I don't expect to beat the winter with my rebuild, so I'll have nothing but time - this is definitely happening with my forks.

Re: November 2015 BOTM - uploads enabled I'll take a picture tonight - bike looks like shiz right now but I think I have a trump card.

So - I found what looks like a great deal, can't tell if the tubes are bent, but seller says they are straight. If I determine they aren't, can I cannibalize my fz6 43mm fork tubes? Anyone have an answer there?

When you go with the R6s forks it's pretty close to a swap with the bushings and doodads right? I think I need to find some doodads. I think mine are straight still after the deer, but you can never be too careful right? right? right? I can probably convince myself that I need new forks this...

Bike still in pieces - Still limping with a sore knee - but the mount is finished and hung (looks a bit janky but zip ties aren't a foreign concept to that bike)

So math is fuzzy, I'm noticing problems with your calculation here - only 10 points for not going down - seems a bit low - should be a factor of mass of the beast. Anyway 40mph X 160lbs (estimated) + 10 (not down) + ~500 in repair costs + 2 hours in the ER (.25) + gear didn't matter + 5 (fire...

Due to my recent run in with a deer, the Radiator is especially tasty to me - does 30 include the fan? - I don't need the hoses but if you're just looking to get rid of them I understand. Also somewhat interested in the seat.

I put this one on mine - just had to make my own brackets with thin steel (drilled holes and supplied my own brackets, but overall, very simple install. Just secure it to 4 of the lower engine sidecase bolts (front left stator, front right cam chain, back left chain guard, back right water pump...

Thanks for the well wishes and stories everyone. Starting to feel like myself again today, once I decided not to keep taking the percocet. When I got the bike home Monday night I realized why my knee hurt is bad. I've got a huge dent in the right side of my tank and a slightly smaller one on...

35-40ish - not quite sure cause that part of my commute is into the morning sun and I don't really look at the speedo, going along with traffic though on a 35mph road. (inside of city limits/the major beltway around the city too, not like I was going through a forest!) They're cooking it up...

Nothing spices up a morning commute like some guy coming into your lane. Today that guy had a big set of antlers. The Events: 35-40mph - Deer jumps into my lane Deer are big and solid and heavy Kept the bike up Pulled a U-Turn and laid down on the sidewalk Deer collapsed in the median...

You're a genius! Thank you! Exhaust Pipe Gasket $29.52 The list matches what I'd hoped/contains both the 04-09 FZ6 and the 09-10 FZ6R and the 99-05 R6 and 06-09 R6S which leads me to believe that exhausts from each of those years are interchangeable! Use the same part for Exhaust Gaskets...

How'd you break it? Mine's been squished between my exhaust and the hood/bumper of a Pontiac Grand Prix, mind you it's still a bit bent up and I haven't straightened it out, but these things feel really tough!

I always wondered how that was supposed to be done. Still no easy task either way. Back to the root question though - Even though the header tubes of an r6s have a diameter that's .125" larger than mine, do the ends still have the same size (exhaust ports on the engine may be a different way...

I'm working with an S1, so no header cats (no any cats at this point). Not really considering mounting a different year FZ header onto it. Thanks for making me think about exhaust velocity. Wider piping without a final collector would definitely hurt performance (half the pulses per exit...

They're pretty different, I don't think you'd be able to easily match them up: You see that the FZ is mostly flat, the R6 is stacked one over the other

Good question, I wished I could have just used ours for simplicity, but in order to fabricate what I want, it's not any easier using stock. The FZ has a nasty stamped 4-1 collector that would be a bear to connect to a muffler without getting too close to the rear tire. The R6S has a 4-2-1 and...

Just did mine at 30k :spank: They were pretty far off, Intake was pretty close to in spec but since I was definitely going to have to do them for the exhaust (all severely too tight) I figured I'd do both and put them towards the middle-upper range. I was able to recycle shims for some of them...

I know there are a ton of posts out there about various R6, R6S and R6R headers being fitted onto the FZ. After hours of looking through the history for any sort of specifics and dimensions about which header each of you used, I've been unable to determine what the exact differences are...

I've noticed a few cities dropping rates after getting in the door with drivers - it makes it so that it's not as worth it for drivers. There's also not a ton of control of how many drivers are working a given area, so you could wind up with too many for the demand and have a hard time getting...
