New fzs600 rider who is heavy

[Dead Eye]

I was nearing 20 stone when I had my first 600 and it was perfectly fine

Hi like folks have said I wouldn't worry too much about it. 22 stone is still less than having someone on pillion, the bike will cope.
On a different note I'm loving that boxeye, kitted out in 'stealth mode' by Ponkster

Thanks Mr Dog - it was purely practical for a winter bike and the mat rattle can is the only one I have found to be petrol resistant for the tank. I also added TDM gators on the forks last time I did the seals to keep the Scottish winter (and salt) out.


It was not my intention to give the bike a 'look' but I have to confess it does look good and is a very practical bike now I have done most of the popular mods - ( sprocket nut, braided pipes, front and rear suspension upgrades, double bubble screen , foxeye mirrors, better pegs,shortie adjustable levers, rental bars, stainless steel exhaust system with cut down scorpion can,  hugger and a bigger late model tank).


Shit that looks like a lot when you write it down - but Ive had the bike a long time and cant bring my self to sell it , hence it new role as shite weather/ winter hack.

It's an achievement to keep any bike rolling winter after winter, to do it with style is an art in itself
