Hey all you all you South Aussie FZ6 riders, who's interested in getting together for a ride?

[stumbles06]

Cool.

Am going out today to look for some new gear, gunna head to Boltons, Peter Stevens (City) and Yammy World... See what I can find.

[aussiejules]

Hills ride sounds good, you all can bring the family, ive only got the girl friend to fit on, it might be a bit of a squease for the rest of you though, ha ha. Its a bit of a bummer that we are at each end of adelaide, but will start at one end and finish the ride at the other, sounds good to me.

[stumbles06]

Well, not impressed with the amount of stock in the way of leather gear at Yammy world, although the young fella that I was talking to was helpful... (and he knows Jamie). I went to Peter Stevens in the city, man upstairs there is like heaven for bikers.

Am leaning towards the RST Rift gear at the moment...
Motorcycle Apparel
In Black/Silver... $400 for the jacket and $350 for the pants. Also thought about the Rift textile stuff... $350 for the jacket and $200 for the pants.

Gunna try 'em all on and see what's the go.

while your at it can you buy me some, any colour will do. They said the other day on the ride that peter stevens has a clearance shop across the road, did you check it out,
Also there is the leather shop on unley rd does bike and gocart leathers.

[stumbles06]

Damn, forgot about the shop over the road. I remember them saying it. Will have a look when I go back up there.

I found it very hard to find gear that fitted me on the shelf, but did find that if i looked on the Web, ie: RJays site, i could pick what i wanted, and get them to get it in to the shop in the size that i thought would be correct, did this with one of my pairs of boots, and jacket...both times the gear fitted perfectly.

Got my waterproof Falco boots from the Peter Stevens clearance shop for $120...elsewhere they are being sold for $200, they have heaps of gear there...more jackets & pants than anywhere else i looked - and i mean heaps!

Cant recommend the rjays gear enough though, i now have a great pair of leather pants, and matching Jacket, which zips to the pants for $540 total.

They both fit perfectly, have logical stretch panels, and full armour everywhere you need it. Leather is very soft too.

If you want more info re the Rjays stuff, here is the details of who to contact if you are interested...remember 10% discount if you are a Yamaha platinum club member...

By the way i just removed those reflectors you were talking about at our ride, Aussiejules...lol, you bought my attention to them, and they have been bugging me ever since....wont matter soon anyway, as i just ordered a fender eliminator from resart, at $99, with number plate light. They now have them in stock...will let you know what it's like when i get it.

If anyone else is interested, the contact for resart is

And here is a picture of one on an fz6

Finally, Action Motorcycles in Sydney have nice Joe Rocket Nylon Jackets, with full armour, in all sizes, and three colours for $100, down from $300...might be worth a look, Stumbles?

That fender eliminator looks identical to mine , just a word of warning though,make sure you put the stock red reflector back on it .
I know a few people who got booked for not having it.will post a pic of mine.
I also had to trim my plate a little to fit inside the indicators.

[aussiejules]

I keep looking at mine and keep going to take it off, just too lazy. Will attack soon as well as start cutting bits off also.

Thought about cutting my fender, but i am scared it will end up being crap. Anyway's have bought the fender eliminator now, so i dont have to.

[stumbles06]

I've seen some pics of the sides of the "hugger" being chopped up a bit, looks better when you can see the whole wheel. Might have a go at that some time. I like the look of OzFazer's wheels too with the polished edges, would like to give that a go too.
