    Map of Metal!

    That's cool! It reminds me of a CD I have called True Kings of Norway which is a compilation of early EPs from Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, Emperor, Ancient and Arcturus. It has a flow chart inside showing how loads of black metal bands are linked by different members from those 5 bands. I can't...

    Hi another Brit here

    Cool, that's a good idea if there are enough FZ6ers in the area! Wow, I bet that was fun training during the winter :eek: The only local club I'm aware of is the Boundary 500 Club but I'm not a member. All my friends that have bikes don't live locally so it would be good to have some...

    Renthal handlebar

    Hi, I have Renthal bars and fitted the slim "Bike It" bar ends you posted in that link, except I got mine from here on eBay for £1 less :) I don't get any bad vibrations with them, but I didn't have that problem before fitting the bar ends anyway!

    close your gas cap without the key...for free of course

    Thanks for the info on this little mod, I can see it being useful because I'm always worrying that my keys will scratch the tank whilst they're dangling in the lock. Now all I need is a dremel.....

    Upshifting without the clutch

    I've been trying upshifting without the clutch above 2nd and I find it really easy and smooth! Does anyone else find the gearbox on the FZ6 to be clunky though (not particularly when clutchless shifting but in general)? I find it particularly clunky at low speeds ( < 30mph) and especially...

    I have just ordered one of those off eBay for £12 (about 15 Euros). Good to hear that it's good quality. Is it easy to mount on the bike?

    UK Tyres

    I've got Michelin Pilot Road 2 tyres on my bike, but I've not had it long and haven't pushed it to the limits since I've not long passed my test so I'm afraid I can't give a very helpful review of them. I'd be interested to see what other people run and what their opinions are of the...
