Does anyone have any Frank Thomas Gear and similar problems with it? I have a leather jacket *strike one I think* that I've had for about a year now and found it to start falling apart on me. The zipper recently started getting stuck and sometimes would zip all the way up but come apart a few...

That was my mistake, I too got the 020's stock and got them replaced with the 021. Sorry about the confusion. -Paul

Glad to hear its "easy". I also thought it was a good poll, was always curious...rarely see 1 other fz6 in town so nobody to talk about my bike with.

Curious who has done this since I'm about too. With Spring break next week I'm planning on finally getting around to the duel headlight mod, and have been doing all the research I can but always get more confused about how to do it. Anyone have any good suggestions, I've found 1 thread...

I also had my tire punctured about a week ago, but by a nail so it slowly leaked. I also live in CA...not sure if there is a "stock" for just California, but I got my rear tire replaced for 205 bucks at a local shop. My bike had about 7k miles when I replaced the tire. My stock tire was the...

Thanks for the possible reasons the pressure changed *altitude,temp...* turns out I have a huge nail in my back tire. anyone know about what its going to cost to get it fixed? -Paul

I'm the kind of person that wears my stuff out to the point of no return and I've only had my gear maybe 7 months it all seems pretty good still. But I hear som gear should be replaced every so often, how often? I don't have riding pants or good summer gloves though so I'll be interested...

Thanks Everyone I'm incredibly relieved to say it was only VERY low tire pressure on both tires, especially rear. Hard to notice when sitting on the bike. I didn't have a pressure gague handy, but after stopping to air up the tires checked and my tires were at: front = 20psi, rear = less than...

Appreciate the responses, it was dark when I got home so I didn't have the chance to check out the tire pressure, but it was stiff to turn. I'll be checking the tire pressure first thing in the morning. Thanks for the ideas. -Paul

I'm new here so hello everyone. Anyway, I was leaving school and as I backed out of the parking lot my bike seemed a bit harder than usual to back it up *flat ground* and a few miles down the road I noticed the steering was a little stiff too. I had a look at my bike when I got home but didn't...
