On my VA trip I happened to run into a Lady FZ1 rider and her friend on a GSXR 750 at the Starbucks on 340 in Front Royal. She had said she owned a FZ6 for 23k miles before stepping up to her FZ1. I was the guy riding the FZ6 with my fiance and my Dad on his StreetGlide. Are you on here by any...
It was a heck of a first trip too. Road two-up for 1034 miles. Went 400 miles from Stow, OH to my Dad's house in Woodbridge, VA on Thursday. Spent Friday riding 150 miles with my Dad around northern Virginia. Rode another 300 miles on Saturday to Morgantown, WV. We hit a couple of nice routes...
Shipped some bar risers the morning after payment, arrived two business days later. Good price, quick shipping, and accurate description of product, what else can you ask for?
I was browsing twisted throttle today and came across something I hadn't remembered seeing before:
TwistedThrottle.com : MFW Vario Footpeg Mount, Passenger (Yamaha FZ6, FZ1, '06-, YZF600R, & R6, '99-'02) - MFW.051.08.01.10
I've been looking for a peg kit that will give my fiance room for...
I bought a used Corbin seat off of this guy for a ridiculously cheap $250 shipped. He fedex'd me the seat the day after I sent payment and it got here 2 days later. The seat was exactly what he said it was in the exact condition. I'm very happy with the seat and the transaction!
I was riding two-up today on some back roads, and what I think was a hawk was eating something off the side of the road. As I approached it, it got startled, and flew right into the middle of the road. Luckily it didn't hit my wheel and it was on my right side so it didn't get caught in the...
Since the weather was so nice today, I took the day off to go for a ride. I took 77S to 250 and cruised 800, 22, 250, 151, 164, 39 and 212 back to 77. 270 miles in 6 hours start to finish. An hour of that was break/food/gas etc. I was pretty surprised with the pace I kept. 164 is a fun road...
My new Luggage showed up in the mail today from Motorcycle-Superstore. I got the Nelson Rigg Expandable Tank Bag, Expandable Tail Bag, and Touring Saddlebags w/ Heatshields. It's a ridiculous amount of storage, easily enough for a week's worth of stuff. I haven't got to ride with it on yet, but...
I just ordered a set of Nelson Rigg luggage, including the CL-150 tailbag. It got me thinking that it could work as a makeshift backrest for my girlfriend if I were able to mount it on a tail rack. Has anyone tried putting the CL-150 on a givi rack? If it fits, would it hold up to being used as...
Looking for Corbin/TS seat + other touring mods...
Sometime in the next few weeks I'm planning on ordering some stuff to make my new 2008 FZ6 a little more touring friendly. I planned on buying new but if anyone has these things for sale used I'd be glad to take them off your hands:
Corbin...
I picked up my brand new Raven '08 FZ6 today from Honda East in Toledo, OH. $5876 out the door! I emailed Scott Johnson and he gave me the no hassle OTD price right over email. Easiest vehicle purchase I've ever made. I was in and out of the dealership in less than 45 minutes.
I rode it home...
I know I mentioned this in my intro thread, but I could really use some advice. I'm picking up a leftover 2008 FZ6 soon, and I have an issue. The dealership is a little over 2 hours and 130 miles away. The route consists of 1 mile to the turnpike, 121 miles on the pike, and about 9 miles between...
I'm looking to buy an FZ6, preferably red (I hear they're better than the blue ones), and preferably an 07. Would like it to be stock, not looking for anything with any performance modifications. A corbin seat would be nice, as well as frame sliders, soft bags, or a chin cowl. I don't have a...
Hey guys, I'm from NE Ohio and will hopefully be purchasing an FZ6 soon! I'll be selling my GS500F tomorrow hopefully, and I've found a red 2007 FZ6 w/ 3400 miles on it for sale at a local dealership for $5700. I don't have too much negotiation experience and I want to bring it down a bit. My...
