    Extra Lighting

    Start with the dual headlight mod, plenty of info on here about it. It gives you two low beams (and eliminates the “you have a headlight out” comments. The Pod light mod is also easy. I added a Givi top case with brake lights, and added an additional brake light on the bottom of my license plate.

    Just bought an '07 FZ6 and looking for some parts

    If you actually want to be seen, don’t get the cheap turn signals. I recently picked up a set of these for my Honda 919. Haven’t installed them yet, but they’re way brighter than any other aftermarket signals I’ve used, and build quality seems great...

    Anyone interested in a Helite air-bag vest? Possible group buy.

    I’ve got a lightly-used, never crashed Helite Airnest vest size Large I’d sell for $450. Pics below. Would fit someone in the 175-225 pound range. If you’re interested, I can work with you for an in-person handoff again. (EDIT: SOLD) I also have the Helite GP-Air model that I crash-tested at a...

    Headlights And understanding.

    THe patterns of the L and R reflectors are definitely different for high and low beam. IIRC, the overseas versions of the FZ6 where they drive on the left side of the road have the low and high beams opposite of how they are here. What you may be able to do is source a headlight assembly from...

    Headlights And understanding.

    On the FZ6: The low beam is a single filament H7 bulb. The high beam is a dual-filament H4 bulb, but only the high-beam filament is used. With the switch in “low beam” position, only the H7 filament is lit. With the switch in “high beam” position, both the H7 filament and the H4 high-beam...

    FZ6 handlebar end mirrors

    If you slide the controls in about half inch, you’d have room to clamp ones like these on: https://www.amazon.com/KEMIMOTO-Handlebar-Rearview-Motorcycle-Kawasaki/dp/B071S21FV8/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?keywords=bar+end+mirrors&qid=1561483452&s=gateway&sprefix=bar+end+m&sr=8-12 You’d have to either drill...

    Best Hearing Protection

    I can’t ride more than a mile or two without earplugs. I’ve tried a bunch of brands/types of the foam ones at my various jobs over the years. These are by far the most comfortable I’ve tried. They are the softest with very little pressure on the ear canals. I use them every night for sleeping...

    FZ6 S2 Bar rise

    I did something similar, but instead of using risers, I found a handlebar on ebay with a couple inches extra rise (I think it was from a Polaris ATV) For the brake lines, the bike comes stock with a long line from the master cylinder down to the left caliper, then a shorter "jumper" line that...

    Go Hi Viz!!

    I noticed a huge difference when I first switched from a black helmet to a solid Hi-Viz tennis ball yellow helmet probably 8 years ago. All of a sudden the cars pulling out from side streets were waiting until I passed. Since then all my streethelmets have been either solid hi-viz or solid white.

    Southern trip

    Holy crap, you still have your FZ6? I remember I met you back in ~2007, I set up a group ride on SBN meeting up in Southington. I had a Ninja 500 at the time, but remember sitting on your FZ6 and liking it - ended up owning one from 2012-2018. Anyways, your trip looks awesome, I’m no help as I...
