    My bike and camper combination

    I'm still partial to the Wothahellizat Neat camping van with bike carrying ability. I'm still partial to the Wothahellizat :) Rob Gray :: graynomad :: wothahellizat I spent way too many hours reading that site.

    Importance of T-CLOCS

    I have to confess that I had no idea what T-CLOCS was until I looked it up. I've been riding on the street for over 27 years now, and always try to do a pre-ride checklist of some sort, so it was interesting to see what MSF says.

    Bi-Xenon projector with angel eye installed

    I know that you're trying to sell some of your HID kits, and I like the look/price/setup of the kits, but I can tell that you don't have an FZ6.... The headlights on an FZ6 do indeed have both horizontal and vertical adjustment capability, and each of the two headlights have their own...

    Bi-Xenon projector with angel eye installed

    I agree that kit doesn't have much of what you need. - The projectors shrouds appear to be too big to easily fit into the FZ6 headlight - No bulbs - No HID ballasts - No wiring harness I wonder what happened to the kits like the one which I bought? I don't seem to see them on eBay...

    Penske 8975 rear shock

    Since I'm sort of looking for a decently priced after-market shock for the FZ6, I decided to email Penske. (I found out I live less than 30 miles from the Penske shock headquarters.) Anyways, here's what they said: I don't specifically see a model for the FZ6 (do see an FZ1 model...

    Illuminated Yamaha logo

    Anyone install one of these on their bikes? Auto Car Logo Badge 18-LED White Light Sticker for YAMAHA (DC 12V) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme Kind of hokey looking with just a ring of LEDs around the outside of the logo, but it's still sort of neat.

    Modifications

    Our 2004 models have heel guards which already match the silver frame color. My favorite mods are: - FAZR6 Fender Eliminator kit - Frame sliders - Cheap adjustable levers from eBay - HID projectors for the headlight (unless you don't ride much at night) - Cheap grip heaters - R6 forks...

    New exhaust - hearing issue

    Yup, earplugs Unfortunately, with the FZ6 (at least my 2004 model) the wind noise is so bad, it forces me to wear earplugs all of the time.

    FZ8 or FZ1

    I test rode a 2004 FZ1 before I bought my 2004 FZ6. It felt like my 79 CB750F and not in a good way.... I'm dying to test ride a newer FZ1 though. :)

    SOLD F/S: Adjustable Ohlins Shock

    Aw Crap! I didn't check the board for two days and missed out on this.... :( :( :( Anyone else have one for sale? It's the last real mod piece that I'm looking for on my FZ6 (which I've been modding since I bought it new in 2004...). They don't show up used very often, and I can't...

    Touring Windscreen

    Nice offer Charlie. You'd have to pay me to put that sucker back on my bike thought. :) I tried that windscreen back in 2005 and it did not agree with my or the bike. Caused some massive buffeting at > 70mph and looked like butt on my bike. That said, it did offer additional wind...

    R6 on FZ6 (Insert Evil Laugh Here)

    Bummer I'm finally catching up on my forum posts after a week in Disney World, and this is a bummer. I wonder what would be so different about the tach and fuel level signals from bike to bike? I'm not sure I followed the part when you said: Does it only shut down with the tach is...

    For Sale: 2007+ Swingarm Assembly.

    Somebody should buy this up, as it's a great mod for us pre-2007 FZ6 owners. I installed one on my 2004, painted it to match (search for my thread where I tell which paint to use) and now have a much better looking swingarm, where I can actually adjust the chain properly without stupid end...

    Extreme Laser Quad exhaust

    I really like my Laser Quad! Very unique looking and fits the FZ6 well. The installation trick is to pre-assemble the pipes in pair off of the bike, and then you just need to adjust them once you slip the end pipes into the other assembly. The instructions aren't the great, and it took me a...

    Brought home a 2008 FZ6

    Nice looking FZ6 Dave! I really like the black with black frame. Those side cases look nice too. I like my big top case, but it looks silly on the bike, unlike the side bags. Oh well. My 2000 Silverado has had a two speed transmission since November or so. I only have first and third...

    Louie is my shadow.

    My 14 year old Australian Kelpie doesn't like it when I come into the house fully clothed in my Aerostitch Roadcrafter suit, wearing boots, and a black full face helmet. I got her from the pound in Tempe, Arizona when she was a pup. The poor thing has a kidney condition now and although she...

    R6 on FZ6 (Insert Evil Laugh Here)

    Sweet! I've been kicking around the idea of putting a 07+ gauge cluster on my 04 FZ6, but they seem to be expensive and hard to find. I imagine that the R6 gauge cluster will be a bit cheaper and more plentiful. Consider me subscribed to this thread....

    06 > 07 Speedo Conversion

    I really want to do this mod someday for my non-naked FZ6. I might just be better off switching to the entire 2007+ front end. Heck, I've upgraded just about every other part of my FZ6. :)

    Radar Detector Hardwire

    I too am a V1 fan. I bought one in 2000 and I haven't had a radar ticket since then. The ability to know where the radar unit is, in relation to your vehicle is priceless! I'd never buy another detector without directional arrows. Of course, here in Pennsylvania, only state police can...

    How young is too young...

    I too have fond memories of riding on the back of my dad's Suzuki GT750 motorcycle when I was in kindergarten / early grade school. And to my amazement, I recently found and scanned a slide that my mom apparently took of my dad and I on that motorcycle in 1975. (Picture attached.) I can...
