Ok, I need to change brake pads on my wife's 2014 FZ6R. Looking around (Amazon, Revzilla, eBay, etc), I am now throughly confused. 140, 174, 199, and a few others show up. EBC website isn't useful either. Will anyone tell me what the front & back EBC part numbers are? Preferably Amazon, as...

After taking 3 trips to the mountains, and one scheduled for Arkansas, I can say unequivocally...that this addition was the BEST investment I've made for my wife's bike!

Looks like the bike fared worse than you, congrats and count your blessings. Good to hear it wasn't worse.....for you.

Thanks Dart. I learned, through trial and error, to load the bags on my FJR on the bed first. Invariably, one always takes more than is necessary. :rolleyes:

It fits! The instructions are more like a parts list, so you'll need to use your brain to figure it out. The 4 brackets aren't marked L/R, so you'll need to do that brain teaser first. Hint: put the left side on first, so the connection underneath the fender will go more smoothly.

I lowered my wife's 2014 with the Soupy link. It went in ok, but took some effort. It was a 1 1/2" drop, and I dropped the front end .75". It handles just like stock, even at 100mph. Best of luck, Rob

Thanks guys, I also contacted Givi and received this response; "Good morning Rob, The correct V35 side case hardware for the 2014 FZ6R is the PLXR364. No additional hardware is required for that installation. FZ-6R '09-15' : PLXR364 - V35 SIDEFRAMES Best regards. Sean Dawley...

Yes, I saw that. It lists for 2009-2012, how about 2014? Any changes? Twisted Throttle responded saying they didn't have any brackets that fit the 2014, though he just used the site like I did. Chatted with Revzilla, and he thought they just haven't updated the info, but it should still fit...

??? Ok, what am I doing wrong? I've searched Revzilla, Twisted Throttle, and even Givi, but none show a fitment for a 2014 FZ6R (V35 & Rapid Release bracket).

Got the same one for my wife's bike and she loves it! Last September we rode a 2,300 mile week in the mountains, and not one complaint about buffeting.

Think about it. Sitting on your bike, turn the bars far right. Now, which way would the bike be easiest to fall over?

Put on the Shogun frame sliders. Taking into account Murphy's Law, my wife will never drop her bike again. :steve:

Don't Mess With Karma.:cool:

I stopped riding, in the mid 80's, for the same reasons you are thinking about. After a while the jonesing for riding stopped, mainly because of family and job obligations. Have been back on a bike since Dec '12, and now my daughter and wife have bikes. Could have kept riding, and maybe...

Welcome fellow Flatistani! There's plenty of info here for farkling or upgrading. Just look around. Post a pic!
