    Low-sided and now onto Naked

    I got the light assembly from Dimecity Cycles. I got the brackets from amazon.com which are the same ones used by people who build streetfighter bikes. After that I took multiple trips back and forth from Lowe's to find washers and spacers to get it to sit right. Ain't gonna lie, it's like a...

    Low-sided and now onto Naked

    I couldn't wait for my front signals any longer so me and my buddies did some hot laps in their enclosed community. Some important points when doing this type of conversion. 1. Rides very differently! That's mostly plastic, but definitely feels like she's a little lighter in the nose...

    Help me pick a paint color

    I really think you need to commit and do your front fenders and tank in the same orange. It looks incomplete like you had parted your fairings from somewhere else. Great job on the work though.

    Low-sided and now onto Naked

    Minor update. The quick and dirty way is to get a hold of 6" x 3/4" furniture brackets or securing brackets (Aisle 2 of Lowe's).

    Alrighty! My bruises look worse, but functionally I'm down to just a mildly sprained right ankle. I had a chat with DSTE who pointed out some great pieces to build out the rest. A quick hunt around and I came across a good-looking 6 1/4" black circular headlight unit for $50 that plugs...

    Low-sided and now onto Naked

    First, the confessional. All in all, I was very lucky because I rolled off a little bit letting my jacket and helmet take most of the impact. However, I won't ever make that mistake again about squidding anywhere, so up went the order for proper boots and pants along with replacement...

    Low-sided and now onto Naked

    Well, I guess it was going to happen, but didn't think I'd do it so early. With bruised ego and bruised knee (and shin and ankle), I started work this weekend to strip off the fairings, fix what I could and install some more protective parts (sliders) for the next go round. I had debated ad...

    Another Rumble Bee to the Forums

    Well, my buddies got me bit on the biking bug and here I am detailing a great deal of a used '09 FZ6R early in the morning waiting for the weather to lighten up so I can take my first spin! I had to do the first mod which was remove the "Star Power."
