    Fantasy Football Anyone?

    I have total of 7 players interested at the nickel and dime level. I only need one more to fill out an 8 team league. If anyone else is interested, send my your email address and I'll invite you to the espn league page and to the leaguesafe.com site where you pay your 10 bucks.

    Fantasy Football Anyone?

    I am putting together a low cost espn hosted league. I created a league with 8 teams: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DST, 5 reserves. Mostly we will use default scoring. Regular season will be 14 weeks. There will be 2 playoff weeks. 2 divisions based on draft order (evens versus odds). ESPN...

    Metisse lowering kit

    I am 5' 8". I found that I can actually now stand flat footed in tennis shoes if I scoot all the way to the gas tank. Sitting back in a normal riding position, I get both feet firmly on the ground but not my heels. As of yet, I have not lowered the front of the bike. A previous post asked...

    Metisse lowering kit

    I measured the height of the center of the brightness band just in front of the bike and then the center of the brightness band on the back of the garage at about 23 feet in front of the bike. The center of the brightest band was about 8 inches higher than just in front of the bike. I adjusted...

    Metisse lowering kit

    Re: Metisse lowering kit - Headlight Alignment and Kickstand I completely agree. I said in a previous post that it looks like it should cost $25 at the most. I really didn't know what I was going to get when I ordered it. On the plus side, it did what it was supposed to do.

    Metisse lowering kit

    Re: Metisse lowering kit - Headlight Alignment and Kickstand I have driven the bike at night (last night) and didn't notice a difference with the rear end being lowered an inch and not lowering the front. You asked a very good question though. I will check my alignment tonight. I don't...

    Lowering kit for 2007 FZ6?

    Here are the pics of the lowering kit installation. I'll try to add some pics of the kaoko throttle lock this weekend. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/6037-metisse-lowering-kit-2.html#post82579

    Metisse lowering kit

    Okay, here are the pics I took with my cell phone from my Metisse lowering kit installation: You don't get much for $195 delivered. I think that the white plastic washer serves little to no use and was just added so that they can call it a "kit". The first step in the installation is to...

    Metisse lowering kit

    I installed this "kit" on Tuesday. You don't get much for $195 delivered. It is a new end for your rear shock and a plastic washer. It took a couple hours to install. The most difficult task were getting the original end of the shock off and pressing the bearing out of it and then pressing...

    Lowering kit for 2007 FZ6?

    I just installed the Metisse Lowering Kit on my FZ6 last night. It was not an easy task. It does not make your rear shock longer, like someone said in a previous post. It makes it shorter. You don't get much for almost $200 bucks delivered. It's pretty much just a new end for you shock...
