Ahh, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

I can't tell you how it handles yet, I haven't ridden it (no headlight, signals, speedo).. It'll be a couple weeks or more before I get on the road with it. I may have the HeliBars by then..

I've definitely thought about going under the triple. I'm gonna try it this way, but the Blackbird bars are just a stopgap really, I'm going to buy the HeliBars in the very near future. I'm also going to install a RaceTech spring kit, hopefully that saves me from any bottoming out issues.. I...

So, after putting my bike down a couple weeks ago and losing the front fairing in the process, I decided to go the naked route. Thanks to the folks whom I have purchased stuff from on the forum; so far everything has worked out great :) I picked up a ground-down top clamp and clip-ons from...

PM Sent on all three signals.

I'll likely tackle this myself. I've got all the tools necessary, included a decent mill in the garage, and access to a nice lathe. So anything that needs to be fabbed up should be no problem. Biggest issue will be making sure it's all still able to be aimed via the OEM adjustment points. I...

I don't believe I was ever saying anything bad about stock HID or properly done retrofits. I'm going to do a high/low retrofit myself. But it will be done properly and aimed correctly when finished, so I don't go blinding everybody else on the road. Awesome job on the LS. I always wanted...

I totally agree that Stern is a good, though limited resource. And yes, hack-job HID retrofits are actually pretty common around my parts. Specifically in Japanese and European vehicles whose owners insist on mounting projectors in any way possible (sticky tape, velcro, etc), and thus making the...

I don't think this has much to do with politics, but more centered around consideration for more than just you and your own visibility. This issue isn't even HID specific, as aftermarket halogen housings (reflector and projector alike) sometimes are of poor quality, or are unable to be aimed...

I just picked up an Alpinestars Spinner jacket from NewEnough.com. $255 I think it was. Nice jacket, nice quality. Pretty thick leather all around. Removable liner (seems fairly standard?)

I paid sticker I think, which was something near $6995 or so. Included destination taxes and tag fees. Total financed was $8000 even, with a three year 'Gold' service plan and a helmet.

The current plan is offroad (parking lot areas) and my very low-traffic neighborhood streets for learning. Also a MSF-type course is in order this summer to actually get my endorsement. I'm working towards just staying under 35mph right now, getting smooth roll on/roll off and gear changes both...

Just bought a blue 08 FZ6, mostly for commuting purposes. Never really ridden street bikes (a few dirt bikes years ago.) Hoping to have a lot of fun and save a lot of money :thumbup:
