Sounds like you are ready for a retrofit!!!
I'm with you Ravinx, couldn't not handle having the winters up north without riding. Starting to freshen up here at night, starting to use my waterproof liner and long sleeve shirt I've only been riding for a month but have been going out almost every day.
LMAO!!!!!!
Speaking of...If I paid you for a brand new housing and for the retro fit would you do it?
I don't think I could go a few weeks without riding my baby. I live in AZ and there isn't anytime of the year I cant ride. Well the summer....... ooooo wait I have a cooling pack insert for my jacket.
Sounds like you are ready for a retrofit!!!
My visor was frosting up riding to work this morning.......
34 when I left the house... had to ride in this morning... (see other thread ), visor fogging, and a bit of a chill even with heated gear (though I didn't throw in my insulated liner, because it's supposed to be 60 later).
I have the pinlock visor which was awesome the first inner shield I used, but when I replaced the inner shield, it just didn't seal right, gotta get the alcohol and clean it up real good again and try to get it to seal...
I would have rode today 32°F out, but my garage is broken and it was going to be a pain to get the bike out this morning. It's going to be a beautiful 60 later today bought the garage door opener, but am changing the whole system so I have to wait for an installer.
oh the winter . well i got dibs on a red fz09 . may be in in two weeks
and so time to wash it up , put on the good rear tire on the 6r and put it up for sale
nice! You will love that bike. The 09 is everything a perfect street bike should be. Strong and smooth. More power that you ever need and still get better fuel mileage than the 6r. There's few glitch with it but i have them pretty much all sort out... Know me! Lol
wind is not as much of an issue if you keep it within speed limit. Over 75-80 it's still manageable for a short period of time but not all ay long. Few more months and someone will have a nice screen for it. Red one is nice!
w/s will be needed wife wont like it without one . And i plan on some long rides
thats why the 6r was set up for the long haul
To be honest with you my wife prefer the 09 to the 6R (Puig touring screen). Airflow is much smoother with no buffering whatsoever. The rear set and rear pegs are the biggest complain. Get her to sit on it first... just saying. Unless your wife is 4'8" and 90 lbs... she might not like it. But the rear pegs can be easily lowered if you can fabricate a bit by adding some extension. the passenger seat area is honestly 1/2 tick at the most...
The 09 is a killer 1up bike... not sure about 2up long ride.
what is this winterizing you speak of??? lol
