    Ohlins install

    I think you can put it under the seat, but I'm not sure. I got a killer deal on mine, but it happens to be for the earlier model years. All they did for our '07 & newer bikes was rotate the fitting a little, but I thik it makes quite a difference in the fitment. That hose is STIFF!

    Bridgestone BT016 Review

    I was meaning to give another of my $.02 on these tires. I've also got around 5k on them now, and they're squaring off worse than ony other tire I've owned (quite a few). I'll try something a little harder compound next time, like the BT-021's or the Pilot Road 2's. That said, I don't think...

    Cee Bailey's Windscreen '07+ FZ6

    For sale. It is clear, the middle size (11" taller & 4" wider). I'm too tall. If I were 5'10" or less it would be the PERFECT screen. I have to call it used because it was on my bike, but it has less than 200 miles on it. It is in as good of condition as brand new. New price is $150 +s/h. I'll...

    Anyone experience this???

    I have the RF-1000 too, and I never close my visor vent. I'll get little bugs coming in thru it once in a while, no where near half the time though!

    9/26 Mt. Mitchell Ride

    I've never heard somebody consider the BRP slabfest... It gets us closer to home though, and in shorter time. My friend's baby is due in a couple weeks, so we don't want to be gone ALL day. Thansk for the input though. I've ridden that section before and it is fun for sure. Hope you can...

    Which one would you buy?

    I havn't ridden an SV, but my friend used to have one and he rode with me a good bit. The SV can't touch the FZ in acceleration, but he could still take me in the corners, all because of ability. I really dont' think you'd be dis-satisfied with either one. I ride around 900 miles per month...

    I just love my new Pilot Road 2

    Same here...I'm going thru withdrawls not having ridden in a week! So I cleaned it and wrenched on it lastnight :D I'm lovin' my BT-016's, but not getting the mileage I was hoping for, and they don't fall into turns as easily as the Conti RoadAttacks. I'm seriously considering these PRII's...

    Which one would you buy?

    That's a pretty good price on that FZ6. I like Cali-Rider's comments. That said, with my experience now (all good w/ FZ6), I'd like to try out the FZ1 and see how I like it ;-)

    Winter Gear

    It won't quit, unless you really have MAJOR draw on it maybe, but it just wouldn't start again. You'd have to have an aweful lot of stuff running to get it drawn down that far in a long day or 2 of riding though...

    Winter Gear

    yeah, cold hands seem to make the whole body cold...kinda like little radiators :rolleyes: textile vs. leather: Heat... I dunno, probably leather price: textile by a mile weight: textile rain: textile all the way balaclava makes a HUGE difference!!! Not sure what the thing under...

    Winter Gear

    I've tried that, inside & outside of my regualr gloves, and it made no difference at all. I was EXTREMELY surprised!!! I didn't figure it would trap the heat as much as keep out all cold air blowing thru, but it just made no difference at all... :(

    Winter Gear

    Oh yeah, I am currently looking for a bigger windscreen as well, something to keep the wind up & over me, off my chest and thighs. That should help significantly. the handguards are almost a waste...

    If you were freezing at 53, you're in trouble... Here's what I wear: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/9413-cold-weather-riding-gear.html I set a new personal record last winter...

    Worried about the paint

    That's what I did, and it works great! In a pinch, you could just used a couple layers of high-quality 3M packaging tape too...

    9/26 Mt. Mitchell Ride

    TENTATIVELY scheduled…depending on weather and a friend's baby situation mostly. Pace will be fairly spirited (~5-10 over limit, holding thru corners). For those that live in NC, contact me if you’re interested when the time gets closer and I’m sure we can meet up somewhere. Meet at...

    Need tire help...

    I run these roads all the time (not Gap specifically, but NC/SC mtn roads) and the Bridgestone BT-016's work awesome!!! I'd have to be riding WAY over my head to get them to break loose. I just wish they had a little easier/quicker turn-in. That said, I'm still considering trying the Road 2's...

    Knowledge & Perception Test

    10/10 for signs on medium speed 18/20 for the collosion on medium speed. I don't like that some questions are not clear. The one that got me was in a construction zone and asked about hazards, and all 3 were present hazards... Oh well, I think I did pretty well.
