just buy a snap-on. worlds best phillips. bar none.

I use the wide one. very good for long hauls. take it off halfway and then you work different muscles in the hand. very good for high speed cruising where your throttle is twisted a good amount the entire way. i find not good for city/twisties but it fits in a pocket so...

Soak a single piece of 2000 grit sand paper in water for 15 mins take it out, and using a large flat spot (rather than folding it, and using the folded edge which will cut into the clear) sand over the line using liberal amounts of water. I usually grab a rag soak it in water and wring the water...

2000 grit wet sand and polish with extra cut rubbing compound. wax, done. I used to fix scratches imperfections and odd things in clear coat for 9hours a day 5 days a week (prior to becoming a licensed autobody painter) this will work, and its very hard to screw up

Depends what mods are? are you counting things that are upgradeable, but wearable at the same time such as tires? im definitely a minimalist; Ive dumped so much cash into my VWs over the years that i LOVE having a vehicle that I can just leave stock and be content with. No high horsepower...

Vegas have you created a copy/paste template for that reply yet? Every time you use it, cycleport owes you $10!!! at least make it a sticky or something...

Wear a T-shirt. I was riding with a friend when he went down in a mesh jacket at about 40km/h may as well have been wearing nothing, after 15 feet there was no jacket left but the seams and zippers.

The colors are the same. Glasurit codes for both bikes are 0865 and while their stock numbers are different there is no difference in the mixture. Some paint companies call the '08 a tri-stage but they still turn out the same. If you plan on using a quality paint like glasurit, pm me, I have...

# of thanks = $1 every 100 Post count = 1" on your.... every 10,000 clicking the appropriate forum = priceless This is FZ6 General Discussion, move it to The Bar

One more thing: I use the underwear/liner chamois. The actual riding short (the ones people wear with nothing over them) will be very uncomfortable under normal clothing.

I do a decent amount of touring and have had my heart set on a TS seat, as the stock one is merely "satisfactory" until about 200kms and then its no longer joyous at all. I figured today, I would try something radical; wear my biking underwear on the motorcycle. WHAT A DIFFERENCE I cycle...

just curious, could you post your gear? Im always a believer in doing a crash test report on gear, very interesting! by full gear do you mean leathers or mesh? thanks! glad to hear your not too banged up.

FZ6 is inferior in every aspect other than touring comfort and its easier to work on yourself. Sad but true

doesnt sound like a whole lot of competition in that comparo.... put it up against the sv650s ninja 650r honda 599 and street triple like the FZ6 is up against and it would fall on its face

I dont see any reason to hook up a diesel engine to a motorcycle. will be lower revving, torquey, sure, but I dont see it ever overtaking the Vtwin torque monster bikes... all in all I dont think its very viable. will have to wait and see the figures though.

I JUST bought some shinkos off ebay cause i was in a pinch and needed some new tires fast and sick of screwing around with US vendors... Then on petes I could have gotten some Pilot Road 2s for the same price as my crappy shinko 005s!

you never know, maybe they shipped it. and the postal service wanted to inspect it, it was sent to the wrong place, got lost... who knows! Call and ask!

SICK! I love the TDI's. I work with a guy who has bolted the hell out of it and that thing sucks your eyeballs out of your head when he stomps on it! love the MKIIs, used to have a couple but decided I needed something less rusty and more reliable for winter

RAIN GEAR this last week has been torrential. its brutal out here, funnel clouds and severe thunderstorms all over. while your in AB you should check out the Calgary stampede. the most fun. ever. for one week drinking at 10am, country music are fair game. the local moto is "its not cheatin, its...

Trying to decide between some shinko 005s and these. The BTs are $50 more, and will wear quicker + need warming up. How long does it take to warm these tires up? what all is involved in warming a tire up?
