I can't believe it's ending. :( I've been sharing my journey with this wonderful bike on here for years. But I have a kid now and I never get to ride any more as I have to take him to work with me and I hate seeing the bike sat in the garage not being used. I've listed my 2008 Black FZ6 S2...

So ... I'm getting old. I want a bike that's even more comfy than the FZ6, while not sacrificing power or handling. By this I mean lower seat height, more stretched out legs and higher bars. Is it possible? I'm only 5 foot 8 and my legs aren't massive. The stock seat height and high centre of...

As many of you will be aware, I love to mod my FZ6, but I like to do it as cheaply as possible. I've been mostly lucky so far. I was one of the first to buy the cheap adjustable levers and they've lasted me years with no issues. I bought Scorpion end-cans as they were the cheapest and they've...

I had some heated gloves a while ago that were brilliant, but they only had a years warranty and broke. A lot. I bought some Gerbings to replace them because of the improved warranty and although they didn't look as cool and weren't as comfy because I ordered a size too small they lasted much...

I ride all year round to commute to work 5 days a week, except when there is snow/ice on the roads (a few days a year really). I'm not bothered by wind and rain and actually prefer that to being too hot! However, it's not safe to ride when your hands are so cold you can't feel them and not much...

So yesterday I had to ride through a huge puddle about a foot deep. It was only for a few metres and the bike seemed fine afterwards. I continued riding to work which was mainly at 70mph for about 30 mins. When i started the bike at the end of the day, the bike idled at 2k rpm instead of 1k. It...

Who loves this? :D Gangnam Style I love how many people have copied it! I especially enjoy watching the Korean dance team version. I can' think why! ;)

Pretty much like it says. I wanna buy an alarm to instal on the bike that can beep when people get too near and go off and immobilize the bike if they touch/knock it. I currently have a Xena disc lock alarm, but wanted to add to the bike. Don't want to spend too much. £20-£30 really unless...

After I installed my throttle lock I had to pull the throttle right to the edge of the bar to get the brake levers to actually be usable! This mean that on full lock my throttle cables would stick. Then, I ordered a Cee Bailey screen and discovered that my levers knocked it on lock. Also, I've...

I currently have a flip screen and although it's far better than the stock one and the double-bubble I used to have to keep the wind off my chest, I still get blown back a bit when on the motorway as it hits me in my neck and upper chest. I decided to take the plunge and go for a screen from the...

I do a lot of miles on the motorway so a lot of it is travelling along at the same time. I decided a throttle lock would be the closest I could get to cruise control. I went for the cheapest option as it was just an experiment and it was made by Bike-It and cost me about £35. The negatives...

Youtube suggested this to me today and I thought I'd share in case it's not been put on here before. It must be incredibly loud in real life! No cat except the two mini ones and exhaust cut pretty much as short as it can safely be done! He totally needs to sort out the rear end now! Unless this...

Wow! I have finally discovered it! After 3 years of owning my FZ6 I've finally discovered the ultimate modification. There are so many benefits to this! It's totally worth it. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I've got a picture of the modification linked to below. It's pretty...

Booyeah! Just got these on Ebay for £33 including postage! They need sanding and painting, but it's £100 quid cheaper than new and I couldn't justify that to the wife! :rockon:

Sorry if this has already been posted. I looked through 5 pages of search results & then got bored! I'm looking for a decent quality image of the FZ6 logo. If possible just black and white or a line-drawing. Vector image would be even bettter! Please don't post a JPG file! PNG would be okay...

So I've finally updated my website with all my mods I've done over the last year or so and I updated my costs page. You can see it here (just click cancel when asked or it will push you back to the homepage inside the frames). I've spent £1,873 on modding my bike! In total there are 51 according...

A while ago I upgrades my horns using the Motrax Hootaz. This is something I always do now as the stock horns always suck. When I did it, I kept the stock horn so I could have a high tone horn as well as two low-tone horns. Well the Hootaz started corroding a bit and one of the kept needing...

I used to have EXO2 StormShield Heated Gloves and while they looked awesome, as heated gloves they were unreliable and not as comfy as they could be. I had to return them every few months as the right-one would randomly stop working! I decided to upgrade to some Gerbings for the lifetime...

This is wholly thanks to this amazingly useful post by Popeye70. Without this I would have ended up cutting the foot off the sidestand, cutting the length off the pipe that I wanted lost and paying to get the foot welded back. Much more hassle and cost and time. This you can do with a hacksaw...

The one thing I don't like about my bike is the massive, faded grey rear hugger. I've seen some great ones on here. But the one that REALLY made me decide to do this is this beautiful job by dynamo-acl. My paint-job isn't as good as his (I suck as using gloss paint), but I'm very pleased with my...
