    GoPro fun this afternoon

    That's a good way to do it -- I just taped a toothpick to the bottom of the camera and rode around the block a couple times to see if I could knock it off :D That said, my GoPro has been through hell and works fine. I assume that if it ever does fly off or get scraped on the ground, I'll just...

    GoPro fun this afternoon

    Finally got around to snapping a few photos of the GoPro mount: The camera gets pretty hot, but not nearly as hot as it did when I had the thing stuck straight to the engine block! Seems like everything performs fine regardless of the heat. I apologize for how dirty my bike is right now...

    GoPro fun this afternoon

    Sure thing -- if you'd like I can send you the uncropped file, it's a little bigger... just slanted. Which one were you referring to btw? Hopefully I'll do a video in the next week or so!

    GoPro fun this afternoon

    I decided the frame sliders that I haven't used yet (knock on wood) should start pulling their own weight, so I put a GoPro camera mount on one of them. I mounted the camera for my ride this afternoon, but instead of shooting video, I set it to take a still shot every 2 seconds. 1400 photos...

    Great looking bike :rockon: With something like that you've got to start shredding back roads!

    What would you pay for this 2005 FZ6?

    That's not outrageous for this area -- bikes generally go a couple hundred above KBB retail here. It really depends on your local market. Here, that would be a good price, and if he was flexible, it could be a great price.

    GAH ?! Another, "should i buy this or this" crisis.... in poll form!

    I voted for the 2009. Simply because I'd imagine $2000 worth of paint and mods should easily make it the better option. Watch ebay for the parts from 2010 that you prefer, or simply find aftermarket options that are even better still. When you've got it looking and handling the way you want...

    Went to see a ninja, Fell in love with the Versys

    When I was looking for a bike, I checked out the whole 2 naked bikes available at the local dealership (everything else had clip-ons or chrome) -- one was a versys, one was an FZ6. Being 6'6", I thought the Versys was by far the more comfortable option, much better than the Yamaha and other...

    Hello World

    Ya know, the TPS recall hasn't been done on this bike. I'll find a dealership and see about having it done asap. Thanks for the suggestion! And yeah, that was me. I've become a bit obsessed with this thing! That said, I sat on an R1 this morning... I can see why the previous owner...

    Hello World

    Found it! Posted by Faze in the Naked Conversion thread. Also just ordered a replacement side panel to fix the gaping hole that has evidently been there for a couple years. At $40, I wonder why Faze didn't do it a while ago...

    Hello World

    Thanks all! @Erci - I checked the chain slack to make sure it was within the recommended range (it was), but I don't have a center stand on the bike so I can't be sure I got all of the slack out before measuring. Today I'll put it on a block or something to get the weight off the rear wheel...

    Hello World

    Hello All, I’ve been lurking for a month or two now, and the time has come for me to introduce myself and (more importantly) my FZ6. In April I took the MSF course because a couple friends were taking it, and ended up getting addicted to motorcycle riding (big surprise, I know). I quickly got...
