Since scratches remove the tint, maybe try a rubbing and/or polishing compound?

Thanks for the interest. Even if I end up stripping the bike back to stock, I'm not selling any of the accessories until after the bike itself is sold. If by some chance I end up keeping the bike, I'll be able put it back to my liking.

March bump. Rode it into work this morning! Heated grips work great!

Vice versa. The wet (lubricated) torque value is lower. Torque = (clamping load)(bolt diameter)(friction coefficient) Dry threads have a friction coeff about 0.2 Lubricated threads have a friction coeff about 0.15 So to keep the same clamping load, you would decrease the torque by about 25%...

Welcome, new guy! 04-06 is the "Gen 1", 07-09 is the "Gen 2". The 07-09's got a new front fairing, a new speedometer, better front brakes, and a less twitchy throttle. I was looking for a Gen 2 when I was in the market. ....... which leads me to saying, my loaded blue 2007 is for sale in CT...

If you're considering the Sprint, you should also consider the Tiger 1050. It's the same engine, but a more upright riding position. It looks like an adventure bike, but it's really a sport-tourer. You guys also get the "sport" model with the single sided swingarm over in Europe.

Still available!

I use this. It's simple, there's no in between connection arms, and easy to move from bike to bike. https://www.amazon.com/RAM-Tough-Claw-Universal-RAM-HOL-UN7-400U-Electronics/dp/B01CW8IUW2 I copied another member here and made a bar that goes above the gauges, behind the windscreen, attached...

If it doesn't sell as spring gets closer, I'll be removing the forks and luggage and will list them after the bike sells. FWIW, regarding the R6 fork swap, I believe the fender spacers/adapters are different for the 04-06 and 07-09 models. 04-06 models also need new calipers.

Saved your Christmas shopping until the last minute? No problem, this bike will look great under your tree! Or in your garage!

I've never had an issue with them at city or highway speeds. Gas mileage does go down a few mpg with the sidecases on though. P.S. - this bike is for sale http://www.600riders.com/forum/sell-your-bike-car-truck/56151-feeler-fs-2007-fz6-ct.html

Good eye, yes, I had swapped HID's in a couple years ago. They could be a little finicky at times, and all the extra wiring for them was a huge rats nest behind the cowl - it would be a nightmare for anyone unfamiliar with it to troubleshoot. This past weekend I removed the HID's and went back...

No longer a feeler, updated original thread. Feel free to ask any questions. I've put a lot of time and effort into setting this bike up as it currently sits, but if no interested as a package, I will remove the forks/luggage/seat and list it on CL in the spring.

One day a couple years ago, I rode to meet a couple people at a restaurant 30 minutes away. It was a late fall evening, so I put my cooler weather gloves in my Givi E21 saddlebag along with a pair of sneakers to change into. I get on the highway and notice a weird vibration after a little bit...

Here's a "something else kinda caught my eye" bump.

Isn't that what the killernoodle mod does? I haven't done it, but a ton of positive reviews on here.

FYI, if you ever loose that or have a bike that needs a washer, you can make one with a razor knife and an empty milk jug.

I'm very happy with my custom seat from Terry Adcox. http://www.600riders.com/forum/vendor-reviews/56952-terry-adcox-seat-terrys-custom-seats-stock-corbin-shad-comparison-pictures.html

The pieces that go around the exhaust, where those bolt in up top, the female threaded parts inside the subframe rails are part of the Givi kit as well. To remove them (I'm assuming) you would need to thread the bolt back in a couple full turns, tap the bolt with a hammer to un-wedge the...

I use Rotella T6.
