Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've been on the site. Unfortunatley it's been a year since I was laid off and I've been spending a big part of my time job searching and networking. Some of you responded when I first posted a year ago and I really appreciate all of your efforts.
Once...

After being unemployed for a year unfortunately I need the money more than the bike. The bike has been garage stored since purchased new. It only has 3175 miles. I've installed a battery tender lead up to the front of the tank for easy charging. I've also added a...
Well for the second time in 5 years I was laid off. It sucks. You think you're starting to see the fruits of your years of hard work, only to get it all ripped away just short. If only the stock market hadn't crashed 3 years ago I might have enough to go into semi-retirement. But as it is I will...
I bought a new FZ6 this year after 5 years of riding cruisers and have to say I have really enjoyed the FZ for 75% of my riding. But there is an issue. I do not enjoy riding it on the highway as I find it very light weight and much more easily pushed around by crosswinds and truck blasts...
I had a low side on Monday and luckily both me and the bike came out with some very minor scratches. rode the bike home with no problem. But as I was riding home it appears the handlebars may be a bit twisted to the right.
The bike rode fine, it did not pull and tracked perfectly straight so...
I do believe me and the FZ need to come to an understanding on the need to stay upright. Now I can assure everyone that I am not a hooligan, but I can also tell everyone (especially beginners) that sport/Sport Tourer bikes do not tolerate anything less than 100% attention and will bite you if...
I have the harness from BD43 and I'm not a total wonk when it comes to working on the bike. I've already mounted soft bags and frame sliders. But I'm a bit intimidated with the idea of taking apart the airbox ( actually it's the putting it back togehter that people seem to have had some issues...
A number of years ago I had a Suzuki Savage that had a seat that everyone complained made you slide forward. It made the seat uncomfortable to ride for more than an hour. Someone came up with a simple inexpensive mod where you raised the front clamp for the seat with some inexpensive nylon...
I just bought a set of Cortech Sport Saddlebags. I did a search and found an install thread, but it shows putting the straps over the top of the passenger seat.
I was wondering if it is possible to mount these with the straps under the seat? I'm looking for the cleanest install and to leave...
Just put a deposit down on an 09 FZ6 so I thought I'd stop by and say hello. I'll probably be asking a few questions about risers, seat, windshield, luggage adn other upgrades soon. So please be patient with me. I promise to do a forum search before I ask.
Hope to pick it up a week from...
