Hey, brother! Yeah, all good here! Those rides were fun!

Classic HD *Ultimate Package* Motorcycle Tire Changer Kit. (retails for $949) plus hitch mount ($70) plus Large Balancing Cone Set for Single-Sided Swingarm Wheels and light car wheels. I originally got this tire changer for motorcycle tire changes (adds up, considering shops usually charge $50...

So sorry for your loss.

Waking this one up again.. my latest passion

I've not logged on in years!! .. so amazing to see familiar names still frequent this forum! Just to catch you all up: I still ride a motorcycle (Have had my V-Strom 1k for about 4 years now.. still love it). I still bake a lot, but now it's mostly sourdough bread (for about the past 2 years)...

Sad. It is the most common multi-vehicle crash involving motorcycles (drivers making left or right, in front of rider) and one of the most preventable, if the rider chooses to be safe :(

Happy New Year, everyone!

Yeah, it's really unfortunate. Such a fun bike otherwise.

lol yeah that's a different animal! However, I remember FZ6 with a tall screen providing a heck of a lot more wind protection than a sport bike like R6. I've got a VStrom now (pretty much naked, but with a screen) and even with a tall touring screen it still lets loads of wind through.. from the...

Actually, once it's over 98F, the faster you go the HOTTER it gets. Like a blow dryer. Heated gear is better than a fairing and I use mine when it's 50 or below. Why be miserable? lol

You can get heated gear for a lot less money than it'll cost you to turn the bike back into fairing version. It'll keep you way warmer than the fairing and it can also be used on any motorcycle, going forward. No matter how good the screen is on FZ6, naked setup will always win when it comes to...

Happy Birthday, Nel!!

R6S pretty much stayed the same throughout its run. 2005 is the "cool" year, because it had the upside down fork. There is nothing specific to look out for. Typical used motorcycle inspection will do. Hopefully you'll be able to find one that wasn't abused too much. Alternatively, go straight...

No questions about it.. R6. I had FZ6 and FZ1 and R6 for the track. Have had FZ1 on track several times (never took FZ6 on track) and ended up getting R6 just for the track. It's not just the much better and very adjustable suspension, it's the ergonomics. Just like FZ6 is built for the street...

That's pretty awesome! :thumbup:

I spoke to Delk about the issue. They said it was specifically their carbon cans and they have since changed the process. Stainless / Ti should be quite safe, quality-wise.

I never had it on FZ6, but did have it on V-Strom.. absolutely hated it on that bike. It definitely smoothed out throttle tip in, but it took so much twisting to get into power, it actually made the bike feel extra slow. Maybe it works better on FZ6 *shrug*

This is one of the reasons it's worth it to learn trail braking and throttle application while still on the brakes. 2 fingers on the front brake (so you still have good grip around the throttle with your ring finger and your pinkie).. as you're easing off the brake, start rolling on the...

Danmoto is another cheap option https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=srs%3D12735719011%26search-alias%3Dspecialty-aps&field-keywords=fz6&rh=i%3Aspecialty-aps%2Ck%3Afz6 I've had several Delks. One (carbon) blew out the side, after 8k miles of use. But I've since had them on several other...
