    PCIII updated tuned map for '07 w/ 2 Bro's

    Like the title says, I have a Power Commander III USB on its way to my house! Finally!?! :rockon: So, I'm looking for a tuned map that is up to date for my bike, or one very close to my set-up. Yes, I know it wn't be perfect unless I tune MY bike, but it'll hopefully get me closer than a...

    1996 Honda XR400R (off-road) $2500 - Cleveland, SC

    They don't make 'em like they used to, and the XR400 is surely how they used to make 'em. It is powerful like a tractor and requires very little maintenance compared to new bikes. I have it geared down for running the goat-trails in the NC mountains (1 tooth smaller in front and 2 more in rear)...

    Pirelli Diablo's a good buy?

    Cycle Gear is closing out their Diablo Strada's for $220 a set! I think that's a great deal, and I've been reading quite a few good reviews of them on here. I personally wanted to go with the Road 2's, but I'd be looking at another $100 or so. I do need tires within the next couple of months...

    Cee Bailey's Windscreen '07+ FZ6

    For sale. It is clear, the middle size (11" taller & 4" wider). I'm too tall. If I were 5'10" or less it would be the PERFECT screen. I have to call it used because it was on my bike, but it has less than 200 miles on it. It is in as good of condition as brand new. New price is $150 +s/h. I'll...

    Loud Pipes Debate...

    Do I love to ride? You betcha! I’ve averaged ~900 miles per month for a little over 2 years on this bike now (same for my Katana for over 2 years prior). I have a 2 Brother’s exhaust on my ’07 Yamaha FZ6 and love it! I’ve heard that “loud pipes save lives” but never really ridden a loud bike...

    Conti Road Attack 4,000 mile review

    Just wanted to give a shout out and let all know that I'm still VERY happy with these tires. I have 4,000 miles on them now, and they are wearing pretty well. Rear are about half spent, which is what I'd expect. Front is wearing a little weird, with a few high-spots and low-spots around...

    are you a "lugger"?

    Do you lug your bike around town? Or are you a high-revver? Me...it's not uncommon that I'm too lazy to shift outta 6th as a approach a stoplight, slowing to as low as 12 mph and taking off again. Maybe that's why I get really good mileage and I see others getting poor? The FZ lugs down...

    black anodized footpegs & clutch lever

    I was able to throw a few parts in a batch of stuff I was having black anodized. Both sets of footpegs and clutch lever and adjuster. I can't believe how well the black parts matched the OEM mount! The darn front brake lever is chromed, so I had to paint it. I just drilled the...

    Cortech Scarab Winter Gloves

    Picked them up yesterday. Rode around last night for about 45 minutes, 45 degrees starting and only 40 by the time I got home. Never turned the heated grips on, so i figure they'll be pretty good in the colder temps. Comfort is pretty good, I'm hoing they won't be as stiff on my knuckles...
