It looks like the brackets are the same. Maybe those of us with the old set can just get the pucks and the . . . what do you call those . . . screw on kits.

36mph is actually pretty good for stop and go, city riding at 35-45 mph. I was initially concerned about my mph (you can search my old threads about it). I was getting less than you're getting when my commute was less than 5 miles to work at 35mph. When I moved and had a 15-20 mile ride in to...

My cousin had a beat up old jeep with a roll bar that we played around with in the woods when I was a teenager. My dad made me learn how to drive backwards before he would let me drive forwards. I hit a small rise in a field a little too fast (understatement) in reverse and caught a few feet of...

I've had the front come up but I don't plan to let the rear come off. The 6R is NOT a lightweight dirt bike designed to come off the ground. I've had dirt bikes way off the ground, a car and a jeep (in reverse, funny story) in the air, but plan to keep at least one wheel of my 6R on the ground...

I used the P1X tip from the beginning until I changed out the bolts to blue ones. TB doesn't make a blue P1X so I was forced to use a P1 tip in order to go blue. It took me a little while to get used to the louder tip. It's plenty loud enough for my liking. If i want to be heard and seen, I just...

I use the UCLEAR with a scorpion 1100 helmet. It works very well for both music and talking on the phone. People can't tell I'm on the bike unless I accelerate hard. I will have to second the frustration with working the buttons with gloves. There are only three buttons and you have to use...

Unfortunately there is no swivel adjustment built into the arms where they attach to the bike, so I couldn't pull them down any. That would definitely help with visibility and aesthetics. I would prefer them to angle down more. It looks like FZWhite's were too low. Something in the middle would...

I finally bit the bullet and used some Christmas money to buy a set of mirrors from Ebay. They were listed as as zx6r compatible mirrors with turn signals. I plan to eventually switch out the front signals with flush mounts but wanted the visibility of signals that stick out from the bike...

Changed out the mirrors, cleaned the chain, recharged a dead battery after its sat for a month.

Great tutorial, but it would be a little easier to read if you broke up the paragraph into steps instead of one large block. Thanks for the expertise, though!

Ok, so the manual is here On the second page, you'll see a diagram of the pcv. You'll notice the line of holes on the right side. The two left most holes are where the TWO wires from your switch will go, one from one side of your switch and the other for the second position on your switch. Take...

The slide to the right is a just physics. You're riding a two wheel vehicle. You're pushing hard enough on the rear brake with your right foot to lock it up. If you stand on the just the right peg without counterweight, what's gonna happen to the bike? It will fall to the right. So, probably...

I, too, have the old style T-Rex sliders and put one of them to good use last year about this time. I was a little surprised how much got shaved off going less than 30 mph. I still chose to replace it with another T-Rex though. I do like the new look. Can't justify buying a new set of pucks...

I did that this past week with my jacket. Thing is, it broke while I was wearing it and it got stuck. So, what do i do? I pull out my Gerber multitool and proceed to try to yank the zipper down. Ended up popping the metal loop off the zipper. Sooo, I don't think those little pully ropes will...
