    Ebay levers review (pictures)

    They work well! I hadn't been able to ride the FZ6 since installing the levers over a week ago, until today. Now that my back isn't killing me, I was able to ride to work. Anyways, the new levers work really well. I like the shape of them and low and behold, the adjustable clutch lever...

    Ebay levers review (pictures)

    Lever length comparison The longs seems to be about the same length of the stock levers, but shaped differently. Attached is a picture of the two clutch levers next to each other, as shown in the tutorial on my website. I'm quite happy with the long/normal length levers on my FZ6. As...

    That's a good idea for somebody who doesn't have a vise! Thanks for sharing.

    Ebay levers review (pictures)

    Received and installed Well, I made it to the post office today and picked up my The2Wheels levers (standard length, silver color with black adjusters). I then came home, proceeded to install the new levers, and I created a How To of the process. The how-to is on the how-to pages...

    How to install The2wheels levers on an FZ6

    Well, I ordered a set of the cheap The2Wheels levers from eBay and mine didn't come with any bushing at all for the clutch lever. Seeing how other people have gotten these levers with incorrect bushings, I did the install today and decided to write up a how-to on the installation, including how...

    Scorpions + decat pipe= gas smell?

    I have a 2004 with a Laser-Quad exhaust and the cat eliminator pipe. I don't get a raw gas smell, but I could definitely notice a difference once the cat was removed. Simply put, the exhaust stinks more now. Having been riding street bikes for 27 years now, the FZ6 was my first bike...

    Ebay levers review (pictures)

    Mine arrived (sort of) Looks like my levers arrived today, but they were apparently sent registered mail and my wife was out when the mail arrived, so they're stuck at the post office until I can retrieve them on Saturday.... Oh well, hopefully I'll have some time to install them on...

    Ebay levers review (pictures)

    Apparently it depends upon which bushings the vendor puts into your levers. It sounds like some people are getting the correct bushings and some people are getting incorrect bushings.... I'm hoping for the correct ones when my long silver levers with black adjusters arrive. :Flash:

    Back2Black: My bike's almost-tribute to Amy Winehouse

    Looks good! Looks good all blacked out! I soooooo, don't miss the year+ that I spent living in Tempe/Phoenix. You guys can keep your "dry heat", and I'll keep my four seasons on Pennsylvania weather. :thumbup:

    Ebay levers review (pictures)

    Have any of you guys communicated back to "the2wheels" that they are shipping levers with the incorrect sized bushing?

    Ebay levers review (pictures)

    Well, that's irritating. I'm wondering if mine will come with the correct or incorrect bushing.... Hopefully I get the FZ6 levers instead of the T-Z6 levers. ;) I do have a 12 ton hydraulic press in my garage, so it's not like I can't swap them out, but still annoying and they need to...

    Ebay levers review (pictures)

    I finally ordered a set myself.... Well, after contemplating these levers for a while, peer pressure finally caught up with me, so I ordered them today..... Actually, today, I received a one dollar eBay coupon for signing up for their daily deals newsletter, so I figured that was my sign to...

    Got my new Top Sellerie seat!!

    I wish... I wish you guys would stop ordering these seats with color stripes, as you're killing my chance of scoring a second hand seat from the forum which will look good on my silver 2004. :) Years ago, I committed myself that I wouldn't buy a new aftermarket exhaust or seat.... I...

    Bi-Xenon projector with angel eye installed

    Yup. This is not an easy bolt-on / plug-in modification. Physically, the toughest part is probably using the oven, then removing the outer lens on headlight so you can install the projectors assemblies. The wiring is a pain. I suppose some people just tap into other wires with those 3M...

    Bi-Xenon projector with angel eye installed

    You definitely want to go with the bi-xexon HID projectors! As discussed all over the place, putting HID bulbs into the stock, non-projector FZ6 headlight housings, will cause light scatter all over the place, resulting in much less light output onto the road. Not to mention that it creates...

    suprised at how many people not wearing helmets

    Pennsylvania too Here in Pennsylvania, there is no helmet law (well, young riders need them, and you have to wear eye protection) and a lot of people go without them. Specifically, there are lots of H-D riders here and almost none of them wear helmets. Where I work, there are about 20...

    How to: Make your pipes shine like new!

    Looks good Nick! Glad to know there's a way to clean them successfully without lots of manual scrubbing. I rarely wash my bike, let alone clean the headers, but someday I'd like them to look good again....

    My first bike, seller rode it to my house. I've got a question!

    I gotta agree with iSteve about not flashing your lights. It's a signal that could easily be misconstrued as the motorcyclist giving the car permission to pull out. Personally, during the day, I ride with my high beam on all the time for increased visibility (unless I'm following somebody...

    Bi-Xenon projector with angel eye installed

    I'll try to answer your questions. Adapter plates: These plates physically adapt the HID projector to the motorcycle's light bulb sockets. Due to the design of the FZ6 headlight assembly, you need one on H4 adapter plate and one H7 adapter plate. (You may have to contact them to order two...

    Bi-Xenon projector with angel eye installed

    Which lights The Morimoto stuff is nice, no doubt. With that said, I doubt that I would have done the install if I had to spend over $200 for the parts. I got my kit for $145 shipped and that was within my price window. Looking on eBay, it appears that the prices have gone up on the...
