    Anybody near Little Rock?

    I'm in Russellville, AR. A few hours of northwest of you. I tend to ride southwest and north of my area, but don't hardly venture towards your neck of the woods. If you're ever in the area, we might hook up for a ride up the pig trail or maybe over to Mt. Magazine.

    What clutch lever do you use?

    I have the CRG Shorty levers for the clutch and brake side. I do feel like they're smoother and give a little better feel for the friction zone, plus they are much more adjustable, but I don't feel like the pull is any easier. It's not any harder to pull the lever in, I just don't want you to...

    ~~~$$$The Recent Purchase Thread$$$~~~

    Totally agree. The Ram looks sick! Already blacked out my FZ, and I'd love to black out my truck, but it's white and it would take all kinds of money to get it like I would want.

    ~~~$$$The Recent Purchase Thread$$$~~~

    I just bought this wireless adapter since the one in my work laptop pooped out. (Already tried replacing the internal adapter with 4 different ones, so I'm assuming the motherboard has an issue with that connection.) I also just ordered some new shoes since the ones I'm wearing have a hole...

    Marchesini wheels

    It's been confirmed by this thread that 2009 R6 wheels will fit onto our beloved FZ6, so fitting the Marchesinis shouldn't be a problem. Please be sure to post pics if you end up installing them! :thumbup:

    Hello Fz6 Forum!

    Bleh, sucks having to back to MI to get the license. It's almost too easy to get in Arkansas. Going to school at the U of A? I took a few classes up there, my older sister and husband both graduated from there, and my little sister is starting school up there next spring. Good luck...

    Hello Fz6 Forum!

    :welcome: to the forum. Great resource for anything and everything FZ6 related. As said before, lots of different options for adjustability on the good ole FZ. Setback plates, ottimoto rearsets, rizoma rearsets, and different pegs are a few different options you have. Where are you...

    Best Exhaust Ever! 3/4 of the way Installed...

    Re: Best Exhaust Ever! Halfway Installed... Awesome! Be sure to post pics of the finished project; I'd love to see what the ole FZ looks like with a single undertail exhaust.

    New helmet/mods!!!

    Wow! That exhaust looks killer! I would love to have that on my bike, but MAN is it expensive!

    What First mods?

    I got my handlebar risers from ebay. The risers I have just put the handlebars up 1.2" higher, but they aren't "barbacks", so they don't move the handlebars any closer to you horizontally. They are better for taller people. I found this listing on ebay, which is exactly what I have.

    It's cold and rainy: what do you wear on your hands?

    I have these gloves and they've been pretty awesome. Although, I don't have a very long ride to work, and it's not like I've been riding much in the cold now that I bought the new truck. Good thing it's warmed up a little around here so I've been able to ride it a few times in the past few weeks.

    what HID's do you recommend?

    I have the DDM tuning HIDs in my bike and they are really good, only problem is that they don't come with a projector housing, it's just the bulbs. To have true HIDs, you'll need the projector housings, bulbs, and ballasts.

    I honestly thought that it was a picture of the bike in the dealership when I first glanced at the picture. Nice collection!

    Strange clicking noise in my new(ish) truck..

    So, I bought a new (to me) truck a few months ago and it's been a pretty good vehicle. It's an 06 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 4.3 V6. I got a pretty good deal on it, and I'll be using it to move in a few months and maybe to haul the bike somewhere and have an awesome ride (possibly to Deal's...

    2nd Try - 2008 maybe on the horizon

    07-09 FZs have 4 pot calipers instead of the older 2 pot calipers that came with the 04-06 models. Also, the newer generation FZs don't have any issues with the TPS, which was recalled for the 04-05 FZ6s. Nothing really specific to look for on these bikes, other than the general signs of wear...

    What did you do with your bike today?

    Rode mine into work today in the ~70 degree weather! Woohoo!

    streetfighter complete!

    That looks awesome! I've been curious as to what the FZ16 headlight looks like on a black FZ6. Hope you figure out the weird blinker issue! I bet it turns out to be something easy like a crimped wire.
