I've never had side tank pads, but would like to give them a try. Dropping $75 for a set of SnakeSkins seems dumb, but the cheaper FZ6 alternatives get bad ratings. I'm liking the idea of clear instead of black, but can't find any for Fz6. I see a lot of clear options for other bikes for...

Front forks are from an R6 swap. That bike's an S1.

The rear is definitely on my radar. I just need to let the wallet cool off a bit first (or I'll have my own Big D to manage!). ;)

I've been a lurker on here for a couple years and thought I'd try to finally contribute instead of just sucking knowledge from you guys, so here goes... As I anxiously await the Michigan weather to warm back up and dry out, I've been tinkering with my bike to pass the time. Yesterday, I...

Barthups, What year is your bike? If '07+, you'll need: - The correct year R6 forks (lots of threads explain this. I have no idea what year the gold ones were of if they fit.) - R6 front axle and the bolt (there is no axle bolt on the stock FZ6 because it threads into the FZ6 shocks) -...

Thanks for the advice, FinalImpact. I read a TON of your posts on this topic before taking the plunge and you were a big part of giving me the confidence to attempt it. I'm super excited to start playing with the suspension settings. Now I'm just waiting for the stupid weather to warm back...

Even with those high miles, that's an amazing price for a great bike. Good luck!

I recently re-read all five big trip posts you made. I'd just like to say Thanks for letting me live vicarously through your adventures. It was a great read (again!). I'm looking forward to the next one!

I'll take it!

Hi all, I bought the R6 forks and brakes from Tom here on the forum. They came with R6 calipers, axle and shims. The forks were just rebuilt with new seals and had 1kg springs installed, which are perfect for my fat self (220lbs). I then spent over a month drooling over the parts because...

I'm finally home from business travel and fixed my brakes yesterday. Since everyone took the time to help me with suggestions, I figured I owed you guys an update. While away, I ordered another vacuum hand pump kit from Amazon. This one came with a nice carrying case, so hopefully I won't...

Thanks to both of you for your comments. I definitely don't think it's the MC since it was working up until the minute I drained it. I'll break down and buy yet another vacuum pump to pull the fluid into the system (then properly bleed it using pressure afterwards). Thanks for the Harbor...

Hello all, I've been a daily lurker for a long time, but this is probably my first actual thread. I've learned a ton from you guys over the years, but I'm stumped on this one. I did the R6 fork swap onto my 2006 FZ6. The swap went super smoothly (I still need to fashion some fender...

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but the photos don't work and I'm really curious to see what the idea was for cutting the bottle to make a shield. Does anyone have the pics or an idea of what it was? I tried something similar once, but it didn't work well. Anyway...

I think that trim piece looks fantastic! Very nice.

I have an '06. Can you tell me what else I'd need to complete the installation? (ie. Fender spacers, etc.). I'm in Michigan though, so shipping would be required. Also, I weigh about 220lbs.. Would the 900lb rear spring be good for me? Sorry for the stupid questions.
