    7Zero7 helmet airflow?

    Or it should say "nonexistent" airflow. Helmet is a GREAT feel, and fit, but it flat out doesn't breathe. That's a bad thing for riding in the Florida heat. Is there a way to increase the flow without damaging the safety integrity of the helmet itself?

    Engine Ice vs Regular coolant?

    Hello, I was planning on doing a coolant change and i am hearing Engine ice lowers the temp better than the standard coolant. My engine tends to run a little hot +200F because i do a lot of stop and go riding through traffic. Has anyone used Engine ice before as coolant? Is there any...

    Here is the thing. Upon finally getting out on the Interstate I notice my bike is really high up in the RPM's. Doing 80 the other day I was at 8,000 rpm's. I kept wanting to hit the phantom 7th gear. Seems like the bike is really working its a$$ off to keep up with the flow of traffic. Seems...

    Lowering and Clip Ons

    I've been wanting to lower my fz6r and have been planning on getting the roaring toyz lowering link and kickstand (1.75" lower I think).
