Used a drinking straw cut down to about 5/8" and insert under the nut. Also went with longer screws than what it came with. The straw collapses under the nut and just leave it there.

I'm 54 and my 2008 FZ6 is my one and only bike to date. My intent was to use it to learn to ride and then upgrade to a HD cruiser of some type. Just having too much fun with it to let it go. :thumbup:

PM has been sent.

I would just call the local machine shops and ask. Some may not want to do such a small job but keep looking. Did'nt find out about RhinoMoto bar ends till well after I had the machining done. Think I would go that route next time.

I went with option #3. I can now see what is behind me while still admiring my shoulders with the originals. ;)

I can flatfoot it at 5'-8" but at 230# I'm feeling a bit pudgy compared to the rest of you :D My rear shock is at 5 and am thinking of going to 6 and see what happens.

Some decent ones here also. RhinoMoto Sliders, Fork Sliders, Swingarm Sliders, Bar End Sliders, frame Sliders

Best I could find. Qwik Product Switch - Chaparral Motorsports and best linking I could come up with :confused:

Once your axle nut has been tightened, the chain adjustment nuts are just sitting there doing nothing till the next adjustment. They should'nt be viewed as a backup to the axle nut coming loose. As long as the nut has been tightened properly and with normal riding you should be ok. But you're...

I'm at 14K miles and thinking of replacing them. They still have plenty of meat but I forgot to clean the rotors when I changed my tires and they've been making noise when I come to the last few feet of a stop. Can I just slap in the new pads without doing anything to the rotors, or should the...

and he'd been contacted to stop trolling. He made plenty of valuable contributions, but for every great posts there were 10 troll posts. I can not be the only one who does not know this. What is trolling and what is troll like behavior? :confused:

I kept the stock ones and just added bar ends. Really did not care how it looked, I just wanted to have functional mirrors. Now I can see what's behind me and still admire my shoulders with the stock mirrors:thumbup:

Chemiker, how often are the cables supposed to be lubricated? This is one of those maintenance items that I should have looked into but never have.

I had my original bar ends machined so I could install bar end mirrors on them. I ordered a new set from the dealer just in case I did'nt like the setup but I am not going back. I like seeing what is behind me:D So I have a set of new spares never used in black. Will let them go for what I paid...

I wear contacts when I ride and usually wear sunglasses as well. Always worrying about the wind drying my lenses but with the sunglasses I can ride up to 30mph comfortably with the visor open, past that and my visor goes down. Using contacts also means one less item to fog up when it is...

I thought I was just being paranoid but apparently someone IS watching my ass as I putt down the road:eek: I've been trying to lose the pounds for years without much success. Now that I've started riding I have some additional reasons to get in shape. Hope for the best, the battle of the bulge...

Im not sure whether I should be miffed or not:rolleyes:. I bought the black one and I like it. :thumbup:

That's why I have not gotten my leathers yet. I refuse to buy custom pear shaped leather riding gear. I don't actually diet, just trying moderation. Instead of the heaping mountains of grub I usually ingest, now I just get a decent amount and no seconds. So far so good, I've lost four pounds in...
