    Gun Talk Thread

    I'm lucky that Indiana is 2nd Amendment friendly. I have a Lifetime LTCH (license to carry handgun). It cost more, but you don't need to renew it every four years. You can carry whatever weapon you legally possess. You don't need to give a reason why you want it, either. The license doesn't...

    Tires

    I got 6200 miles on the stock Dunlop Roadsmarts. I still had tread on the back before reaching the wear markers, but the front was so cupped that turn-in was starting to feel wonky. I replaced with Michelin Pilot Road 4's. I use my bike as a commuter and occasional longer distance highway...

    Strange wear pattern?

    Roger that. My Pilot Road 4's should be on by Saturday afternoon, though. Getting near the rear wear marker and didn't like the feel of the front end when turning in anymore. I figure 6200 miles wasn't bad on the Dunlops.

    Strange wear pattern?

    My last bike was a cruiser and the tires lasted forever, with relatively flat wear patterns. So maybe I'm freaking out about nothing... At 6200 miles, I am getting close to the wear marker on my back tire (Dunlop Roadsmart). It's the front tire that concerns me. Yesterday when I got off the...

    Motodynamic Flush mounts

    I was thinking about getting these and the Motodynamic integrated taillight. Do the flushmounts have a smoked or clear lens? The taillight comes in either one, I'd kind of like them to match.

    Do universal bar ends fit the FZ6R?

    That's a neat idea and something I hadn't thought of. The situation is that I was thinking about going with the Motodynamics Integrated taillight, DMP fender eliminator, the Motodynamic flush mount signals, and an LED turn signal license plate frame. I was wanting to add some turn signal bar...

    Do universal bar ends fit the FZ6R?

    Hmm. I like the stock bars. I'm 41 and don't really do the crouched thing well anymore, plus I occasionally ride from Indianapolis to Chicago. I suppose I can find something that will work though. How much more leaned over are you with straight bars?

    Do universal bar ends fit the FZ6R?

    Do the universal (expanding type) bar ends fit our bike? Or do they not fit because of the threading in the FZ6R's bar? The reason I'm asking is because I am considering some turn signal bar ends and will probably go another route if it takes more moding than drilling a couple holes in the...

    Oberon Bar End Turn Signals + CRG Mirrors

    I was thinking about getting some of these, but not for use with bar end mirrors. I would just get the "standard" ones. If I do that, will I not have to do all the drilling/tapping, etc? Are they a universal fit where they can slide into the bar instead of threading like the original bar...

    60K miles or above ?

    I will never amass mileage like that living here in central Indiana. The riding season is simply too short, plus wife and I both working, kids, etc. Nice to know it will go that long, though. I will ride down to 48 degrees Fahrenheit, beyond that it gets too cold to be fun for me. I don't...

    1st service due:))

    My dealer charged $110 including tax for the 600 mile service. I know they adjusted some things as well as doing the oil change. I could tell the brakes, clutch and shifting felt better and more "precise." I change the oil myself now. I don't think I'd pay someone $360 Canadian for the...
