    Jacket color, light or dark? Share your practical thoughts on colors

    I'm all about the high viz, Power Ranger look. I don't care if I look like a dork, as long as I'm SEEN.

    Can Am Spyder

    I took one for a test ride a few months back, very odd. I can see the appeal, especially if one is disabled or if you plan to ride in bad weather or poor roads. It does not lean and you do not countersteer, so it it a very strange feeling for a motorcyclist. The power steering also is super...

    Poor mans 0 dollar streetfighter mod

    Awesome man!!! So simple and clean. If I ever do this, I might pain the windshield red to match the rest.

    what do you use to put air in your tires?

    *official fz6 forum shirts

    I still would like to buy one but I am short on funds until I get paid next week.I hate to say it but that is the reality of it. Why such a short window to get payments in? If you extend it to at least over the weekend, I'm sure more people will buy in. But just a 2 day window to get orders in...

    Another Power Commander question...

    I found that it helped a lot on my 06. The transitions from off/on were jarring at times in the twisties, no matter how much I tried to be smooth with the throttle. After installing the PCIII (with stock map), it is much smoother. I think it was worth every penny. Your mileage will go down...

    Any tips on using Mityvac for Brake bleeding?

    Well I just finished using my vacuum bleeder to change my brake fluid. I did not use a Mity-Vac but the cheaper version from Harbor Freight. It was pretty easy but I did have a hard time getting a good seal on the bleeder. The kit comes with some rubber fittings, but the smallest still leaked...

    I want something cheesy for diner!!!

    My favorite cheesey meal is a Brie and Mango Quesadilla. Real easy, take a tortilla, and melt brie, slices of fresh mango, some salsa, grill it in a pan. Cheesey goodness.

    demo ride "hard shifting" question

    The clunk is normal, but for me it only happens goinf form neutral to first. After that it is very smooth shifting. Also I never have had the bike jump or lurch forward when dropping into first. That does not sound right.

    Swingarm frame plugs for the FZ6

    Yes they are pretty and I like the look, but do they have a function that I am missing? Is it a problem not having the plugs?

    Need opinions on front springs

    I am leaning toward getting the Hyperpros as well. I like their all around nature (so I've heard) and since I plan to install them myself, they seem much more straight forward to install than the RaceTechs (no cutting spacers, just drop in and replace the oil).

    What Magazines get you through the winter?

    I am a fan of Motorcyclist and Friction Zone (which is also an excuse to go into local shops during the winter!)

    Is a Snell 2010 helmet in your future?

    I switched my Scorpion helmet from a exo-700 to an exo-400 based on the Motorcyclist article. The 700 transmitted many more G than the softer 400 series. Since I wear a small helmet, I am considering getting a new Snell 2010 helmet since the sizing makes a difference in how stiff they make the...

    removing front tire.........?

    Pushing up on the header made me nervous too,so when I took the front off a few months ago, I hooked a couple of backpacks filled with books and strapped a 5 gallon gas jug(with water) onto the grab rails. This tilted the back on the centerstand so I was free to work on the front. Easy and...

    HyperPro Springs installed

    Any updates on the HyperPro springs. I'm about 195 + gear and feel the bike wallows under braking. I won't track the bike so I figured the progressive springs should be better.
