    Bike electrics open to the elements?

    Hi, I've just completed the dual light mod to my fz6 and am very pleased that I'm no longer flashed all evening by car drivers being 'helpful'. Anyway, when I put everything back together I noticed for the first time how big the gap is in front of the fuel tank but behind the handlebars...

    04 Fazer with SW Motech rack question

    I have an '04 Fazer and I want to get the givi v35 plx cases on my bike. Does anyone know if the sw motech quicklock removable pannier rack works on the 04 model? After reading things here I've started to get worried that it will only work on the later 07+ models and that there must be some...
