So far, 1400 mile new rider. Been down once, but it was in my yard on wet grass. Ripped my elbow and side up on the edge of my driveway as I wasn't wearing any gear. Also did about $100.00 in damage to the bike as well as suffering a bruised ego.
Looks like you had a great time! I'm planning a Fall primitive squirrel hunt/camp and am interested as to how you secured your gear on the FZ6R. I plan to wear backpack and mount a small duffle on the bike.
Despite some minor concerns, I went ahead and modded the airbox the same way JT did. I've got it all put back together except for one piece. I will post pictures soon.
I just got the tank back from the shop and wanted to possibly do the airbox mod before I reinstall. I've read the airbox thread in its entirety and am still not conviced it's good for the bike. Can I get a few more opinions? Thanks in advance!
I've had my 9 and 5 year old sons helping me with all of the mods. Today we pulled the tank to take in for decal removal and painting. All that we have left is to install a charger/adapter, put the tank back on when it's finished at the bodyshop, add decals, clean, and wax. I can't wait...
Past few days....Removed decals, replaced oem windscreen, replaced oem mirrors, installed TRex sliders, installed new ProGrips, installed FE. Just a few more things and she'll be "perfect."
I'm just getting ready to pull the tank to take it in for decal removal and painting. For me, I want the tank to be as perfect as possible, and I'm no expert.
