    Weekend ride report w/ pics

    Did I mention the bugs? This is just from after lunch in Asheville I LOVE these Bridgestone BattleAxe BT-016 tires!!! The multi-compound tires stick!!! Look at how soft the outsides of the tread are! Barely any chickenstrips (edges of tire that hasn't touched pavement) left on the...

    Weekend ride report w/ pics

    some scenery... Here's a crazy sign you see once in a while: And this afternoon we completed our goal destination with the threat of afternoon showers, which proved to be non-existent. Grady doesn't have any raingear, and thought about heading home at 215, but he decided to brave...

    Weekend ride report w/ pics

    Here's where we stayed the 2nd night. Cheap lodging ($59 for the night), but the restaurant was pretty expensive, even with the 10% discount for staying... I don't know that I"d recommend it though. IT was in the middle of nowhere, and it was OLD. It had the old smell, and the saggy...

    Weekend ride report w/ pics

    The next morning (Sat. 7/25) it was off to ride Skyline Drive. Didn't realize it was going to cost us each $10, but oh well. WELL worth it! Also didn't know the speedlimit was only 35 mph for the full length, but that was fine too. (since we didn't see any rangers...) If you see any black...

    What do you haul/carry?

    I had that same bag, twice. You can fit TONS of stuff in it expanded :rockon: . the first I let go with my katana. The second one didn't hold up too well and I used the lifetime waranty to replace it with a higher quality FirstGear, albeit a bit smaller. I've fit a gallon of milk and another 2...

    '07+ fender brackets for R6 fork conversion

    oso2k pretty much said it all, and included THE link for this swap! 1. performance is AWESOME!!! By far the best/most worthwhile mod you can do on this bike. No more brake dive! It sticks to the road much better and instills much more confidence. 2. Need new wheels spacers, brake caliper...

    '07+ fender brackets for R6 fork conversion

    I missed the "S". they are designed for hte '06 R6S forks that I have. I believe you're correct in that the '04-'06+ standard style forks are the same.

    Upgrade FZ6 to FZ6R

    For sure! Just get a fairing kit if that's really what you want. The "R" is a completely different bike, with nothing really the same...

    Specs needed for bar end weight design.

    If I remember correctly, Our bar-ends actually go under our grips, so grips are glued to the bar ends. Otherwise I'd yank mine off and measure for ya.
