I sold my '09 fz6r a few months ago and went with a '12 street triple R. At my age, riding position takes priority. For street riding, it just rips. The STR is too fun. But I love the look of sport bikes. but it's not the type of riding I mostly do. Good luck finding the right bike for you...

...and the reason for my name..

Safety laws sometimes go too far, but some really do protect the idiots. (Kind of like the seat belt law - I was an idiot, now I am converted). So for me, for helmet laws is a good thing. Interesting, on this site and a lot of motorcycle sites, there is always discussion about gearing up...

Whoa...the last few have been pretty good deals, both new and used. Not seeing these prices in CA...

how big a guy are you and where do you ride mostly?

2nd OT.....:)

I had the lowering link and the stock kickstand. It was stable enough on level ground, but you are on any kind of grade, you have to be careful and tilt downhill. Otherwise it might fall over. What I ended up doing is cut the stock stand about 1 inch from the bottom, grind it a bit and jam...

Like new at that price, would have been a great price. Still not a bad price.. minor stuff.

I was between the fz6r and a f4i before I bought the 6r. Super bike. I still want it. Lighter and more power. Decent ergos. The only thing was last year is 2006. 2003 for the split seat. So finding an undamaged, low miles bike is harder. Seat height is higher, for me I would have to lower...

They look the identical and are 3 wire. The set came with mounting tape as well as mounting screws. So i thought I'd try the tape first... (Hey - I have raven too! I've seen the signals sold in black, carbon, chrome.)

...In the old days, they did not have an option to take a course in lieu of the skills test in calif :rolleyes:

Thanks - made my day :rof::rof:

I got these as well. Had them on for a month so far. They stick out enough to help on being more visible and the running light (3 wire) is also nice.

5ft diameter is impossible. Calif is 20ft inner circle and 24 ft outer, and you have to ride in between them. If you find a lot with parallel parking, the lines are +/-10 ft. Figure 8's in 2 parking spots. Practice enough and you'll get it. I hope you have frame sliders on..

..just used a socket and extensions from underneath. I did not remove or open the plastic. :o

I finally installed the alternate mirrors. The OEM, to me, just looked too tall. I order the zx6r mirrors off ebay and was sent the wrong ones -twice! Finally I got what I thought was the correct ones. After the install I looked closely at the base I'm thinking these are not the pictured...

I just installed the lowering link. I had been riding and one-footing it, which was fine. I got the roaring toyz link to make backing up, slow turns on slopes, etc. a little easier. It just more comfortable than being on the balls of your feet. I didn't want to mess with shaving the seat. So...

I use reg unleaded. I don't notice any diff and even if there was, any fractional improvement it's not worth it to me. (Otherwise, I would be looking buy a faster bike. :cool:)

ride until it starts flashing, then try to get gas in the next 20 mi.

$4500 for an '09 Raven with under 2k mi and extended warranty still on the bike. Condition is 9-9.5 out of 10.
