| '98 tank overflow hoses routing - HELP |

Hello All,
I forgot to take photos while disassembled the bike, now I don't know where went the two rubber hoses, which comes from the fuel tank. I know theres a black rubber funnel on the later bikes, but mines is the old one, with two longish, separate hoses plugged into the bottom of the tank, and they go towards the ground...somewhere. So, anybody has some photos, or can explain it, where to route these, please? Left, right, between the carbs, or? Also, I'm not sure about the two overflow hoses of the carbs, too... these are too short, to reach below the swingarm.... any ideas?
Thank you in advance!

To anyone thinking of going down the BoosterPlug route....read on.
I watched AndyManCam's YouTube video where he installed one on his FZ1 and thought I'd try and find one for the FZ6. Well, it turns out that they are £129 a go brand new.....but the internal gubbins on all models appears to be the same. Just the plugs at the ends are different for each motorcycle model.
So, my solution isn't quite plug'n'play but very close.
I picked up a BoosterPlug off Marketplace for £60 and then grabbed some no-strip wire connectors off Amazon for £8 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DK7HBKR
It is as simple as it sounds - cut the female plug off the BoosterPlug (with a good 8cm of wire attached) and attach a connector at each cut end. Cut the female plug off the AIT sensor and swap 'em over whilst keeping the wire colours in the right orientation.
Works a treat! Much smoother acceleration and less jerkiness when opening up the throttle from idle in 2nd gear.
Still got half a tank of fuel so I'll fill up at some point and log the mileage for that full tank on Fuelly and see if mpg changes. By all accounts it doesn't change at all, but I'll find out for myself.

| FZ1 front calipor rattle - work around! |

So like a lot of other FZ1 owner I am being iritated by the rattle on the front calipers
- https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=3139.0
In a nushell the calipers on the FZ1 dont seem to be of the same qaulity/design as the ones on my previous FZS1000. The rattle is caused by wear in the caliper body where the side of the pads touch the caliper.
From memory I think Gnasher said the best long term fix is to replace the calipers which those of an XJR or an FJ. before I start looking I thought I would ask if anyone found a work around for the issue.
I havent checked yet, but I think making sure the pistons all move freely may also help a bit (So when its not so hot outside, will so the push out, sctahcbright, push back on them)
