I bought a beautiful matte black Qwest a week or two ago. I was trying to decide between those two helmets as well--biggest reason I chose the Qwest was that is was designed for a rider sitting in the touring/upright positions--the design difference is in the vents, as they are positioned to...

+1 on the FZ1 bars. They obviously sit forward and lower than the stock bars, and leaning forward to use them hurt my back a little bit--so I bought a set of riser barbacks off of ebay to compensate, and now they are perfect! Oh yeah btw I'm pretty sure they add like 10hp too. :BLAA:

The look and price is right! I'm going to wait 1 hour just so I know I'm not making an impulse buy. :BLAA: Thanks! :rockon:

I think I recall reading a post about someone who used Barkbusters. I THINK the Storm S1 seems to fit the bill for the FZ6. I am potentially looking into getting handguards as well, and am just starting to look, so don't take my word as gold. I have an '04, and the Barkbusters website only has...

Thanks for the comments guys--It definitely is a temporary hack just so I can enjoy riding until season ends. I've been working overtime a TON lately (sitting in front of a computer), so I really needed to let my brain and hands do something that was real. An afternoon free, and this happened to...

So I've been unable to ride for a few weeks since I laid my bike down. A local shop checked her over and mechanically she was sound. I took a half day at work today and plotted how I could make something legal out of the mangled fairing that I had--just so I could get a few more rides in before...

Hope this doesn't burst any bubbles, but the MSRP price for the GoPro HD HERO went down to 239.99 recently when the GoPro HERO2 was released. You can buy the camera for that price right from GoPro's website. Motorsport Racing On Board Camera: HD Motorsports HERO Of course this doesn't...

And the last few. I'm tempted to go nekkid, but I'm afraid I might miss the fairing for wind protection...

Thanks for all the responses guys. After re-reading my post it probably sounds like I was quite depressed. Crashing sucks, but I'm OK and the bike doesn't seem to be in bad shape at all. Going to try and decide about insurance tomorrow. Here's some pics:

I hate this part, but I know I should do it. Being humiliated sucks but I believe it ultimately leads to growth. So I went down the other day. I cannot blame another driver for cutting me off, no one else was involved. I am pretty much completely fine, I have a decent size bruise on my right...

Bought my '04 FZ6 in June--it was the first bike I owned, first time I rode was a month before in May when I took the MSF course. Did a lot of research, and couldn't be happier with my choice. The lack of low end might get me someday, but not now. I am just starting to explore the 10,000rpm...

Interesting...I've only been riding since June so I'm reading this gleaning for knowledge. In my manual truck, I coast a lot, and almost always use the brakes to come to a stop. I'd like to think I'm taking some pressure off the transmission, as I know the clutch is probably nearing the end of...

Each time you turn them on it reverts to the lowest power setting. Each and every time I immediately turned them up to 100%. Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

I'm officially and idiot. :rolleyes: I had the polarity mixed up connecting the grips to my power block. Once that was fixed the lights came on signifying the grips were active! I didn't use them on the way to work since it was nice out--but then it started to rain, so I flicked them on...

Hey all, So I just attempted a combo upgrade, FZ1 bars with heated grips. The FZ1 bars went on relatively painlessly, took a few hours, and it was dark by the time I finished. Regardless, I took a ride and I love how they feel, although I'm tempted to look into bar risers as I crushed my...

You have an awesome ride to work! :rockon: ...I'm pretty much driving straight and usually following busses or dodging people trying to cut in front of me to get on the highway. I only have to go 7 miles and that takes me 15 minutes. Oh well, weekends exist for a reason! Video is awesome too...

I love my job--I run the graphics/animation department for a smallish in-house video production/broadcast facility at the University I graduated from last year. My boss is awesome...I've been working overtime on a big project that is due soon and he is always telling me to take time off and...

I live in Henrietta, so southeast of the city. I will definitely check some of those places out. Thankfully now I do ride with 'actual' gear, for the first week or so I did feel a bit naked wearing that--it was the best I had at the time. I now have a pair of tcx infinity boots and a nice...

@ red06: I think I had the same exact problem you did--lost the backing plate and nuts from my swingarm. Check this thread, there's links to where you can order the parts. I ended up ordering them from my dealer. Now I'm just waiting for them to get in before I can ride... :(...
