    Recommendations for flush mount turn signals on 2007 fairing?

    Dropped my bike while unloading last year and broke the plastic bracket that holds the left turn signal to the inside of the fairing. No way to repair that and it's now "fixed" with a zip tie. It's a good time to put some flush mounts on the fairing which I've wanted to do for a long time...

    Any experience at replacing LCD.

    Does any one have any experience in replacing the LCD panel in a 2007 instrument cluster? Just wondering about the general procedure and how difficult it would be. Part of my LCD has blanked or faded out on the left. The fuel, temp and part of the clock are covered and barely visible in...

    R1 to FZ1 Mod

    I met this guy where I was staying in Robbinsville who had a rather interesting bike. He had it under an FZ1 cover and when he pulled the cover off, I was thrilled to see an under the seat exhaust. I thought he had modded an FZ1 with an R1 exhaust, something I've always wanted to see. Then on...

    REALLY strange problem

    Today I'm riding along in third gear at probably 5000 rpm and notice that the bike is surging slightly. It's almost like I was twisting the throttle back and forth ever so slightly in almost perfect rhythm. Then I look down and notice I've left the blinker on after my last turn. I turn off...

    Deals Gap 02 Oct - 05 Oct

    I'm making my fall pilgrimage to Deals Gap area this week. I'll be riding the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. I'm staying between Townsend and Pigeon Forge with some non-riders and the wife (novice cruiser rider) but could probably slip off for a ride or two if anyone is going to be there. PM me if...

    Powder coating woes continue

    I am trying to get my rear sets powder coated and am having a hard time with it. I am wondering if I am doing too much. Those who have done this, please tell me what you removed before powder coating. I have been told that all rubber must be removed. Problem is, I haven't been able to remove...

    removing the shift lever for powder coating

    I am about to have my rear sets powder coated and I am having some trouble I hope someone can help me with. On the inside rear of the gear shift lever there is a ball/socket joint which connects the lever to the shifting rod. This ball/socket joint has a rubber boot on it which means it is...

    Flush Mounts on fairing of 07 FZ6?

    I want to get rid of the stock front signals and put some flush mounts on the fairing. Has anyone done this on an 07? I know multiple people have done it on 06's but they have a hole in the fairing where the original signals mounted. The 07 has a bracket that extends below the fairing where...

    08 availability

    Is anyone else out there struggling to find an 08? If anyone knows of a dealership that has 08's, please let me know. I know seth got one in Washington but that's about as far away as you can get from me without going to Alaska or Hawaii. All the dealerships around here (Mississippi) are now...

    Dealer Invoice for 08?

    Does anyone have a dealer invoice price for an 08? I'm currently negotiating for one and cyclebuy.com does not have an invoice for an 08 available yet. I'm thinking it should be about 6k even given the 07 dealer invoice price and the $150 MSRP increase on the 08. Does this sound about right...

    Wide view mirror?

    Has anyone here ever added or fashioned a wide view mirror of any kind for their bike? I was thinking of somehow attaching a small angled mirror inside the fairing that would give me a view of the blind spot. The head check really scares me sometimes in heavy traffic, especially at higher...
