    Screaming Banshee Wannabe Air Horn & Headlight Flash Mod

    So, here I am enjoying riding my bike a lot, but now lamenting that my mod phase is nearly over, thinking about other less exciting projects, like mowing the lawn... :-( Ah ha! The idea of upgrading my horn pops into my head. I actually never use my horn. The only times I remember is when I...

    Brotella T6 Synthetic oil compared to Yamalube Conventional

    So my friends urged me to try Shell Rotella T6. I bought my 2012 Fizzer with 2200 miles on it last year. I knew the former original owner, who unfortunately passed away suddenly. I have the receipts for every year when he had the stealership inspect the bike and change the oil & filter every...

    Sena speakers suck for music... Dolby Surround Sound for under $20. Yep!

    Ok, maybe not Dolby Surround Sound, but how about taking out 40% or so of the wind noise in your helmet, get close to double the volume, and actually hear bass? After a recent 3-day MC trip it became really clear the the Sena SMH10 speakers suck to listen to music. Very tinny, volume so low...

    First "long" trip in 45 years!

    So me and my 2 Amigo's (son Jake and friend Tim) went on a whopping 450 mile ride to Little Switzerland, NC to ride the Diamondback loop and tour the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP). I had only done a 200 mile trip previously, on my stock seat. I walked like John Wayne for 3 days. After modding my...

    Rox 1"up/1"back Risers - Yes, you can use stock lines and cables

    A while back I added these risers after I did my seat height mod (separate post). I really like these combined with my seat. I'm 6'3" tall with most of that height in my legs. Combine that with 3 back surgeries and I needed a more upright seating position. Another forum member wanted to see...

    What to do if you hate your Raven's stupid Japanese graphity cartoonish faring art

    What to do if you don't like your Raven's Japanese graphity cartoonish faring art Well, there are lot's of things you could do. My first practical solution consideration was to razor blade score the part of the factory vinyl I wanted to remove, heating it and remove it. But that would likely...

    FS: stock front and rear brake lines. Excellent. $30 you pay frt.

    From my 2012 FZ6R, 4,000 miles, always garaged. I had put a little piece of adhesive backed foam and Tesa tape on rub points you can see if you carefully look at pic. No damage there, or anywhere, I was preventing it. All Banjo bolts included. You will want new crush washers. Please...

    First wrap ever!

    Not very hard to do... it takes time to understand how the film stretches and moves with heat. Surprisingly easy, sort of!

    So I watched my riding buddy crash yesterday.... He's OK, I am an emotional wreck!

    *NEW PIC* I watched my buddy crash yesterday. He's OK, I am an emotional wreck! **Update** Since I am literally having flashbacks from watching this accident, I went back to the crash site yesterday on a very nice ride in nearly 80 degree weather! First of all, this is a relatively short...

    Ear Plugs - who rides with them?

    What did you say?..... Say again? So after all my mods my bike is really loud. I like it a lot. But, I was noticing after some rides I'd have a bit of a headache. If we stopped for lunch or a beverage, I was kind of spacey and sometimes felt the affect of all that noise not hearing people...

    Got T-Rex rear spool adaptors: What's wrong with this picture?

    Hey, just a heads up for you folks with T-Rex bolt-clamp style rear spools: check those bolts and positioning once in a while! I use my paddock stand all the time. When I was doing my SS brake lines yesterday. When I walked behind the bike I had to do a head scratch...Hummmmm, is my paddock...

    In-A-Pinch Tire Repair Travel Kit

    Thought I would give this a try to carry in my tail pack. They come with either C02 cartridge or an electric pump that connects to your Battery Tender plug; I went that route. The 2 kits weighed pretty close, although this one is bulkier. Neither would have fit under my seat with my PC5 and...

    TechSpec Custom Shape Snake Skin Tank Pads... Get some!

    These pads were nearly the last mod in a long list I’ve done to my 2012 FZ6R that I got just a few months ago… I should have done them first! Placing them correctly was a bit harder than the ones we did on my son’s SV650, and his 250 Ninja, because of the grey swirly tank paint tank graphics...

    Shorty levers ?

    Shorty levers... Custom cut OEM style! I have read about and shopped these, but never used them. They are not cheap for good ones. I frequently ride using a two finger brake and clutch actuation. I also alternate between winter and summer gloves frequently this time of year in NC. With my...
