    2013 harley Davidson Fatbob...Why?

    I know what he means when he says "commands respect" as I've seen the same response with my Harley. Especially from Law Enforcement and Firemen. There's a comradery amongst riders in general but I've experienced a HUGE improvement in that area since I've been on the Nightster, and maybe because...

    2013 harley Davidson Fatbob...Why?

    I've sat on that bike, and it is very cool. I traded my FZ6R last September for a Harley Nightster. My story was similar except I was going for a GSXR 750 or 1000. After hitting every dealership in the Baton Rouge area I hit the Harley shop last. Man they were on their A game. The cutomer...

    Woodcraft Clip Ons

    I didn't have to drill any holes at all. I just dropped the front (raised the fork tubes up), measured for fit, and slid the clamps on, adjusted and tightened.

    Thinking Of Selling My Baby

    I say go for it too. I traded my FZR for a Harley. I always wanted one since I was a kid and it's been awesome, however lately I've been missing the nimbleness and agility of the FZ6R. I was looking at the Gixxers before opting for the Harley and sometimes wish I would've gone with the GSXR...

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Man your bike looks awesome. Your headlight and that screen really set it off. I sold my FZR last September and perusing this site lately REALLY makes me miss it. Great job on the mods guys.

    Woodcraft Clip Ons

    I lowered my front around 1.5 - 2 inches when I did this and loved the result. I didn't do 100+ mph so I never noticed any straight away issues. I sold the bike last September and am on a Harley Nightster now and am loving it...however I do miss the FZR sometimes. It was such a fun bike with an...

    Marthy's Airbox mod

    Thanks for the info. I took a long ride yesterday and really got an appreciation for our bike again. I've had a cruiser, Ninja 6R, and a Supermoto, and this FZ6R has all of what I wanted from those bikes nestled in a great package. She's a keeper. With these mods discussed here I believe the...

    Marthy's Airbox mod

    I spoke with my friend at my Yamaha dealership and asked him if he thought this mod would help significantly and would it void my warranty if I performed it myself. He said yes, it would definitely help give some extra ponies and yes and no concerning the warranty. He said if I burned up my...

    I will ride it out!

    Thanks. The Amite river was supposed to crest this evening. I'm not sure where it is now...I suppose I'll find out soon as I'm about to leave work. Hope I can make it home. You guys have a great evening.

    I will ride it out!

    Glad to hear you and yours are fine. I'm between Hammond and Baton Rouge and we just got power back last night. We weren't hit quite as hard as you guys, but the roads are flooded and trees are down. When you go without power for four days it really lets you know you love the 21st century. I...

    Great ideas. I'd definitely support something of the sort myself.

    Fz6r wins another shootout

    In the back of some mags they have a "reader's rides" section. Usually there is some sort of prize if your bike gets selected for the mag. They usually give a website to send your pictures to. I know Super Street Bikes has such a section. They even gave tips on how to take great pics. Example...
