    What material sounds better for aftermarket exhaust?

    LVs are a dual aftermarket exhaust system, so you only have to buy one.

    Pieces replaced by GIVI engine wanted - kickstand piece, bolts, etc

    Thank you for the compliment about my FZ6!! I really like my setup, but I want to make a few changes still. I need to change the front springs and add the emulators because my front-end is bottoming out fairly often in bumpy situations. I really like the GIVI bags, and they work perfectly. I...

    I have posted the original Givi instructions which show the bolts and etc that are replaced. In addition, I have uploaded a picture which shows where the GIVI guard replaces the piece that the link for the kick spring clips to. It is for the center stand spring mount.

    Any suggestions on a waterproof radar detector mounting system

    There are a few different products out there, but I think I will keep what I have. It rains a lot here in BC, the lower mainland, so I basically have to consider rain as common and be prepared for it. Yeah, slowing down in the rainy weather is a must. Thanks

    Any suggestions on a waterproof radar detector mounting system

    Hi, Anyone have suggestions on a waterproof radar detector mounting system. I currently put it in a case similar to the picture, but I do not like the setup because the detecting face of the radar does not have an unobstructed view. There is dark fabric and a zipper in front of it instead...

    Pieces replaced by GIVI engine wanted - kickstand piece, bolts, etc

    Yes, it is a Yamaha dealership. I have contacted Yamaha requesting the pieces, and I still have not heard from them. I will call them again this week. I am really upset about it, and I am not sure if I would buy a Yamaha again. Thanks

    Pieces replaced by GIVI engine wanted - kickstand piece, bolts, etc

    Hi, When I bought my 2008 FZ6 from the dealer, I had them put on a GIVI engine guard for me because I was new to riding. The plan was to take it off later, after more experience and gained confidence. Anyway, a year later I went to take it off, but I cannot because I realized the dealer...

    Stebel horn in stock horn position hits front fender

    I put a Stebel horn on for safety because very few people ever heard the stock horn. It works really well. It fits nicely in the original mounting bracket for the stock horn. However, one day I noticed something on my front fender when cleaning my bike. I was not sure if the mark on the top...

    Buying Sliders?

    Your LSL frame sliders are mounted incorrectly. The black plastic insert tail is supposed to be facing the back of the bike and not the front. For example: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/13420-new-mods-fz6-check-them-out.html

    What material sounds better for aftermarket exhaust?

    I read an interesting blurb from the Two Brothers website tonight, and they state the exhaust canister material does not change the sound, only the aesthetics. See the excerpt below. I wonder if other manufactures would make the same claim? --begin excerpt: Exhaust Canister Materials...
