Thanks; I just can't wait to get back riding....got 11 more weeks of therapy to repair my thumb though so I'm stuck in a truck again :(
Feel free to hit me up whenever @[email protected] don't check this site very often (maybe 2x a week) so email is quicker/better for me.
Hi all, haven't been very active here since joining but I figure this is probably the best place to post -
Selling a complete setup to convert your FZ6R to an XJ6N naked bike. Paid a little over $600 total, would like $500 out of it.
Price Dropped to $375
Parts can be seen in pictures and...
If I'm doing 80+ I'll find that I start to hug the tank, but I find that unless I'm going that fast there's no need. Then again, I'm 5'6" so even with the stock screen I'm not getting too much wind on my chest, just on my helmet. I recently upgraded my Bell Qualifier (head would shake...
I was originally thinking of getting an FZ6 and doing the R6 fork/R1 shock swap...
I saw (here?) that the R6 forks were a ton of custom work so that's a no go, but do you (or anyone else) know if the R1 shock will swap onto the FZ6R?
For what? Raising the forks or pushing them back down through the trees? When I raised them I didn't use straps...or a floor jack. Just loosened one at a time. When I had to drop the one that came too far through I ended up just using a scrap piece of wood (~1/2x2x6") and a large c-clamp to...
If you do one side at a time, the fork should push itself up through the trees. Might have to twist back and forth a bit with your hands, just don't loosen the clamps too much (like I did on the 2nd one) or it'll shoot too far through and then you'll have to MacGuyver a way to get it back down...
I shift around 7k or so; when I first got the bike I was treating it like a car and shifting early (around 4k)....then at the end of the tank I saw I averaged ~30mpg :(
Read on here that the bike likes to be between 6-8k, so I just keep it in that range while riding. For most cruising around...
Was looking into getting an FZ6 before I chose the FZ6r; had looked into the Access Composites R6 tail. Maybe check that out? Looked sleek enough that if you're not going with undertail exhaust it could possibly work.
Found this on google, was the photo that originally made me want a naked...
Dropped mine earlier today, first day riding the FZ6R too lol. Still not used to the weight of the bike and trying to take it slowly (only ever riden an old CB400 a couple years ago and more recently, the Rebel at the safety course), but like an idgit I decided to make a u-turn on a hill...
I've been using a cheap Harbor Freight rear stand. Was a bit wary at first, but for the last 2 weeks of off and on usage it seems to be fine. Cost ~$30. When I had to install the lowering link I used a combo of that stand, plus wood planks and a jack under the headers/exhaust. That was a bit...
2850 for mine. 2011 w/ 16500 miles. Runs and rides straight, but PO dropped it on the left side and fairings are scratched up pretty bad. I'm thinking I can do some temporary patches with bondo and paint or wrap since I have always liked the look of Yamaha's naked bikes and I'm hoping to...
I like the idea, and with some quality work it could be super sweet. I've only ever seen a chopper with steampunk styling, but lots of other random items from fellow art students/artists. One thing that always comes to mind when hearing steampunk is 2 things you've already touched on, and...
Same thing with my bike; I suck at painting so I'm ordering some gloss black vinyl, enough to do both fairings (although only one is damaged...but I imagine the vinyl won't match the other side's paint). I'm going to try clean/prep, bondo, sand, wrap with vinyl, then order a pair of replacement...
