The Yamaha top case and rack use the Monolock system. I suspect any Monolock case will work with the Yamaha rack.

Using your suggestion I was able to find some statistics. 2008 Motorcycle Statistics - webBikeWorld Of particular interest is the "motorcycles in use worldwide" table. Unfortunately the data for the U.S. is not as current as the other countries in the table. Now I see why Europe gets...

Can someone explain to me why the U.S. consumer gets the shaft when it comes to motorcycle selection? I've been helping my friend shop for a new bike and it is becoming very frustrating. Unless you want a crotch rocket or a cruiser you are very limited in your options. Throw in the fact that...

Nice!!!! Did you shorten the center stand as well or just the side stand? I'd love to lower my bike an inch but it seems like cutting down the stands would be a pain.

Did you use the included super glue to install your grips? I bought them but I'm considering using a two-part epoxy that doesn't set as fast in case I screw up putting them on.

In Virginia we also get our license for passing the MSF course. As others have stated I felt qualified to drive around the parking lot after it was done. Everybody in my class passed, which surprised me because a couple of people had real trouble with the skills test. I logged over 100 miles...

I recently purchased a Corbin Gunfighter for my '08. I don't have a problem with sliding around. The seat is firmer than the stock seat but it is definitely a higher quality product. So far I'm pleased with the Corbin seat. A lot of people have reported bad customer service with Corbin but...

I got mine yesterday and installed it today. I'm just as pleased with the wire I received as everyone else. Works great. I noticed a missing bolt on my bike during the install! One of the bolts that holds the top of the battery case and air box down was missing. Either Yamaha or my dealer...

Yeah, I don't expect them to change anything but it made me feel better to complain (ugh, I'm starting to sound like my wife). Anyway, I couldn't find an email address for them on the web site, just a phone number and snail mail address. Thanks for the link to that top case blantonator...

I liked the look and size of the Yamaha case better than any of the Givi models I saw. I was seriously considering a Shad as well but kept going back to the OEM model.

Usually the best way to ensure that it won't rain is to bring all your gear! At least that's how it works for me on the golf course. :thumbup:

The only thing keeping me off the bike these days is the rain! I'm on the VA side in the Reston area but I rode out to Shenandoah this weekend and had a nice trip. I've got some heated grips on the way which should extend the riding season too!:thumbup:

I'm a new FZ6 owner (<600 miles so far) and I love the bike. However, I am disappointed about the lack of OEM accessories available to us in the U.S. while Canada and Europe can get all the cool stuff. Anyway, I called the customer relations line today and told them how I felt about this...

Here's another source for OEM parts. I ordered a new mirror on a Saturday night online and had it on my bike on Thursday. Intertstate Cycle Online - 866-385-7015 OEM Yamaha Suzuki Aprilia Vespa Parts, Accessories, Tires and Gear at wholesale prices.

Will Novus work to fix these scratches on the matte black plastic piece of the fairing (Yamaha calls it the MOLE piece)? Or is that stuff just for shiny plastic?

I bought the handguards on ebay ~$30 but I've also seen them at my local shops. If they carry any dirt bike accessories they will probably have these as well.

Here are some pics. Sorry for the bugs/dirt on the bike. :rockon: ...uh, and the missing left mirror (on order), doh! You can see in the 3rd photo that the bars are in the lock position and the handguard is still not touching the fairing.

I installed the Powermadd Handguards (Star series) on my 08 FZ6. You have to buy the guards and mount kit separately but I found the mount kit on twistedthrottle.com for $7.50. I have the sw-motech bar riser/barback installed and I can turn the bars fully and lock them as well. Without the...
