What did you do to your bike today?

Installed my trex spool adapters today and realized the rear stand I have isn't wide enough. I bought a 25 dollar one on amazon. Anyone no a decent albeit cheap rear stand? Does the harbor freight stand work with the trex spools?

I think mistahT did not recommend the harbor freight stand. he made a vid on this go find it
Others on here liked the HF stands. I also asked for recommendations for other cheap stands. I don't need or want a $100 stand. Kind of annoyed because on Amazon they don't list the spool width that the stands can handle on all the models. I know Matthew didn't like the HF stand no point in finding the video thread.
So back to the original question, do you or anyone else have cheap/reasonable recommendations for a swingarm spool stand?

Track Day on Saturday 08/06/2013
meant Friday arvo breakdown and tape up,
Which then let me explore a graphic idea I have been toying with
(maybe plasti-dip maybe easiest way for this little fairing section?)
Now to put her back together for the road
...She looks so much better without liscence plate and mirrors

Washed and waxed my friend's dad's Kawasaki Vulcan Meanstreak. 1500cc cruiser and oh my god it is a beast. He's going to sell it (he doesn't want to... but he needs the money... washing it only made him sadder about it.) If I had the 4 grand he was asking for it, I'd snatch it up in a second. That bike is crazy loud and is just an all around great bike. Whats weird is that it doesn't have a chain, but a drive shaft. Saves me the 30 minutes of cleaning and lubing my chain on the 6R! lol
I had a Lethal Threat skull decal on my windscreen that matches my tank pad and resembles one of my tattoos.I changed my windscreen and needed a new decal so I stopped by AutoZone to order a new one (with my bike of course).They are discontinuing them, so I ordered the last 3 around so I can change them as needed.
That just put me in a spending and modding mood.So I logged into Motorcycle Superstore and started adding to my cart until I qualified for free shipping
I ordered a black Keiti windscreen screw kit (hope they work).
A Wiseco mount for my EJK, orange to match my seatcover.I emailed to check that it fits.It will work on the EJK and Juice Box.
Bel Ray chain oil.
Ogio 3 liter hydration bladder.
Already have a +1 front sprocket.So I ordered a 45 tooth JT Sprocket for the rear.Just need chain now.
And skull grip donuts lol.I've never tried them so for $3 why not

I remember them from when I was a kid LOL!
I used them on my BMX to stop getting sores on my thumb and that webbing between the thumb & index finger.
Enjoi the modding spree!

Im too lazy to look for price cause Im tired as hell, but the Trex stand works quite well with their adapters (I have them)

I like the motostance stand from mc superstore

I knew something was fishy about the sprocket so I wrote Marthy, thanks fror the advice you were right Marthy.I had a Lethal Threat skull decal on my windscreen that matches my tank pad and resembles one of my tattoos.I changed my windscreen and needed a new decal so I stopped by AutoZone to order a new one (with my bike of course).They are discontinuing them, so I ordered the last 3 around so I can change them as needed.

Motorcycle Superstore has sprockets listed for the Fz6r that are actually a 520 conversion for the Fz6.
Luckily they were out of stock because they already shipped my order.I hope none of our members ended up with one.It would really suck to realize the bolt layout is different after cutting off the original chain.
That would suck big Pelotas!
Yeap lol. Its MS's fault though, not JT Sprockets.
I went to JT Sprockets website, they clearly have that sprocket labeled for the Fz6 with 130mm between bolts.They also have a full lineup of sizes for the Fz6r showing a 150mm layout between our bolts.So JT Sprockets definitely has different sprockets for the two models 130mm layout vs 150mm.
Was gonna ride to work today, but it was thunderstorming and coming down pretty good when I left for work................
Then, OF COURSE, After I am at work for about 5 minutes it turns around and looks pretty nice out!
If I woulda tried riding my shoes and socks woulda been soaked. Need to get me a pair of them Tourmaster Waterproof boots. Or at minimum re-waterproof my current HD Badlands boots. Had a feeling I shoulda gotten the Sidi Vertigo waterproofs instead of the standard model.

Nice! Smart move also!
I need to find a better back protector to put in my Tourmaster Transition 3 jacket instead of that flimsy triple density pad. Dont want a strap on one though, want one that fits in the back protector pocket on the jacket
Since my jacket is a Joe Rocket, I just got their CE back protector to slip into the pocket. The difference between it and the foam pad that came with the jacket is substantial.
The Sena was my treat for buying something safety oriented.
My fender eliminator showed up today, sweet...
I just need it to not be raining and to get time to put it on bike... looks like another late night going out into the garage.
This rain needs to let up some already! All it's done the last week is rain at various times of day.
