    Plastidip tank durability

    Being that it's cheap and easy to do, I decided to plastidip a few parts on the bike. I did the rear grab handles, the rear pods, and the tank. There was a bit of a learning curve, so I ended up doing the tank twice as I sprayed too far from the tank on the initial attempt and there was...

I'm planning on putting mine about 3 inches above the seat so the whole pad its flat on the gas tank. My reasoning being that this is where a zipper would...

    Should there be any play in the gas tank?

    I noticed while filling my gas tank that there's a slight amount of left/right play.. If you're sitting on the bike, that means it will lean very slightly to the left or the right if pressure is applied, as if it's pivoting along the attachment points on the front and back. The amount of...

    Hi fellas, Just need some advice as I've only had my FZ6 for two weeks now. I found that some sort of relay is just hanging down freely under the tank while installing the hot grips. It lays on top of the throttle body on the left hand side and has a metal bracket so I'm pretty sure it...
