I ended up rounding one of mine off pretty good too. I was able to hammer a slightly smaller socket, either inch or metric 6 or 12 point, whatever gives it a real right fit. If its already rounded try this. I picked up some plated high strength bolts in that size from my local hardware store...

Most of those ebay cheap street fighter headlights are crap for both being able to see at night; and having bright enough lights and signals to be seen by oncoming traffic. Try searching online to find reviews of any of those before you buy. You're better off trying to find something OEM from...

Loaded 2007 FZ6 in CT Sold................

Took out a friend's VFR1200 for ~90 miles last night. Too sportbikey for me, and frankly, I don't need all the power of a 1000cc bike. Or the fuel economy either, that bike sucked down 3.1 gallons of premium in about 90 miles. I feel like the ergonomics of the 800 are similar, but I've got a few...

So the past 3.5 my FZ6 has been my commuter and occasional 2up bike. I'm toying with the idea of replacing it with something a little more comfortable, for both longer solo rides and light 2up touring. I've experimented with 3 different seats and 2 different handlebars and risers on my FZ6...

Sorry to hear. My dad got rear ended about 2 months ago while stopped waiting to turn left on a secondary road. You just deal with your insurance company, it's their job to deal with the at-fault persons insurance to get you reimbursed. Make sure you get your helmet and leather jacket replaced...

I don't think so, ronayers has them as different part numbers. But if they are bent, I've got an extra set of R6S fork tubes I'd sell you

I tried the grip puppies but they were a little too thick for my liking, I've got smallish hands, medium gloves. I have progrip 714's on both my FZ6 and my DR350 and I like them, they are slightly thicker than the stock ones and more cushioned.

You shouldn't be riding with your arch on the pegs. When you're riding normally, the balls of your feet should be on the pegs. So yes, you should have to move your entire foot to shift.

I've got a magnetic tank bag, but I hardly use it since I have a 52L topcase and 21 and 46L sidecases. Just make sure the tank and the bottom of the bag are clean before you put it on, and pull the magnets straight off when you remove it. There's definitely no issues with magnets not holding it...

Looks great! Good work! Easy! Buy a 2007, then unbolt the mounting brackets! :p

Hah, I've got an identical dent on mine, except on the opposite side. You won't be able to push it out from the inside, since the tanks are double walled. I tried the "heat it with a hairdryer then cool it with an upside down duster can" method and it didn't work for me. (You can google/YouTube...

No personal experience, but their leathers are high end. For commuting, I prefer one piece textile oversuits, opposed to separate jacket and pants.

Givi PLX360 is the equivalent PN for the racks for the 07-09 (instead of PLX351). It still needs the 351KIT for installing without a top rack.

No, the passenger pegs changed from 06 to 07 - the racks use the passenger peg brackets as a mount point. To the OP, don't forget to remove the wedge pieces from the subframe and include those. Good luck with the sale, I love my givi's.

When I replaced them on my CBR last year, I unbolted one caliper, put a piece of maybe 1/2" or 3/8" plywood between the pistons, and pumped the brake lever. Make sure they're coming out equally - if one side is sticking, hold the wood against the piston on the other side to get the sticking one...

Read up on motorcycle engine break-in methods, "motoman" is one. I've got a few friends with 675 street triples. The one that burns oil is the one that was broken in softly, per the manual. If I ever buy a new new bike, this is how I will be breaking it in. Another friend just bought a new R1...

Correct, that area is so handicapped vans and cars can fully open their doors or lower their ramps to get wheelchairs out. I had a friend who got a $500 ticket when his cat was parked so that his tires were on the hatched area, while the rest of his car was in the non-handicapped space next to...

If it's clicking at the beginning as you squeeze the lever, It could just be the brake pads floating on the caliper pins. If it's clicking as the suspension compresses, it could be the fork internals, which isn't uncommon, I have a set of r6 fork legs kicking around and one of them clicks if I...
