    Boneman - best wishes please.

    Give the Boneman our best. Odds are he'll be modding and/or improving their equipment while he's being taken care of :)

    It's freaking HOT!!!

    I hope most of you don't have to work out in this heat. Temps approached or reached 100 today again. Having to work outside, hydration is key. It is kinda fun to get home and see how much water weight I've dropped. 4 to 5 pounds seems to be the norm these days. It always feels coolest to...

    Can't decide

    My Bandit 400 had a stock CBR 600 undertail pipe fitted to it. The welds in the pipe to make it fit weren't exactly pretty, and the heat shields attached to it were ok. That being said, I loved perplexing people with my decal-less bike that did not look to be a 1991 year model at all...

    Stock seat, where do you sit on it?

    I find myself sitting on the more forward portion but not quite far enough to grind the ole tank. The seat is more narrow there and probably contributes to butt fatigue, but I like the overall feel of the bike better there. That may come from a couple years spent on a dirtbike. It just feels...

    Are you ever....

    The other day at work a group of riders showed up. Two of which were in full Hi Viz Dayglow gear. Not a stitch of protective crash gear tho. Helmets and the occasional pair of gloves in a group of approx 10. I just don't get it. I know they want to be seen, but yeah. I have a hard time...

    Time 4 New Tires-Suggestions?

    I have had my set of Diablo Stradas on for about 4k miles. I only have stock tires to compare them to and I am pleased. When I bought my Bandit she had Pilots on her. I rode them way past where I should have. I didn't have any issues with the tires tho.

    First Try

    Love the views of the mountains. Living in the Southern Appalachians I'm no stranger to mountains, but those make the ones around here look like hills :)

    Official Forum Shirts. Round 2

    I'd be down for an XL Blue, but if it is easier to do all black, I can be flexible :)

    Caught On HelmetCam

    I encounter some bad drivers from time to time on my rides. After watching your video, I feel fortunate to not have to deal with all the punks you guys across the pond have to deal with, it seems. Are drivers really that bad over there? Nuts!

    A video with my Eagle-1 sunglasses

    I hear you on that. Some of my other videos are much worse. It looks like I'm in the oncoming lane several times. :spank: I have a GoPro as well. I got it the same Christmas. If I ever get a good editing software, I think it would be fun to record with both and side-by-side the two in one...

    A video with my Eagle-1 sunglasses

    So for Christmas I got a pair of Eagle-1 video sunglasses. At first glance knowing my helmet and the fit of the glasses, I decided they would not work while riding. On a whim the other day I tried them out and they fit! There was some discomfort on my part, but it works. I've been recording...

    What other bikes have you ridden?

    1991 Bandit 400 (my first bike) my ass hated the bike, but I loved it for what it was. Lots of fun, just what I needed for a beginner bike. We all know about the FZ6, LOVE it. Others I have ridden: 2006 R6s - too much fun for me :) 2007 919 - very nice bike...smooth and predictable...

    NEED PICS: Givi engine guard/crash bars

    Well, rats. :( I was seriously considering the bars before work went to the pits. I am still on the fence. I don't have the $ so it makes it easy at the moment :) These intrigue me, but sadly they haven't gotten their hands on a FZ6 to make a set for our bike. :( Racing 905 Armor

    NEED PICS: Givi engine guard/crash bars

    I know I've seen pics of the bars you're interested in somewhere. This isn't the thread I had in mind, but the pics look pretty good. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/31685-givi-crash-bars.html I'm continuing to look :P...

    how long reserve fuel can move FZ6

    Since I don't recall responding to any of the other threads, I'll toss my 2cp in from experience. I'm going to be lazy and neglect to convert to km's tho. I beg your pardon in advance. The other day I stretched my reserve a bit too far. 38 miles and some odd tenths on reserve she started...

    Engine braking (slowing the bike down) is excessive

    My dad has an 07 919. I too noticed the difference in engine braking btwn the two bikes. I like it myself. Not that I dislike the 919. It's just a difference btwn the two bikes. Just my 2cp. Both bikes have a lot more engine braking than his 1980 CB750. :D
