It will fit, but it will damn near feel like you will break the tail to get it in. I also put in a smoke LED brake light. I just kept messing with the angle, and pushed on it hard. Then I replaced that tail with a new tail, and had to repeat the process. As with anything, push on the firmest...

Changing them oils! Get them seals reeeeeal good too

I could use the radiator guard :thumbup:. Sending PM now.

Good advice as always. As much as I want to be frugal about this rebuild, and to a point have been, $200 in more parts is still worth it. Now to go find out what else is fubar'd on this bike :spank:. Ninja edit: Remember the FZ1 fender that was zip-tied to the forks? Oh it was better then I...

I posted a little while ago about having S1 brakes on an S2 bike. With some educating, I found out I have an 08 FZ6 with an S1 front end. Well screw that noise, I'm rebuilding the front end for the R6S conversion with '07 FZ6 brakes. Today's question/problem/obstacle is my lower triple tree...

I'm back helpful people on the internet! Finally got me some money back thanks to American Express. Keeping that card foooorever now. Parts are on order, and I'll likely have a new thread as I'm replacing the forks with R6S forks, and jumping up to the 07-09 calipers. Why replace the forks...

Fully retracted and I haven't pumped the brake lever yet? Haven't tried specifically that yet. At the last time I had my hands on it, once the calipers are on and the bolts are loosely on (hand loose) there was drag to where the wheel could only do a 1/2 spin. If I tighten those bolts to spec...

Tons of useful info in here guys, I really appreciate all the help. As there is plenty to do for my bike I'm gonna try to narrow down my exact issues on the front wheel. Though Townsend I'm betting you are right about rebuilding/replacing the calipers. The brakes can be fully bolted to the...

Tried to get back the deposit through PayPal, PayPal told me to suck rocks cause I didn't go through Ebay. I saw the bike on CL first and had already started talking to the guy when I noticed he also had an Ebay listing. Edit: Called PayPal to find out more of why they denied the claim...

Not so much weird as poor workmanship. Not sure if you guys can see this link to the old Ebay listing for it. I didn't buy it necessarily for all the mods, I just wanted a good running naked bike at the right price. Got what I paid for :(.

Damn good eye. Its an FZ1 fender off an '05, at least I was told. Various parts of the bike have been painted as well. I only know the history from the last seller, and I'm not sure its truthful. The VIN shows a 2008 manufacturing year so I have that. For the brakes in question, he simply...

Since I've been out of bikes for 5ish years, all the forks look the same to me now! Ha. The pic definitely resembles the bottom portion of my forks. I won't be able to confirm until I'm in person with the bike though. By chance, you don't have a pic of S1 Forks like that? For comparison.

Didn't even think to look at the spacers. Appreciate the advice so far though. I'll try to grab a pic of the forks tomorrow. The bike has a neat streetfighter conversion on it (my avatar pic is the bike), i think the VS02 headlight? And it's fairings have been removed. It's just all done...

Think that title made sense, I'm learning as I go. Recently bought a used '08 FZ6. After the first 10 mile ride the front brakes seemed a bit squishy, and I decided to take them apart and clean them. Problem No.1; the bolts holding the caliper to the fork were hand loose. Yup, I loosened all 4...
