Posted this exact same question on the FZ1 side. But when I had my FZ6 I got a lot of good info here. So here is the question.
11 days till I head up to No Cal for a hwy 36 run. First day will be close to 500 miles up to Red Bluff spend the night. Leaving from Valencia Ca. Then hit the 36...
So after wrestling with the decision to sell my 06 FZ6 for a while I finally sold it today. In the 35,090 miles I had it the only problem I ever had was a dead battery. That's it. A great trouble free fun bike. But I know it's going to a good home. So I think I'll crack a cold one and think...
So after looking at a few bikes I decided to pull the trigger on this 06 FZ1 which was located about 15 miles from my place.
I have to say WOW!!! What a bike. I love my FZ6 and have put over 35,000 trouble free miles on it. Just a great machine. But this 06 FZ1 really opened my eyes as to...
Local pick up only. At least for a couple of weeks then I'll consider shipping.
Swingarm off 07 FZ6. Nice upgrade for the 04-06 FZ6 better chain adjusters and cleaner looking design. Swingarm has some scratches I got it used and never installed it on my bike. Scratches are cosmetic only not...
After work today went to start the bike to go home. Turned on the key flipped the kill switch to the on position and heard the fuel pump come on as usual. Hit the starter and the motor just turned over not even trying to fire. Went through this like five different times.
Finally took it...
Had to work in Beaumont today which gave me a opportunity to ride. Didn't get to do the ride I had planned due to a 30 min delay due to road construction in Big Bear and the short days we now have. I was able to get 300 miles in and get some pics so here we go.
Here is a link to the route...
Tried to do a Hwy 190 loop today but no bueno. Here is a link to the route. Had to turn around on the 190 due to the ice. But managed to salvage the ride via the 155 great day. My 340 mile loop turned into a 400 mile salvage run. Gotta love the unexpected. Here are some pics.

So decided to do a day trip today. Left at 08:00 got home around 18:00. Covered 432 miles. It was 29F up in Frazier in the morning BURRR!!! It did warm up my gear did well. First time my toes got cold!! Grip heaters really helped. There was snow on the ground!! It warmed up by the beach...
So after seeing Big Bad Brad's leather gear I finally got a leather jacket. Black Alpine Stars B-52 $219 otd at CG. Nice jacket my question is should I mink oil or apply anything to help protect the leather? I've always worn textile gear. Not really worried about rain live in So Cal and have...
So I got a new Leo Vince system for my 06. Started looking at my bike and realized there is no CAT on it. Then I realized that where the CAT should be mounted (bolted on segment) under the bike at the main header collector there is a welded section of pipe that extends to the last segment of...
So I picked up a 07 swingarm complete with everything needed to swap it out to my 06. Paid $125 thing is it's a little scratched up. Mostly just surface stuff nothing a little sanding couldn't take out.
Anyway I live in the LA area and I am wondering if anyone here has had any powder...
Just picked up a 07 swingarm that I'd like to get powder coated. Looking for a powder coating shop in the San Fernando Valley area of LA which is fairly close to me. Any suggestions?
After 26,000 miles of faithful service it was time to give my 06 FZ some love. We met in 08.

Thanks to ecudoc I finally got a toprack setup. It's a Shad SH45 now my baby's got back!!!
But really it's going to work out well for my commute. It will be nice to get rid of the Cortech Sport Tail Bag. Which actually worked out well but the weather was starting to eat it up and I needed...
So I have 27,000 miles on my chain. Got a couple of tight links it's time for a fresh chain.
My local guy want's $130 for a DID O Ring chain. Sounds fair to me total job will be around $160 to $170 Roys Cycle Service in Newhall Cal.
This is just for the chain. Normally I change out the...
