Havent gotten my bike yet, since I have part out all of my mods in my FX35... but i couldnt wait... so i purchased my gear!!! :rockon:

Joe Rocket Atomic 3.0



Shogun No-Cut Sliders



Cortex HDX gloves



Puig Dark smoke windscreens




I'm looking into the helmet... probably a scorpion EXO 700 burst in blue... but i was looking into field armors... and it doesnt cover my kidney and tail bone... any suggestions?

Nice purchases, make sure you don't forget some boots and pants. I went down at about 30 mph the other day and got up without a scratch. If i didn't have boots I probably would have broken my ankle.

Hello, welcome to the forum! You and I are almost neighbors (hacienda hts). Get all your stuff and let's ride. BTW, if you're free this Thursday evening 6pm, there's a Yamaha bike night at Buena Park mall. Riders, drivers are welcome.

Actually, buying your gear BEFORE your bike, is the only way to go IMO. Too much people spend all they got on their bike, and then don't have enough left to buy decent gear.

So yay for you

haha yea... thx guys... im pretty set on the FZ6... just waiting for me to accumulate 2k for the down payment...


Actually i was curious, i was told that i needed to adjust my suspension to match my weight... im 6'5" and 280lbs... anyone know how to do this or a diy for this?

[FX_Allen]

Very cool. Just be aware that '09 model will hit the dealer floor in December.

 

[FX_Allen]

any differences in the 09 and the 09? maybe i can push for a cheaper 08...

I believe the only diffrences are color choices

No worries buying the gear before the bike. After all, you're going to need it when you ride it home!


Cheers

I could not wait either when I was taking my DAS course. Took the test on a Thursday and a brand new FZ6 picked up on the friday. Thank god I passed otherwise the dealer would have had to hold on to it for at least another 2 weeks.

Also uk riders will understand I had it on an 08 3 days before I could have had a 58 plate Just could not wait

Boys and there toys ehhh

I bought my Arai helmet, a good jacket and gloves first. I thought about buying a new bike, but buying used saved me a couple thousand dollars. That money went into more gear and some minor mods. I'd recommend this route to every first time rider/buyer, like myself.

Enjoy the ride.
