As you all know, my wife was sporting the FZ6R. She handles it well and loves to ride... but something was wrong. She wanted to go buy heated gear and extend the season starting next year. Well, we all know that the FZ6 and R do not have a lot of extra wattage available. So, she asked me...

hot hair dryer and no razor blade works great too.

They are only available on the European sites. The bike you see with them installed is the guy I bought them from. He bought them from a UK site and this last Sept. was rear-ended by another motorcycle and his bike was laid over. The right side one got scuffed... He decided to go...

I was a pilot tester for Travis' kit and found it to be VERY simple to use, very efficient and Well thought out. With the method of delivery, his product doesn't require me to disassemble anything, just feed to tube into the cable sheath and apply the lube! One kit will fill all three cables...

Happy New Year back Jamie! Of course it is all over already down under!! We're still waiting for the ball to drop.

And because I can't put more than 10 images into one post, here is the rest: Husky 3" air cutoff tool: Swingarm spools: Used set of Yamaha Sport scoops. One is scuffed and I need to smooth it out and paint them to match my bike: You see them installed here on this Candy FZ1...

My wife was also VERY attentive to my needs. Here's the pictorial list of my Christmas: Bead Breaker: Balancer: Motion Pro Tire Levers: Motion Pro Rim Protectors (2 sets): Rigid 4.5" angle grinder: Fork Seal drivers (41mm for her FZ6R and 43mm for my FZ1)...

Thanks for the rep Daniel!

Ummmm...... no explanation needed. ;)

Also, if riding alone, don't ride "stupid" when you're alone! I have Google maps on my BB with Google Latitude running. My wife and kids can see on Google maps where I am at all times within a certain radius or at least where I was last reporting from. And yes, when I travel alone, I always...

Thanks Daniel! :D I think it is going to work out just great! With 4 total rim protectors and 3 tire spoons, it shouldn't be a whole lot of fight. I may mod this to build a hold-down for the wheel too. So, she sweetened the pot with a new 4 1/2" angle grinder, the Morgan Carbtune II kit...

It's not like the older vehicles where there's plenty of room! I remember my first truck, a Ford F150 with the straight six. You could literally climb in and sit beside the engine to work on it. I wonder how hard it is on my '07 Taco V6? Hmmmm..... Could be an ugly day coming for me too!

Typing this VERY reply to this thread in this forum. :D Utterly bored at the moment... can you tell?

That seems to be "just a tad longer" than the recommended use of plugs. ;) Hope that is all that is wrong with it!

That's a darned good reason why it ran like crap! Wow! Those look bad! I think you'll find your problem is solved! How many miles are on those used plugs? And what brand are they?

I've yet to use these but will before the middle of summer. Besides the 11.5" two levers I have also bought the 16" Motion Pro lever so I have three. It should be very easy to break the bead with this tool and then getting the tires off with the spoons is just technique. Make sure you get the...

Thanks Dave. Yes, he describes how to use his balancer HERE. :D Seems to be sturdy enough but we shall see how it holds up in the Busted Knuckle Garage over a few changes. :D

My super wife Michele :rockon: got me yet more stuff for Christmas. I asked her for this kit from TireQwik. This is the Standard kit as described in the Pricing page which is $185.00 SHIPPED! :D I won't be able to test the use of it until sometime next summer but it will be put to use then...

Sic, trick and eff'n quick! This is quite a build. NICE!!!

Congrats Brenda! :thumbup: Nice early Christmas present! :D
