Nah, there's nothing wrong with sitting like that. On a longer ride, you'll find that sitting toward the back of the seat will be more forgiving on your knees, but sitting up towards the tank won't change the handling of the bike that much. Typically, if I'm out for a spirited ride in the...

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I'll PM you about picking one up from you. :D

Cliff, I noticed you updated the OP to include the FZ16 kit. I actually just ordered one of the VS-02 kits from Vishnu and it should be here next week. If you could, would you give a bit more in-depth explanation of using this relay with that kit? (Note: I've got an '06 that originally...

This looks great! You've made my decision more complicated, though...lol. I was dead set on the VS-02, but I like the matte piece above the headlight better on the VS-01 that you've got. However, one thing that always bugged me about the VS-01 was that the little windscreen seemed to sit way...

How about the stock wiring harness (the one inside the fairing that runs from the frame to the headlights/turn signals/speedometer?) If you decide to part it out, I'll take it. :thumbup:

I'll be joining this group (the VS-2 converters) before too long. I'm already a naked convert, using the Buell setup, but the need to change my fork oil has exhibited to me the cons of having your entire front end mounted directly to the forks...lol! I've already spoken with Vishnu about...

That last shot should win BOTM. And we shouldn't even have a vote. Courtesy of my iPhone 4S

Another update, everyone (and a good one, at that!) Daniel has been a miracle. Believe it or not, he's HOME now!!! He only stayed at the rehab hospital for a week or so. Just amazing. He's still got a LONG LONG way to go, but the progress is amazing. I'm going to email him at...

Thank, OMG_WTF. That's EXACTLY the type of information I was hoping to hear. BTW, I love the setup you're wearing in that picture. I would prefer the Stretch simply from a safety standpoint (although I realize their Air Mesh isn't your typical mesh, but mentally, the Stretch just SEEMS...

He's definitely showing off for the camera...lol. If you've ever been to the Gap, you know this sort of thing happens all the time. It amazes me that more people don't end up taking a dive when trying to show off (although I'm with Defy...this guy is riding around with slicks on and obviously...

I'm actually doing the same thing. I'm planning to purchase either their Air Mesh Kevlar or Stretch Kevlar jacket in the spring and I'm wanting to get pants to go with it as well. I know a few members here have their stuff so I have a couple of questions. First, what's the turnaround on...

Thanks, Hellgate! After talking with him about the accident, I've got a little better understanding of where he was and what happened. I think I mentioned in the original post that the bike clipped the back wheel of an oncoming SUV. But, according to Daniel and others that were there, he...

I've got another update for you guys... Yesterday, Daniel was moved from UK hospital in Lexington to a rehab hospital in his hometown of Ashland, KY. As it turns out, the rehab hospital is the same hospital where he works, so he'll now be among people he knows. I wasn't able to get to UK...

Sorry for the delay in updating you guys on Daniel everyone, but I was out all day yesterday and didn't have a chance until now. A few of us went by to see him on Friday night and he was VERY happy to have a bunch of visitors. He's still in a lot of pain, but he's completely done with the...

I'll be going by the hospital tonight with some others from our local forum, so I'll post a more in-depth update later on this evening. Again, thank you all for all your help! :thumbup:

Ok, guys, I wanted to give everyone another update on Daniel. I haven't been able to stop by and see him in person yet (hopefully tomorrow), but he's doing ok considering the circumstances. He had surgery today to do some repairs on the shattered pelvis. If they'd got that done soon enough...

No worries, Clay. I'm going to let Daniel know about this thread so he can stop in and see the wonderful response. I should have an update on him for you guys either tonight or tomorrow. :thumbup:

Clay, it's good to see you on here again. Clay is a member of the local board I was talking about in the first post and one of the best guys you could ever want to know. Hopefully I'll be getting to see him soon at the Gap next month! This has been a bad year of riding locally for us. Clay...

Thanks again everyone! I wanted to update you with one great piece of info I heard earlier tonight. Daniel is now out of the ICU and in a normal room! And get this...his room number at UK Hospital is...129. As in US 129 (The Dragon). This brought a huge smile to my face when PJ posted...

Thanks everyone. You guys are awesome and the donations are going to be an immense help to his parents and being able to stay by his side. I'll also recommend the Ronald McDonald house. I don't think anyone had thought of that before. No need to thank me, although I do appreciate it. I'm...
