    Installed a Tinted Double Bubble Windshield

    I have been thinking about getting one for my blue FZ6R. Do you have a link to where you got yours along with cost? Also, any pictures would be nice. :needpics: Thanks for any and all info.

    Does The Gear Match The Bike?

    I just love my blue FZ6R... Matte black helmet. Black riding pants. Blue jacket with white and black accents/trim. Blue tank bag with black accents/trim. Blue saddle bags with a little black trim. Going to purchase a matching blue tail bag, which has a little black trim. Will look at a...

    Looking for my first jacket.

    I bought the Cortech GX Sport Series 2 textile jacket and have not regret that choice. It has a removable quilted liner, so when it is cold out, I have the liner to keep me warm. Plus it has armor in the shoulders and elbows as well as having a padded area down the back. When I was looking...

    Installation Help: Cortech Sport Saddlebags

    Thanks for the reply, and yes, I still have the stock fender. When I first started looking at saddlebags, I did notice how the saddle and tail bags are best used as a set. When I got to browsing the forum, it seemed as though some people were using the saddlebags without the tail bag, which is...

    Installation Help: Cortech Sport Saddlebags

    I just received my Cortech Sport Saddlebags as well as my Joe Rocket Manta tank bag. I tried to search the forums about installation information, but the only thing I really found was how to install the Cortech Sport Tailbag, which I might be getting a little later on. As for the tank and...

    I HATE cagers...

    I actually live in East Tennessee. I had heard on the radio a couple of times about it being Motorcycle Safety Awareness. I think I MAY have seen a sign or two myself. I agree that it is nice for TN to do something like this, in an attempt to make people aware that we are out there and to be...

    Tank & Saddle Bag Questions

    I ordered a Joe Rocket Manta (not XL) tank bag in blue as well as the Cortech Sport Saddlebags in blue this past Sunday (5/9/2010). It will probably take a little while for them to come in. I didn't get the tail bag yet because I mainly want to see how much room the saddlebags will give me...

    Rapid Transit Recon 19 Magnetic Tank Bag

    If you could get some pictures, that would be wonderful. I have been thinking about getting one of the Manta tank bags, and pictures would make or break my decision. Also, for anyone out there who doesn't use bags (tank, tail, or saddle or backpacks), how do most of you keep track of your...

    Well... looks like I won't be riding for awhile...

    I hate to hear about not getting to ride. Actually, I was in Bell Buckle this past weekend (4/30 to 5/2) for a search and rescue class. And, boy did it rain... add in the tornado watches/warnings as well as the flash flood watches/warnings and you have a really scary situation. Coming from...

    Various Road Etiquette Techniques

    I have been wondering about a few things and will try to play them out in a little scenario (none of which have happened to me). A person is riding along on a 4 lane or more road. A vehicle in one of the adjoining lanes starts to change lanes right on top of you without looking. Could a...

    My first accident...rear ended by soccer mom

    I really hate to hear about your accident, but as other user's have mentioned, at least you are alright. It is so unfortunate that people are injured/killed because inattentive drivers. It is also a shame that because of someone else, your joy/thrill of riding has all but been eliminated...

    OVERpants? Who uses and what

    +1 here. Had to take the liner out because even in the cooler weather, khakis, a liner, and then the over pants got a little warm. I purchased a set after some users on this forum recommended them to me. It is nice to be able to zip them into my Cortech jacket, reducing the fear of the pants...

    DIY Remove Stickers / Decals

    I did as you and the guy at work stated. I used a little more Goo Gone, and the rest of the residue came right off. I was worried for a while... wondering if I seriously damaged my fairly new toy. After I got the residue off, I used an alcohol wipe to clean up the remaining Goo Gone. I may...

    Anyone have Givi E21 hard saddlebags on their bike?

    I personally haven't dealt with TwistedThrottle, but from one of the other threads (TwistedThrottle BS), I would try to find some other supplier as some people on here haven't had the best of luck. Just my 2 copper plated coins worth.
