    VS1 install time?

    The VS2 kit came and the install was fairly easy (no directions inside?) So with a little paint and some pinstripe tape this is what it looks like...(better pics to come)

    Fresh Paint Job??

    Ok, so I started the paint job last night and this is what I have so far. I went with a yellow on the side ans left the factory black down the middle. I plan to add a white stripe to break the two colors. I also think I am go to add the "road" stripe on both sides.

    Bike shop should be ashamed

    I think the Ninja 250 and new 300 need to be given more credit especially by the new riders. I have ridden both and think they are a blast to ride (I enjoy the back road twisties not doing 130mph on the highway). The Ninja 250 was never anything special to look at but while riding a 300 I was...

    Thanks I will take a look at that site. I am also thinking maybe going with the red and white as opposed to the yellow and black? I am still undecided. I need to spend a little time on Photoshop editing.

    Fresh Paint Job??

    I am thinking about freshening up my naked 05 FZ6 with a new paint job. I am thinking of painting the tank, fender, and rear side panels in a classic Yamaha yellow.

    Mesh Jacket + Winter = Cold

    I had a similar experience today. I looked outside and saw the sun was out a bit here in North NJ and thought it was a good time to get my new to me FZ out for a short ride. The sun was out but the temp was only 40. I did not dress properly and made it about 20 minutes before I turned around and...

    Trail Tech Speedo

    Ok, so I am going to try a cheaper alternative first. Since I have an iPhone 5 with a speedo/odometer app I decided to purchased a bar mount for my lifeproof case for $40. The lifeproof case is water proof and the bar mount has a locking feature that does not allow the phone to release do to...

    How to secure bike in pickup truck?

    If I have a wide enough ramp and feel comfortable I will slowly ride it up or I will start it, put it in 1st and use the motor as I walk next to it. Important to know you can either make the jump into the bed or have something to step up with lol

    How to secure bike in pickup truck?

    I simply put the side stand down and tie down from the handle bars, 1 strap from each side to the lower hooks in my bed. I don't even tie the back down and never had a problem.

    Trail Tech Speedo

    I just purchased my first fz6 that had a broken speedo and I am looking for a cheaper way to replace it rather than buying new from the factory. Has anyone installed a trailtech Vapor or similar speedo on their FZ?

    Naked Headlight with windscreen?

    I just picked up my first FZ6 with 7500 miles the only problems were the fairing and speedo were broken in a slow speed crash. I have stripped everything and am now looking for a naked style headlight that I can add a windscreen to. Does anyone have a set up with a windscreen or opinions?
