Here is the difference in angle at the ends....The 2009 FZ6R bar is the top one, stock 2007 FZ6bar is the bottom one...the one inch less pullback makes a big difference just sitting on the bike now......just need some...

    Erik Buell Racing Established

    seriously...IMHO Erik Buell Racing sounds like a black hole he is going to toss all of his remaining money into. They will be providing motorcycles and support for machines that are only elegible in AMA racing, and even at that, elegible for how long? Yeah yeah, I know is can run in CCS, WERA...

    Anybody Know about Motoguzzi???

    had a 2002 model. Unless you know how and REALLY want to work on bikes, don't buy one. Paint finish and durability is average to poor. Fuel injection quality is far below anything on a Japanese bike. The final drive WILL eventually leak. The new 4 valve head motors have experienced lifter...
