What does an experienced Rider Coach like Redwing recommend for lower body protective gear?????

The Draggin Liners look like a good alternative. Plus the option to add armor in them is a nice feature too. However, as with all of these products, the chief complaint is that the pads/armor slide around--especially on the knees and shins--and therefore provide questionable protection in the...

Forgot to mention that I saw DeputyDog tried these last year and seemed to be happy with them. Was wondering if anyone else had feedback to share on them before I give 'em a shot.

Has anyone purchased this product? Bohn Armor Pants I'm in the market for lower body protective gear and this seems like just the ticket. No worries about getting the exact right size or color since it goes under your jeans or riding pants. Seems like a real bargain at $159 since it...

Duke You rode in 45 degree weather with leather gloves but no liner?!!!!

Sorry to hear about your very unfortunate incident. Whenever I park at a public place, I'm always slightly worried that when I get ready to leave, I'll return to the parking lot to find my baby lying helplessly on her side. My heart breaks at the mere thought of it. :( Hopefully you'll be...

Thank you for your compliment, Buckwild!!!!:) I'll definitely post more pics very soon. The fairings are glossy black when you remove the stock decals. I didn't do anything to them. However, I REALLY like the carbon fiber decals that Bobby Bo Bonsin has on his fairings and will probably...

Bummer that you don't get to ride as much as you'd like. The upside is that you seem to get quite a bit of satisfaction from working on new and different mods for your bike. I will probably become more like you as the weather gets increasingly cooler here in Austin. No telling what Ruby might...

Thanks JT. I'm honored getting a compliment on Ruby from the owner of one of the sickest bikes on the forum! Bobby Bo--I see what you mean about it becoming an addiction. However, my creative inspiration isn't quite as strong as yours and JT's. I probably will replace the YAMAHA logo with...

Thanks Anson! Kicking myself for having waited this long to do it.

So True!!!!

Kudos to you Jlente! Congrats on getting your baby back on the road and kudos for doing all the work yourself and getting it done for under a grand. That's pretty impressive. I take it you've fully recovered from your injuries as well--yes? Nice job on both counts. Thanks for the...

Many thanks to Kevin8198 for the tank template and much respect to Bobby Bo Bonsin for inspiring me with his creative genius and generous advice. I removed the stock decals with a hair dryer and Goof Off and then applied the carbon fiber decal (from Autozone for $14.99) to the tank. In less...

Nice bike, Alex. You can never go wrong with yellow & black. The large decal on the wind screen is indeed a bit much, though. :o

Detrich's idea of using his clothes dryer reminded me of those hand warmer packets. "Grabber Hand Warmers" on Amazon Has anyone tried using them on the back of your hand inside your gloves?

Is anyone here attending the show in Dallas next weekend? I have a basic motorcycle maintenance class on the 10th and therefore will only be available for the show on November 11th. Would love to meet up with a fellow forum member there. It's a 3 hour drive from Austin so I'll be in the cage.

I wouldn't mind seeing an FZ6R tastefully done in black & red. In fact, if miracles do happen and Yamaha surprises me with red and black in 2014, I'll be first in line to take one home.

OMG. Very nice! Why not the red & black one to better match your beautiful bike?

Happy Birthday and Best Wishes for your well-being and safety, DaveMK.

As a user with the dubious name of "BlackCat", I REALLY hope I didn't jinx you JT! :eek:
