Haven't posted here in a while but the FZ6 is going to a new home and I have some parts for sale.
First up is a Shad Top Rack. Couple extra holes have been drilled to fit some different mounting plates but it's been good to me!
Asking $50 SOLD
Also have Givi Tubular side racks and...
I rock the Scorpion hat trick. Not 100% mesh, but enough mesh to keep you cool. It has two removable liners, one wind/waterproof and one thermal that dont make the jacket too bulky, even with both of them in. One of my favorite features is that the jacket has a higher collar for wet or colder...
Just wanted to let everyone know that rickawd was awesome to deal with, and answered any questions I had extremely fast... Sent my payment and he shipped the next morning!
:thumbup:
Yeah, I've got a couple of things in the works... I've got some hyperlites from my old scoot to hook up, but I've got some other ideas as well..
I'd like to avoid mounting anything permanently to the case, but we'll see.
The rack itself was around $120 from cycleluggage.com and the cases can...
I was going to make this a how to, but I got kind of side tracked with the project and forgot to take the "how to" type pictures so I'll just post some details about the install and, of course, pics!

As far as the shad rack goes install is a little tricky and I highly recommend having...
It is very easy and doesn't take too long at all really. I didn't make the switch due to wear issues, but rather because changing the final drive ratio allows you to tweak how the bike behaves at a given rpm range. It makes the power more "usable." Going down one tooth in front is said to be...
On the good ole SV my oil change interval was..... whenever the trans started to feel notchy. LOL Always used Rotella and never had any troubles.
Then I got a Duc and was like "this premium bike needs premium oil." Yeah, I did that for one oil change and went back to Rotella again with no...
I added model year info to the original post. If anyone knows socket nut sizes for the previous gen bikes I can add that as well.
Also the impact wrench that I got was right around $35. It's been real nice to have considering I have a little whimpy air compressor.
[Edit] I searched and couldnt find a definite how to on this... If this is a dupe or already covered let me know!
[Edit2] This install was done on a 2008 FZ. I believe 06 and older bikes may need different size sockets, but the process is essentially the same.
This is my first write up so if...
So I was cruising through some how-tos, etc on my break at work when I go to log in to comment.
Wtf? My PW isn't correct? Let's try this again; making sure I'm only typing with my index fingers (you know, so I know I'm hitting the right keys!:D )
Nothing... WTF? Did something happen...
Just dropping my own personal "hello" thread! (Sorry, semi long first post!)
Been lurking here for a while but only recently picked up an FZ as my 4th bike (not at the same time, that'd be the life!) I traded in my 2004 Monster S4R for the FZ + cash. I was looking for a more practical...
