    Leo Vince question

    thanks friend. im just not sure where to check, unless it takes a phone call to leo vince international...much obliged for your feedback. edit: i called the leo vince distributor here in richmond ca(lifornia) and they said as you say, all different part numbers, and therefore a different...

    hey friend, i could truly use your help and expertise. i hope you have time for a short reply. its not the same as your beautiful 2bros, but hopefully you of all people will know what fits and what stays boxed in new wrappers...thanks, paul...

    Puig Windscreen for '07

    i bought mine at kneedraggers as well. they seemed to have the best price with shipping, and knew what they were selling when i called. mine is dark smoke, no fazer or yamaha emblems on it anywhere. ill post pics of it mounted on my better handling blue 07.

    Leo Vince question

    i found a guy selling a new in the box leo vince system, titanium cans and mid pipe. he sent me photos, its all wrapped up in original packaging and is unused (he moved up to an fz1, so he sold the fz6 before he had a chance to put it on that bike.) my question is, its clearly labeled for an...

    Puig Darksmoke db

    interesting, as i too just installed a dark smoke puig on my 07. the only weirdness was when i screwed the fairing on, it felt as though i was putting the screws into some rubber type thread. it let me tighten it without the secure feeling of it being firmly mounted into some hard female...

    What would you change on the FZ6?

    noted. though i feel those who designed such a device, and those of us who use it properly would disagree. my thumb doesnt reach up to the high beam rocker switch without adjusting my grip or as safely as it would if it were a flash switch. the technique is two or three bursts of high beam...

    What would you change on the FZ6?

    as my other bike has zero under seat storage, im quite content with that on the fz6. what i would change is: a high beam flash, to let people know i am behind them and they should get out of the fast lane because i want to pass. rear sets that are slightly adjustable. an exhaust which...

    Insurance costs

    i made some more calls today, found another company who still wants 875 a year for insuring my bike. thats with the highest comp/collision, two bike discount, clean driving record. the woman today told me that the fz6, because its such a popular high speed sportbike (heh) is one of the...

    What Backpack?

    what i find sad, and insane, is the fact that most backpacks, if any, feature any sort of reflective material applied to them. given that they cover up what little reflective material is on your jacket is all the worse. everything is black, dark, unreflective, from jackets to backpacks...

    Full Faced Helmet

    ditto for me. it lets me de-fog and cool down a bit, but then the visor is down once i hit that high speed road of freedom.

    I'm Leaving...

    i sure hope things work out, and that you feel better, or decide you can make your defective merchandise work. i very sorry you got ripped off, and sorrier even still that you are leaving. leaving where, i cant say and dont know. that said, you have lots of credits. maybe you could donate...

    Pazzo Levers worth the $$$???

    yikes! i didnt notice i used the same phraseology as you... i confess. not to plagiarism, but to a similar thought. and yes, i got the idea from you. but in a reverse way. grabbing the brake should be a given for safety, so that lever i would not change. but having a shorter clutch while...

    Leo Vince

    very nice, and thanks for the pm. im torn. i dont like the carbon fibre look, but those pipes do look great. i also dont like the "cut" at the end of the pipe. but again, the leo vince i have to say, look fabulous. so its either (since i dont like the look sometimes, but like it other...

    Pazzo Levers worth the $$$???

    mine are on order. so i cant say yet. should be here next week. i bought a short clutch and a long brake. because im not sure i will like the feeling of grabbing a handful of brake that isnt there... safety before style, but a combo of both can be had sometimes.

    Akrapovic Exhaust Install

    very nice sound, and great looking exhaust! i too would like to know if anyone knows about the givi mounting hardware and after market exhausts. i want both, and would get the exhaust which works most easily with a potential givi rack...anyone know? i too like the 2bros exhaust in the shape...

    Clothed or Naked - whats your choice?

    i would take the naked. any bike i rode in years past was naked and for the thrill of riding (and knowing nothing different, nor having any other option) it was still a kick in the ass! enjoy it, there are no regrets in this bike, are there?

    Anyone have a smiliar problem?

    im wondering if someone maybe knocked your bike over while it was parked? i have heard of stranger things (which means they picked it up after) so just curious, do you notice any damage to the bike or its components?

    New member welcome thread..

    hello all, my name is paul and i live in san jose, california. i recently bought my second bike, an 07 fz6 in a color which i think is plenty fast. having gotten back into riding after a many year hiatus, i found i was putting so many miles on my only bike that i reasoned i deserved another...
