    EBC Pads?

    Ok, I need to change brake pads on my wife's 2014 FZ6R. Looking around (Amazon, Revzilla, eBay, etc), I am now throughly confused. 140, 174, 199, and a few others show up. EBC website isn't useful either. Will anyone tell me what the front & back EBC part numbers are? Preferably Amazon, as...

    After taking 3 trips to the mountains, and one scheduled for Arkansas, I can say unequivocally...that this addition was the BEST investment I've made for my wife's bike!

    FZ6R Givi v35 side hardbags

    Thanks Dart. I learned, through trial and error, to load the bags on my FJR on the bed first. Invariably, one always takes more than is necessary. :rolleyes:

    FZ6R Givi v35 side hardbags

    It fits! The instructions are more like a parts list, so you'll need to use your brain to figure it out. The 4 brackets aren't marked L/R, so you'll need to do that brain teaser first. Hint: put the left side on first, so the connection underneath the fender will go more smoothly.

    Lowering Links??

    I lowered my wife's 2014 with the Soupy link. It went in ok, but took some effort. It was a 1 1/2" drop, and I dropped the front end .75". It handles just like stock, even at 100mph. Best of luck, Rob

    FZ6R Givi v35 side hardbags

    Yes, I saw that. It lists for 2009-2012, how about 2014? Any changes? Twisted Throttle responded saying they didn't have any brackets that fit the 2014, though he just used the site like I did. Chatted with Revzilla, and he thought they just haven't updated the info, but it should still fit...

    FZ6R Givi v35 side hardbags

    ??? Ok, what am I doing wrong? I've searched Revzilla, Twisted Throttle, and even Givi, but none show a fitment for a 2014 FZ6R (V35 & Rapid Release bracket).

    Another windscreen alternative mine arrived today

    Got the same one for my wife's bike and she loves it! Last September we rode a 2,300 mile week in the mountains, and not one complaint about buffeting.

    FZ6r Too Heavy Question

    Think about it. Sitting on your bike, turn the bars far right. Now, which way would the bike be easiest to fall over?

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Put on the Shogun frame sliders. Taking into account Murphy's Law, my wife will never drop her bike again. :steve:

    To ride or not to ride. Need your help.

    I stopped riding, in the mid 80's, for the same reasons you are thinking about. After a while the jonesing for riding stopped, mainly because of family and job obligations. Have been back on a bike since Dec '12, and now my daughter and wife have bikes. Could have kept riding, and maybe...

    How to take corners more effectively?

    This is what I did with my wife and daughter. Took them on a road they're familiar with, and with very little, to no traffic. First, we would enter a corner (say, 35 posted), and do 15 mph. Do it again at 20, then again at 25, and so on until we reached 35. By the time we got to 35, they...

    Help make this easier.

    I had to replace the bar, and was worried about the left grip. WD40 and a long, skinny screwdriver took care of it easy-peasy. Thanks.
