Sorry but I have no basis of comparison as this is my first street style helmet. I can say that I do like it as far as fit and comfort. Airflow through the helmet is on the limited side but does work. I haven't found the need for ear plugs yet. Then again I like my music loud :rockon:

Not the same dude man. I did take the bike out for the maiden voyage. I filled the tank and let the bike come up to operating temps. I took it for a couple loops around the neighborhood then check all the nuts and bolts from the steering bearing install. All was well. I found some twisty back...

Your lucky. I was in the process of rebuilding my RC rockcrawler in the basement. I came home yesterday to find my sump pump not working and my lipo battery packs floating. All the electronics are toasted. I have a field stone basement with semi concrete floors. I had built an indoor RC rock...

I just might take the course but I have been riding all my life. My last bike was my DRZ setup for the street. I don't want to toot my own horn but I have better throttle control and braking control than most squids I see on the road. I had an LP many moons ago but never needed to ride with a...

Update: I finished the all balls steering bearings this evening. I had to make a quick run to Home depot to get a 1.25" steel tube to help me press the races in. Very simple install. I tightened the head nuts till I had no play and a slight preload on the bearings. I would imagine after a few...

Thanks for all the cheerful welcomes. I've been pouring over the bike lately and found my steering bearings are shot. I have a lot of play. Looks like I'm gonna order some all balls and tear into it. I'm trying to find a write up on the process but it should be easy enough. Oh and I just bought...

As for gear I am in the market now for some quality equipment. Sliders? On the hunt for those. Any other must have essentials?? BH I work in Chelmsford, bike night sounds easy for me. Thanks for the welcomes.

Just picked up an 04 FZ6 with 3400 miles for 2k. I'm excited not just for the bike but now I have an all new forum to read and post to.:cheer: I sold my 03 DRZ400 to fund the purchase of the bike. I've been riding dirt bikes and quads all my life. This is the first street bike. I like...
