 40s on my FZ6... but I ride pretty hard on the...

$15 a pair at a local shop. I think they are plenty bright, of course not as noticeable as the oem blinkers because of size... but I can accept the tradeoff for the cleaner look. :)

If I ever swap bars I will do the suburban machinery bars... highest quality bar I have ever used... had SM2's on my old GS. Pricey but worth it. FZ1 Yamaha Handlebar

Not using anything to light my plate at the moment... Cops aren't that picky here in WA State fortunately. On my old SV I had the plate mounted down by the rear shock on the inside of the fender and never had a single issue with it, even when I was pulled over a couple of times for "stolen bike...

Threw on my Rumble FE kit as well as some Lockhart Phillips Short Stalk V turn signals... Iridium with amber bulb. I think they match with the 07 FZ6 flawlessly. I used a two 1 1/2" #8 washers (one on each side of the oem bracket), spray painted black as well as a 1 1/2" rubber washer to mount...

I use the Moldex ones recommended on webbikeworld... Can't remember the model number off hand... they are green, foam, and work well and are very comfortable. I dont use them for short trips around town but for a ride where I'm on the bike for more than 20 minutes I will have them in. I keep a...

Looks great. I may have to eat the currency & shipping cost to have one shipped internationally. Altho I do have family in Staffordshire... I love that it has an option for aftermarket blinkers or the oem ones, as well as the mini plate light. That's exactly what I'm looking for state-side.

I'd like to see a few more photos of them from different angles...

They look sharp... but tiny! look at the gap all around the plastic cover and the cans.

Hmm.... Doesn't take me much time to cover the rear brake with the balls of my feet on the pegs. I don't know that the probably .5 second delay, if that, for an emergency rear brake application would actually translate into any real stopping power once the front binders are clamped in a quick...

How much did that run you through the dealer?

Not quite, non-profit employee here... I work for Boys & Girls Clubs of King County. :)

Hello all - made a complete impulse purchase today... Regretted it immediately after, but clocked about 60 miles this afternoon on it, and loved every minute of it. :) Here's my '07 in red... .Mac Web Gallery Anyhow, looks like a great community here! I've been riding for a few...
