Original Yamaha part for FZ6R.
I never used the side bars they are still in the box.
Only took out the four bolts to replace factory grab handles.
Was plenty strong for any luggage and looked great.
$50
I have a givi top case somewhere as well for $20
Pickup is near Erin Mills Town Centre...
I changed my brake fluid today and noticed a big difference in the braking performance.
The colour of the old fluid wasn't that bad or that much darker then new fluid. It was hard to tell the new fluid so I did about 6 full reservoirs to finish my bottle.
I used bel ray super dot 4 so not...
Had a chance today to test the new 2013 Kawasaki 636. My current bike is a 2009 fz6r and last week I tested the 2013 cbr600rr.
Ok all I can say is wow. If you read my post last week I had a great time on the new honda but was not convinced in my situation worth upgrading to the Honda.

I had a chance to test the new 2013 CBR600RR for about hour.

2.Notice how curved the stand is.
3.Install the...
Reading the forums I was really interested in HID for the FZ6R but was concerned that halogen's are better during the day time where I do the bulk of my riding. I did ended up buying a DDM kit for my car. Great at night.
Reason why I didn't buy for the FZ6R as during the day it's my opinion...

I'm actually looking for LED turn's in the grip protector like ducati street fighter.
Contemplating buying a standard front fork stand or upgrading to a stem stand.
Also if anyone has a stem stand for FZ6R what type of adapter pin is needed.
OK before I start I want to give a background on how I got here. I never thought I wanted bluetooth, listen to music while I ride and don't agree with it.
First I thought I would try ear buds with a cord to my cell phone and kind of liked it. Actually hard to now go on a ride without music...
Hey guys bought the OEM Yamaha Top Carrier Mount as backpack is getting tired.
I choose not to install the lower braces as the mount is pure aluminum and is super stiff. The lower braces would also hit my turn signals.
I'm debating to have the mount painted yellow or black. The silver...
