Would've entered the BOTM if it wasn't shut down (apparantly), but I can show off here, nevertheless:D

So, I had an unpleasant meeting with a cager last autumn and had my old tank dented and a whole lot of other things screwed up. Mostly cosmetic, and I did try to figure out the tank (the orange one) by bashing it in and turning the original handlebars up side down. Well... It was extremely...

Ok, so... I have this fuel tank that's "customized", which I did after my crash to fit my inverted bars. Anyway, as it is now, it's not 100% smooth, hence any clear coat would enhance any irregularities. I have used fibreglass and stuff like that and sanded the crap out of it, but still it's...

Hi guys! Yesterday I noticed this grinding noise from the real wheel while reversing the bike, and I immidiately thought it was the chain or sprockets. I changed that last year, so I realized it couldn't be, and the chain is allways well lubed. After cleaning the bike thoroughly, that noise...

...so I made a new one! Story begins like this: Capo figures his projector lense on his FZ6 isn't good enough. Browses the Interwebs and by chance ends up finding a website, HID Xenon Kit, Xenon Lamp, Digital Ballast, Angel-Eye Bi-Xenon Lens, HID Flashlight, Offroad HID, Work Light, that...

Was lane splitting at relatively slow speeds into a roundabout, when the lady to my left suddenly decided to go right, without using a signal. Got my leg pinched between her bumper and the bike, got some sort of a high-side, tumbled over the bike and slid probably four or five meters onto the...

So, I have found a set of clip-ons that used to be on an FZR. Got them next to free, so why not. Won't know if they will work until I try, so... They'll probably get here on Monday:thumbup:

As the title says: How did you do it, and what kind of stuff did you use to make the powder coating go away?

Will take a few pics tomorrow, as it was dark when I was finished with the stuff I did tonight:rolleyes: I have lowered the front end by 10 mm, I mounted the much wanted bellypan (Puig) a few weeks ago but haven't shared any real pics of the bike with that on yet. I have also painted the rad...

Of course, they are from my buddy and mine's last weekend trip around some of the most beautiful parts of Norway. The trip took us three days, with a total of 1400 km's. 1200 meters above sea level and only 15 degrees c: Twisties in the highlands:thumbup: Note the glacier in the...

I just ordered a black Puig bellypan:BLAA: Ordered it from the UK now, and I guess it will be here waiting for me when I return from Africa:thumbup: (Feeling like a little kid on Christmas eve allready)

Poll away! I've added a belly pan which I plan to aquire in the near future. (Edit: I added the green version, but I seem to be unable to add that option to the poll).

Waddaya think? I'm not sure yet, whether I want to keep the original, or replace it with the shorter one...:confused: The process was quite simple. Used the original screen as a template on top of a 1,5 mm poly-carbonate plastic sheet. I cut out the shape using a Dremel (which is a...

The shop measured valve clearance, and all of them were well within the limits, so it wasn't necessary to adjust any of them:thumbup: Further, as they measured the syncronization of the throttle bodies, it turned out that only minor adjustments had to be done. I must say that I'm pretty...

Quite happy with the result, despite I painted it myself with spay paint:BLAA: Trick is to paint it several times, wet sand it, rub it, polish, and then polish it some more. Now it is as reflective as a mirror, and I got rid of that nasty orange peel:thumbup: The attached pics are crap and...

On my way to the doctor today (my finger's broken), I was waiting for the green light at an intersection. Sitting there in my own thoughts, my bike suddenly jumps forward 20 cm. Waddaya know: A guy in his 60's in a Jag actually ran into me from behind:spank: WTF??? Real men drive cars with...

So, when I got the bike one and a half years ago, it came with what I thought was a not so good looking mini fairing. It's aluminum and OEM (Yamaha's "Alu line"). Since then, I've done a few things with the bike, and I thought now was a good time fitting the whole assembly back on, just to...

Hi all! Anyone with a good solution to how I'm gonna be able to ride with my left middle finger broken?? It hurts like where it's very warm if I even look at the clutch lever. The finger is taped up so I can't move it, which is a good thing. Even so, it' pretty much impossible to ride, and...

I've been playing with the idea of lowering the front end of the bike by raising the forks up the triple clamp by the recommended 5-10 mm. My question is this: Is it only a matter of loosening the bolt on each side of the top clamp and pushing down the bike? What about the lower triple? I...

A buddy of mine went ahead and bought himself a 2001 CBR600F the other day. It's in mint condition and certainly doesn't look like it's nine years old. Anywho... We went for a ride today, and I took it for granted that the Honda would smoke the FZ... Hell no!:BLAA: The two bikes perform very...
