No clearcoating? this sounds beyond hypocritical as spraying must not be something that YOU know much about. If the shop never clear-coated it, it would be a dull color. no shine. thats what clearcoat does, adds shine. Not to mention no basecoat provides any UVA or UVB protection and the base...

After an hours worth of low speed manouvering in a parking lot and locking up the rear MANY times im sitting here wondering why the FZ6 in NA never got the option for ABS? It was the only thing that made me not want the FZ over an SV650 but the $2000 price difference settled it for me and here...

I took a VERY shady motorcycle course in november to get my motorcycle license (they issue after the class and a few manouvers) and I did not get a whole lot of good info. merely the basics on how to drive down street on a bike. I bought my fz at the bike show in january which left me with 3...

does this increase vibrations in the foot pegs at all?

I bought my Fz from blackfoot in January (nowhere else could even touch the deal the gave me for an '08) and im a little skeptical taking it back to that first service. Im booked in for the 8th. Only thing im worried about is voiding my warranty by taking it somewhere else. Think its worth the...

cchouseky; thank you! Iwas always taught these were sensors that detected force rather than a magnetic field. It was awesome to have that straightened out and I guess my jumping ont he bike does a whole lot of zero, heres to not looking like an idiot anymore

For some reason, just before the light goes green I like to give it a quick shot of gas just revving it up to 5k just makes me feel BA

up here they use 2 large boxes in the ground (you can see the markings in the ground where they cut the asphalt) that look like this as you pull to the light ______ ______ / \ / \ | | | | | | | | | | |...

perf. leather is the ONLY way to go. at 5km/h or higher it has wayyyy more air flow than textiles and in traffic its honestly not that bad. Even better if you abandon the cliche black everything riding gear. I own a cream colored dainese perf leather jacket with a liner and ive done 30*C days...

T-rex frame sliders cost $15 shipped. would have saved close to all the damage you acquired in the slow lay-down buy some now and hope you never use em

the insane amounts of people that drive to the dump on the freeway without securing their loads. Ive hit so many crazy things inmy car and every time i thank god for not being on my bike. I once saw a guy lose 10 5gallon ceramic plant pots. some smashed the hoods of cars others would sneak...

Our bikes stock highbeam DOES NOT blind. Even at night. These lifted F350's low beams blind into the car in front of them much worse than any motorcycle headlight could. Still, I use only the low beam during night, but during the day they both stay on; you cant blind people during the day

that would look awesome with gold levers swingarm and passenger footpeg assemblies. as for the practicality of going through with it.... another story.

Thanks for the input! always helps people looking into doing mods like this. the beauty part of this is that a new lid cover is less than $30 if you cannt live with it

Air powered tools used for cutting metal makes slicing and dicing plastic a breeze. I had it turned over and pulling out just as coffee break was ending

Today on my 15min coffee I randomly decided to try out the Airbox Mod. I did it a little different though. I did like the way the airflow was directed with the snorkel so I didnt want to remove it, so I cut away the same as everyone on the outside, but on the inside I left the bottom of the...

to avoid a "best oil" debate. Id just like to say that I will never use anything other than AMSoil in my car or bike. It has performed so amazingly in my GTI that I am now a full time beleiver Not to mention they offer the fairly rare 0w-40 oil

Definitely. Most noticeably for me is sometimes it becomes SUPER flickable. as if I dont even need to touch the bars, just think about leaning and over itll go. Other times im fighting the bars to countersteer and drop the shoulder.

Id also like to add, on a basic 2 lane road with many entry points and intersections for oncoming traffic to go left across you, hold a steady speed. People turning left across you are famous around here for thinking they can go, and get halfway into the intersection before they realize you...

well... this was short lived... Friend convinced me to buy a set of Cardo Scala Rider Q2 headsets (bluetooth bike2bike) so we can communicate on superslab trips out to the mountains and around the city. Got just enough left over for a FE kit. Let the money pit begin! But hey, lets keep the...
