could you describe & get some close up shots of the mounting points? I've been looking to make a lip for mine, but I don't know how to go about mounting it up.

*price drop* 2005 FZ6 5100 miles $3950 I've decided to get a Bandit 1250 but I need to move out the FZ6, first. I am located in Concord NC, which is just north of Charlotte. The bike has almost 5100 miles, which may change as I still ride when it's warm enough. This bike is in GREAT shape. I...

PM sent. This one was easy.....if I got it right.

Due to store credit, I don't have a very wide selection. I've narrowed it down to three choices. -Tourmaster Cortech Scarab Winter On a side note, the Cortech Scarab RR is NOT a winter glove. As far as I can tell, they have no insulation in them at all. -Firstgear Explorer...

Think I got this one right.

Waaaay too easy!

For that starting price, I'd expect the bike to be in excellent cosmetic shape. With the damage, even if it's minimal and only knocked over rather than crashed, I'd definitely start lower. Given the prices I've seen on other bikes when I was looking for mine, I wouldn't go over $3500 and then...

Really?? Sweet!

Doesn't sound too bad to me. I just bought an 05 with a little over 4k miles for $3600. Blue book on an 07 in my zip code is $4885. This assumes excellent condition. Mine was $3600. The 07 you're looking at is $4300. The 08 Oblinox got was $5k. It averages out to about $350 more for each newer...

Yeah, on either side of that range, I don't recall much of a difference between the two motors. But, within that range, the FZ6 really lets you know it's running.

I traded an SV650 for a V-Strom 650 for a FZ6 so I kind of consider myself an expert on this particular issue. The inline 4 of the FZ6 is hands down without a doubt no questions asked no room for arguement WAAAAAAY buzzier than the v-twins of the other two. This is based on a year on the SV, two...

Honestly, the strom was the best handling bike I've owned. Well, let me rephrase that. It would do the things I asked of it the most comfortably. I could easily touch the pegs when riding, which I couldn't do without scaring the crap out of myself on the SV. Parking lot manuevering was also a...

Yeah, my riding position and gear leave a lot to be desired, but it works for me. But, I never had problems with dragging my toes unless I left my foot under the shifter. I had an 06 SV. Looked just like yours except it was blue. I traded it in on the 08 Strom. I loved the Strom and only...

What....? Who says you can't lean a Strom??

Got some pics with the bags mounted. I'll have to think about making these to sell. It's definitely not on par with the quality of the product on the 20 page post foot pegs.:D I'm happy with how they turned out, but it's far from from precision work. I just eyeballed all the angles and got them...

That's how I wanted to do it but Lowes only had the aluminum in 3 ft lengths and each side took a little over 2 ft. Also, I'm not sure how high that rear fender goes when you come down hard on it. If I have any problems with these I'll look around for some longer stock and see about making it...

I used to own an 06 SV650 and I recently purchased an 05 FZ6. I don't have a lot of time on the FZ6 yet but there were some differences that were immediately apparent. First, sound. I preferred the exhaust note of the v-twin SV to the higher pitched buzz of the inline 4, but this would be a...

Made some saddlebag supports *updated with bags mounted* I wanted some way to keep my saddlebags from sagging and possibly hitting the rear tire. I looked around the site and combined a few different ideas. Thought I'd add my solution to the mix. I used 3/8 aluminum rod and rubber covered...

Good deal. I figured with the seat pan being made of plastic, it should be fine, but I wanted to hear from those who know. Thanks guys.

I just purchased a 2005 FZ6. I'm trying to mount my saddlebags and the best way I've found, so far, is to run the strap under the seat. My bags have one large strap about 10 - 12 inches wide. Currently, I have the strap under the seat and it covers most of the passenger seat area from the seat...
