So 3 years back I purchased a used givi fz351 toprack on the forum. As with most of the used topracks it didn't didn't come with the expansion nuts that go in the rear tubular frame. I came up with a solution at the time that was OK, but I always wanted something better; it was snug, but not...
Lets just say this is a repeating event as the #2 wire has failed for the 4th time!
The tell tale sign is vibes to the @ss through the seat! They start at 3800 RPM and are VERY noticeable through the whole 4K range.
The brass screw pushes the copper wire strands off center!

This post is to show only a little of places I went on my motorcycles, with time I think it should be cool to post complete translations of the posts that are on my blog but that takes way too much time.
Let's start...
1st - 2009, a ride into Douro (from Porto almost until Régua), crossing...
Finally California is adding its lane splitting rule on their book.
California Could Finally Put A Lane-Splitting Law On The Books
It's time for other states to change and adopt lane splitting.
My first experience yesterday:
Usually I search for houses near to my work, like less than a mile, so...
Excuse the massive title. :rolleyes:
I was just on a 1000 mi+ trip with my FZ6 S2 and figured out in the first 200
miles that my chain was shot (I know). A few links seized up after 2 hours in
the rain and I tried to loosen it up with some WD40 and motor oil after but not
much I could do, the...
Well I took the FZ6 to the drag strip for the first time tonight (my first time to the drag trip ever).
Did five runs:
1: 12.294 @ 113.35

3: 11.896 @ 114.60
4: 11.841 @ 114.95

I'm number 437 in this photo.
Was a lot of fun! However, the...
So I'm thinking its time to rebuild my calipers. Looking on bike bandits fiche I can't tell exactly what parts I need to order. Bad Request
It looks like either 7 or 9 could be the one. Thanks in advance
Hi Guys...
Just wondering what is the consensus here about the bike and servicing / repairs concerning dealers and indie garages?
Seems since this is a forum lot's of DIYers come here for help and advice to varying degrees of success. Many if not most get what they are looking for, but for...
Last weekend while adding an USB port to my fairing my tank slid off and broke my fuel line and pulled the wiring out of the electrical plugs. I have been having a hard time finding replacements plugs.
What I am really needing is the plugs with a pigtail. If anyone could help me out that...
I will be staying at the Fontana Village the first full week of August this year, 2015.
Not lookin' for a forums gtg, but, if anyone is in the area at that time maybe we can get a beer or a small meet and greet. Look for the all black V-Rod with one of those faster RED FZ-6's following close...
Moving up to a newer model as the CB should be delivered to me in a week or so. Already had a play with one, it's a small big bike. Never had a proper time with a naked, MT09 test ride the last time before that.
Will post pictures when it's arrived, my plan is to sell the FZ6 shortly after to...

I was traveling along, going to the liquor store for some necessities. I got caught in a little bit of traffic. One of these guys right in front of my is in a diesel Chevy pickup. The whole time traffic is slowed he thinks its funny to keep slowing down and goosing the thing causing thick black...
Finally got to ride my FZ6 home today after getting it certified at a local bike dealership and having spent the majority of my week thus far doing licensing and administration type duties. Between class and finalizing my license plate transfer, I didn't even get to eat today! (Somehow I made it...

The wife sent me a pic today of the uncooperative dashboard. I told her its like a TV whose's time is up. For an 11 year old bike, i'll say its time is up. I'm thinking of keeping one dashboard unit in the storeroom in case mine decides to meet its maker too.
I got my 07 FZ6 yesterday. I then went and took the written exam at the DMV, passed it. They scheduled me for my road test today and I passed that too. The bike and I are now %100 legal and I love every minute of it. I can't remember a time since my son's birth that I have been so happy.
Blah
I happen to be in the heart of the blizzard where we are supposed to get 20-30". I'd see this from time to time in Vermont but it's not common here in Massachusetts. Looks like I am going snowshoeing!
The photos are about 9 hours apart.
