Loosen the shift arm, 1 bolt. Take the linkage off (loosen 2 nuts and spin it) rotate the shift arm to be UNDER the transmission input shaft, rather than above. Retighten all nuts/bolts/linkage and you're done. Super simple swap! All you need is a 10 mm wrench to switch from 1 up shifting...

I picked up a pair of rearset setback plates the other day from oso2k. Finally had time to throw them on today. I also have been interested in trying out the GP style shifting, 1 up - 2-6 down, so I took the opportunity to try both at once. To mount the plates, and have the shift rod function...

damn, I'm too late!

It's a damn fine bike....If only they could do something better with the exhaust! If I were to rock it, I'ld cut the exhaust and make a side exit. The 696 and 1100 look SICK without the pipes under the tail And, yes, ducati does a great job of making accessories of all kinds...and yes, they...

I'm trying to gauge interest in the Racers Edge FZ6 Cup race plastics. I think they're pretty awesome looking. Overall pieces are (price in USD) Front Cowl-165.84 Screen-74.63 Ductail-207.3 Ductail Mount-82.92 Seat Pad-41.46 Shipping for a set is about 373usd, if you buy it solo. From what I...

I would love to get my hands on one of those triples, but for the price, right now, it's not gonna happen...sadly. from the ride I took last night (very short due to rain), I like the riding position much better, but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the drop in the front....I'm mixed...

In New York, integrated turns are NOT legal for road use. Flush mounts are, but the turn needs to be separated from the tail light. I do know people who've been ticketed for it, and usually if you've got a small external option, it is usually a safer choice as well. If you want to mod...

I found mine on craigslist, and paid 45 to my door. They're on ebay sometimes...a set I lost right before finding these went for 76 dollars. any 43 mm clipons will work, but you need the rise to properly clear the tank, AND I did have to put them over the triple, rather than under, which does...

wait a minute....that doesn't look like...but it says fz6, so it must be.

i've been riding on 7 since my second day. At 185 it's probably on the higher side for me, but I tend to like harder suspension setups. I just feel less planted when the shocks compress too much. Measure sag, figure out what it's supposed to be, and then if it feel alittle loose, tighten it...

These babies showed up at my door Thursday night. I had to work Friday and Saturday, so I didn't have time to install until late last night! They're much lower, and slightly more forward, at the front, but have alittle more pull back as well. When I first picked up the bike, I compared...

I'm postponed till 1/5/09 A friend of mine recently got released after serving 11 years of a 20 year sentence Reason for early release: Conviction overturned due to coersion by the DA of 5 witnesses. All of whom changed testimony and magically recieved new cars shortly thereafter (very NICE...

We just got the new RC8 Posters/Brochures/apparel in at work. First time I recall, they show wheelies in the brochure (not high, and not extended, but there). I think they're trying to show off how much torque this thing has, and believe me, it's a TON! The burnt orange, is surprisingly sexy...

I wouldn't even mind doing it if I could schedule it myself. Getting a letter in the mail saying "You need to serve within the next 6 months to a year, would be much better than getting a letter september 14th, saying I need to serve september 22nd, and that I can't postpone again without...

sad but true. I'm going in with the intention of getting at least a postponement. I'm a full time student, and I haven't even done a full month at my new job yet, so taking more than 1 day off life at a time, is not something I have the luxury to do

just alittle rant thread. I was supposed to be heading down to NJMSP to track Thunderbolt tomorrow with my co-workers and 40 or so others tomorrow. Instead, however, Iam gonna be stuck sitting in a court, waiting to get dismissed from Jury Duty. Apparently after a certain number of postponals...

haha, I bid on the same set, and lost them. then i found a set on another forum

I'm all for the 2bros, which while not seeming to add much hp/torque, do add a bit of style and sound killer. Super low/loud, but never to the point of drawing unwanted police intervention (at least so far, in NY). A stock harley or desmosedici are much louder, so cops usually don't say...

Well, technically they are still on their way here, but I found a pair of cbr1100xx clips, cheapish, and couldn't pass'em up. I was trying to decide between them and the lsl street/drag bars. I figure at $45 shipped, it was worth giving the clipons a shot first. I'll update with photos and...

Having seen one in person, I can honestly say it's MORE awesome when you see it up close. The dealership where I worked had it for a whole TWO days....It came in, sold 4 hours later, and picked up day 2.
