    Aftermarket Corbin Seat

    I had one on my FZ6R when I sold the bike. I purchased it from another member for $300 i think. I'm not sure how many miles the original owner put on it, but he definitely took care of the "Corbin breakin" for me. It was significantly more comfortable than stock, and aside from upgraded shock...

    Use a ramp to get you're bike into the house?

    It's actually amazing how many of life's little problems can be cured by that very advice :) Russ

    Fz1 Handlebars=Agressive OEM Fit

    +1 on the slice the nipple off instead. The problem with drilling the hole is that the controls position on the bars is fixed. You can't rotate the bars without rotating the controls, and that can put the controls in some pretty uncomfortable positions. If you cut the nipple, the bars can be...

    What's your "other" hobby?

    My latest is doing time trials in a Miata track car. The car is supercharged, weighs in at slightly less than 2000 lbs and has close to 200 WHP. This is at Sears Point last Friday.

    New bike. But in love with the Fz6r, again.

    Yes, please do the review. I've been getthing these strange urges and have been sneaking by my Ducati dealers and sussing out that same bike. Russ

    Thinking about getting another bike

    A couple of things ... gross generalizations I know, but still LOL ... 1st, there's never going to be a shortage of people telling you that it's too dangerous to ride. Most of the time they mean well, but they're also mostly either the kind of people that are generally afraid of doing...

    FLY Bar Ends

    Instead of drilling the bars, one other option is to file the little nubs down and don't use them to locate the bars. You can tighten the controls down more than enough without the nubs and you can then also reposition the controls independent of bar position. Russ

    FLY Bar Ends

    Actually, you can do better than stock. There are heavier bar ends available from Hudson Valley Motorsports Parts - Motorcycle Handle Bar Ends to Reduce Vibrations I installed a set a while ago and I believe Marthy did as well. They definitely work better than stock. Also, Rizoma...
