Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy week. I'll PM you with a quote in just a minute. You were in first, so you'll have priority SomeRider, if he doesn't want it, then they're still available. The bike is an '07.

Feel free to make an offer on any of this stuff if you're interested. Pics: Throttlemeister: In the last picture, you can see that there's some residue on the throttle insert piece. This happens after a few uses. Like I said, I only used for about a week, so it should be fine...

$121/year for basic liability through Progressive. I've been riding for 3 years with 1 not-at-fault accident. When I got a quote for my Ninja 500 when I started riding at 20, Allstate and GEICO were quoting me like $300 a year for the same coverage. Progressive won in a landslide.

I'll get a quote when I get home this evening. Can you PM me your zip code?

I've got a few parts that I don't need anymore for various reasons. I'll try to get pictures up tomorrow. I'm shipping from San Antonio, TX, prices don't include shipping cost. Paypal is preferred. Throttlemeister Heavy (14oz) Bar Ends - $120, Black/Silver (They're $170ish from...

Interesting. Never liked the idea of a crossplane crankshaft for a street bike. Sure, it should give better performance on the high end, but doesn't seem like it'd be useable on the street and would just make it vibrate more. But it sounds like it'll be a fun ride in any case. Also, surely the...

For me, it's not so much the lean angle, it's the sweep. It's more aggressive than the natural angle of most people's wrists I guess (mine at least), so you end up either restricting circulation to your hands or straightening out your wrists, in which case all the weight goes right on the ball...

UPDATE: Installed the bars pretty easily, including drilling holes for the control box pegs. With risers, I think these bars would be problematic, although not impossible, to mount. I'm not using risers though and they fit great. Riding position surprisingly feels a lot like the FJ-09 now...

I went ahead and ordered the Daytona bars. I'm not planning on using them with risers. I think they'll be plenty tall enough and it seems like things should still all fit. *fingers crossed* I probably will end up drilling the bars to accommodate the controls. I had a control box on my Ninja 500...

+1 on Posi-taps. Every other way to tap into an existing wire always feels like a mistake. If you want to go the relay route, a somewhat more expensive but really clean way to go is something like this: 3 Circuit That one has room for 3 fused accessory circuits, but they have a 1 circuit...

Ok thanks. I'm torn on that, but I'd probably end up grinding the tabs off. Someone on this forum several years ago said they fit these bars with like 1.5" risers, so I'm assuming I could fit them without risers just fine, but we'll see. EDIT: This is thread I was referencing...

Sorry for yet another handlebar thread, but I could only find a couple of really old posts that mentioned these particular bars. As mentioned many times on this forum, the sweep angle of the stock bars is really bad for long distance riding. I'm getting ready for a big trip in a couple of weeks...

Your username is quite fitting given Houston's current state. lol. Congrats though. Hope things clear out there soon, stay dry!

Not sure if these will come out well on the forum or not. Here it goes... Edit: Is there a way to make them not be like, small thumbnails?

I'm thinking about replacing the stock grips with something with maybe thicker and softer rubber to give a little more cushion and damp some of the high frequency vibes. Anyone have an aftermarket grip set that you'd recommend?

Arrived this morning, ahead of schedule. Only got to take it on a quick errand before I had a long list of obligations to attend to. It's fantastic. I don't know why I ever wanted to stay on my Ninja 500 for good lol. Pictures tomorrow hopefully.

Not really, but I do have some semblance of a personal connection with the seller, albeit several degrees removed. One of those friend-of-a-friend kind of things. They're trustworthy people. Although that's probably what everyone on the Internet has said before getting scammed lol.

I know I mentioned this here previously, but I recently got a good deal on a garage-kept '07 FZ with only 2500 miles on it. I had it shipped here from across the country and after like a month of trying to sort everything out, it's finally going to get here sometime this weekend! I'm pretty...

I'm looking at getting some soft saddle bags for a long trip on the FZ6. I had some Sedici bags on my old Ninja 500, but they're pretty much disintegrated by now. I've heard good things about the Cortech bags and I think they'd fit my needs nicely. My question is which one will work best with...

After flipping back and forth several times, I finally decided to ship it. There were just too many moving parts in my schedule to get the logistics right. Thanks for all the input. Hopefully within the next few weeks I'll be in possession of an FZ6!
