    The Pro Pad Rider Review

    I have a Propad and it works for me up to about 300 miles, but that is about it. At that point, the Airhawk comes out. Ride safe... Dave

    Got my Airhawk cushion on Friday

    I have the Corbin seat, a Pro Pad, and an Airhawk. Around town, I'm happy with just the Corbin. The stock seat was torture for me even on short rides. The Corbin is good. BTW - I got it used on ebay for a couple hundred bucks. The Pro Pad was added for some trips, and is good for a 300+...

    SW-Motech Bar Risers/Bar Backs

    I also installed these risers earlier this year. I have about 15K on my '05, and the risers are the difference between battling the seat position and truly being comfortable. I am >6' and have gone from almost selling the bike to now being pretty happy with it. The seat still sucks, but a...

    Cortech or Joe Rocket?

    I have the mini, and it is ok, but smallish. I use it on a different bike. i don't like the too small map pocket, and one of the zipper pulls has already broke off. It does not like water either. I have a Nelson Rigg that I have owned for years -very high quality, fits the FZ6 well, and it...

    New member welcome thread..

    Hello - I just joined in the last couple weeks. I'm been riding for going on 30 years, but had not ridden much until 2001. My FZ6 is a 2005 with about 12k on the clock. I commute 80 miles a day when I can, and have taken the bike on a couple tours, one to the BRP for about 1000 miles. I also...

    Better windscreen advice !

    I have the taller OEM screen on my '95. At 6'3", I found it to be less than adequate, and added the Laminar Lip. The Lip is made for the short screen, so it is not a perfect fit, and I could not get comfortable with the attachment. I ended up using plastic license plate bolts to attach the...
