But if I change out the sprockets and gun it, won't that make it harder to keep the front wheel down?? It already feels light and has a tendency to lift up every time I full throttle it.....
My old bike never had that problem... ofcourse it was much heavier..... I can't stand my front wheel...
I very rarely ride with my slaps on!! Those were just for the picture at the house:D.
I agree with Biker Bill about being a better biker to get the full utility out of a better bike; however, jacking the throttle back for quicker acceleration is something I've pretty much gotten good at...
I really enjoy my FZ6. Here's what I've done:
Racetech fork springs (1kg)
Power Commander 3 with custom map
Air box modification (completely removed nozzle, and as much extra plastic as possible)
Two Bros. Exhaust
Fender eliminator, and I kept the license plate light on (just a little...
Good Comfort; Decrease in performance

The chrome thing is the new horn.... I didn't know that it came in black.
I can't remember where I got the mirror block off plates, I think I just googled it.
I've made some cool mods on my bike:
2 bros. exhaust, pc III with custom map, stebel airhorn, integrated tail light blinker, bar end mirrors, .....and not shown- I took off all the stickers and painted those 2 pieces of plastic under the seat flat black.
I had a 1700cc Yamaha warrior, but...
Top Rack with Two Bros. Exhaust...
