I did two trips this month; they're my first multi-day trips. The first one was a 2 day trip up to Catskill, NY and the Hudson River valley; approx 215 miles each day - total trip 430 miles.
Second one was riding 2 up to Baltimore for an overnight; total trip approx 260 miles.
Both were...
Has anyone modified their stock FZ6 (04-08) exhaust for better sound? I would love to improve the sound of this thing without dropping a grand. The FZ6R guys are doing it (see their thread); what about us???

Has anyone with this kind of case lose one off the back of their...
I've been riding for years, but all my riding has been day trips. I'm taking my first tour the week of June 15th (days TBD). It will be an overnighter in the Hudson Valley of NY.
While I live in Bucks County, PA, the actual tour will begin in Sloatsburg, NY up 9W and over the Rip Van Winkle...
I have an '07 Fz6 and love it. Last year, I put on a Puig touring windscreen (not the db) and is similar to the OEM touring screen; it's a couple of inches taller than stock.
