I have test ridden about 10 bikes a year for the past 6 years to replace my FZ6. Just can't find one that I would trade for it (plus the boatload of cash the dealer wants!) My FZ6 seems tight, efficient and is bulletproof. I just can't part with it! 53000 kms later and it still rides like...

Definitely a Snowmobile with wheels!!!

I have never used dyna beads but was fully set on trying them with my current set of tires. I went down to the dynabead distributor to pick some up, and he did not recommend I use them if I exceeded speeds of 180km/h (approx 110 mph) which I frequently do(not recommended,tho). He tested several...

Hopefully the hi speed balance will fix your problem. The front tire of My last set of tires shimmied at about 100 mph and they were hi speed balanced. In the end, we came to the conclusion that the tire was out-of-round from the factory. The only way we could have fixed the shimmy was to...

I just had the valves adjusted today. My bike has 49000kms (approx. 30000 miles), so the FZ6 was a little overdue for it. ALL of the exhaust valves needed shims and all of the intake valves were in spec. I am very glad I had it done! My bike runs smoother with a little more noticeable power...

Corbin seat is good but quite hard. Your a** will only get sore to a certain point, even on all day rides, (unlike the stock seat).Top saddlery is good and much softer than the Corbin. I've had both but sold the Corbin and currently use the Top Saddlery seat. My a** is a bit more comfy on the TS...

Any pics? Post em up! I'm interested in what the windscreen extender looks like.

Car tires installed on a big cruiser seems fairly common on cruiser forums (rear tire only!!). I've followed a forum on the Honda Valkyrie and several owners have tried it with great results. They are pulling up to 40000 miles out of the rear tire, and it doesn't seem to affect handling much at...

57000 km. I slipped on a new pair of shoes on it (BT023's) Did it myself...what a pain! Now to pick up some dynabeads for balancing...hope they work!

Nope! No-Way! Nada! Never going to happen for this guy! For me it would go like this: Hmmm...tattoo looks pretty...now wash it off and lets try something else! That would all happen in about 3 seconds.

I wave at them all..even the pissed off dude on his Harley with no rear suspension!(kinda feel sorry for him actually).:rolleyes:

pneumonia is brutal...had it about 12 years ago, missed a month of work and it took a year before I felt fully normal again. My lungs haven't quite been the same since. I'm glad you caught it in time. Take your time healing...you don't want a relapse, believe me.

Great thread! Replaced my steering head bearings with all balls this weekend and wouldn't have done it without this post. Thanks especially to BD43. I purchased a bearing separator for $15 and a seal driver for $45 to aid in the task. Couldn't buy a spanner anywhere so had to use a hammer and...

Two sparrows came together and hit me in the helmet...glad I had my visor down. Also, ran over a chicken once on my bike...feathers everywhere! What happened when the chicken crossed the road? Well now you know!!:sinister:

I am currently in the middle of replacing my steering head bearings right now. Decided to change the fork oil too at the same time. The fork oil was surprisingly clean but the bottom steering head bearing looks like the ones pictured in this thread. Top one is fine but will change it out anyway...

Bugger! my pristine baby, isn't anymore, at least now I'm not worrying about the first time I drop it What a relief! Now you can go on really enjoying your ride!;) Seriously tho, a sharpie and a new Oggy Knob and you will pretty much have your pristine baby back. Glad you didn't get hurt and a...

Well, my steering head bearings have now packed it in, so I thought I'd replace them and at the same time, change my fork oil (seeing as its 5 years old). I'm quite happy with the front end suspension for the kind of riding I do, plus I really don't know any better as to what better suspension...

Check out Bonemans FZ6 website. He has Rizoma rearsets posted up there with pics. Link to his website is on the Home page. I believe the Rizomas are fully adjustable.

:beer::beer:No, not while posting!!:D

At the proper angle, you could troll while riding on those roads that travel right along the edge of the lake/river.:D It will be interesting to see what you come up with.
