I have the Cortech sport tail bag and saddle bags and don't use any supports with them. I know that some do for aesthetics but I haven't had any problems running as is.

I found the relativley simple sounding process of tightening the front axel to be more difficult than it should have been. Here are the two options that I found to get the job done. 1. Go online and buy a 19mm hex wrench with a socket drive that works on a torque wrench. Spend $ on the...

I've done quite a bit of reading on this subject since my dad and I have had several discussions over this. What I've found is that it is overall better to take it easy and let the bike warm up while riding then it is to just do an idle warm up. The big thing is to just not get on it and ride...

I met an FZ1 rider at a bar and was talking bikes for a while. He mentioned something about an FZ1 riders group forum. I wondered if there was an exclusive FZ6 forum, did an internet search and voila, here I am.

SBN convert. I love this site so far. Far fewer squids, flame throwers and drama queens. Glad it's staying FZ6 only.

I started my zombie plan young. I think mine stems from watching not only zombie movies but also Red Dawn way too many times as a kid. Wolverines anyone? Sorry I'm not going to share my plan with any of you buggers. How do I know some of you won't be the zombies :)

Those guys have skills. One question...what about gear??? You'd think they'd at least want to be wearing gloves, especially after seeing the one guy pull the side drop and land on his hand. Just a thought.

Welcome. I'm up in Monterey. There are a couple of good guys in your area with FZ's that I've ridden with.

I musta made a pretty good decision judging by the experience here. I'm 34 and it's my first bike. I've already figured out that the older guys can flat out smoke my *ss in the twisties at this point. That's o.k. They're also willing to share their knowledge and I'm smart enough to listen.

Love that shot Troubl. I saw it another place and it still makes me laugh.

New here. Been riding about a year. I live in Monterey. Here's my 06.
