    Modifying stock FZ6 Exhaust???

    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???

    Using EZ Pass

    How do you use/secure EZPass on your bike. I've tried slipping it in a pocket, and holding it as I go through a toll, but there's gotta be a better solution.

    Windscreens - what am I missing???

    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. So there should be less turbulence, right? Wrong! While there's little turbulence on my body, there is quite a bit on...
