ER6N, Versys and ER6F/Ninja 650r riders in Auckland?

[zeocen]

Hi !

I was just wondering how many fellow ER6/Versys riders there are in Auckland. I was talking to Maverick and he seemed pretty keen to get some rides organised (right, Mav?) for fellow ER6'ers, and I myself was just wondering who else in the greater Auckland region owns one? Would be dead keen on meeting up with owners and seeing their modifications (if any) and just general gawking at other sexy parallel twin 650's!

Cheers!

Hah. Should've got an A100. That's where all the parties are at :yes:

[zeocen]

I just so happen to have one :P It's parked up snuggly in a mancave next to an RZ350! You've gotta get one, so we can lower the bars and do some mini cafe racing ;D

hey,

well im in tauranga, and might be keen to meet up aswell. (if any one else posts. lol)

I have done a few mods:
-Lower handel bars
-Zero Gravity touring wind screen
-R&G Frame sliders
-Arrow exhaust
-Pipercross air filter
-Power Comander III
-Tail tidy
-Pin stripes on the wheels

The picture in my profile has only got the pin stripes on the wheels.

Hey dude, how are you finding the ZG touring windscreen? What kind is it? The tall tours or normal tours?

I've been keen to get one since I'm 6'1 and the wind buffers right on my chest/neck, making the wind come up my helmet.. but they have like 5 different screens that I didn't know what to get.

[N1CK]

Yea its great, a lot better than the old one.

Um its the light smoke touring from the ninja650shop website (http://www.motospecialties.com/store.asp?store=ninja650shop&level=type&type=Windscreens)

Hi, Na sorry I sold them to someone for the same reason.

Hey mate, I've changed my bars to Renthal Streetfighters, I love them so I won't have any need for stock ones, how much are you looking to buy them for?

[zeocen]

Also N1CK, what's the Arrow exhaust like? I had a micron on mine but it was the race spec can and it was FAR too loud for me.. basically I'm looking for one that will be as quiet as stock but will rise in db when revved, or just as quiet as stock with a different tone.

Hey,
Thanks for the repsonse.. Are they complete with the end weights etc..? Not sure on the price.. have you got a figure in mind?

[zeocen]

Yup I got everything.

I have the handle bars, bar ends and OEM grips that got about 2,000km use so they are still very fresh looking.

I'm not sure of a price but I'll just say all up, $120? Let me know what you think and we can go from there mate.

[Matt]

Bargain if you ask me :beer: I bought some replacement bars for my ER6n from Kawasaki as they were $180 odd!

Hey,

Yea the Arrow with the db killer in, is pretty much what you describe.
Which is, a bit louder than stock but gives out a nice noise in high revs. (I wouldn't say its as quiet as stock, but its def not loud loud.)

But then you can take the db killer out, and it is a completely different sound. Very loud and deep. :D
I currently keep mine in.

And if you haven't heard, stay away from the two brothers pipe for this bike. A big percentage of people who have had them said they just literally fall apart.

Here's the site I bought my stuff off. Nice people, ship fast and have cheap prices.

I bought one ER6F green one for 2 week . Have stock no wait after pay , But the Givi top box rack cost me 6 weeks to wait . :sleep: I should do it by hand made , not complex . But a $65 compatible box with plate can easily found on trademe . 300 to 65 I find it has fair quality , let me try for a period .

[Matt]

Don't suppose anyone has a standard ER6/Versys exhaust they don't want?

It's a bit late I know, but I'm in Auckland and am riding an 08 650R. Will even have a standard exhaust in a few days that may be going spare Matt, if yo still need one.

Lime green, ventura handlebar, Leo Vince oval exhaust.

I left a guy (on a new bright green ER6N) behind on the Waipuna Bridge this weekend - that was fun

It's all good mate - thanks for the offer though - I managed to track down the previous owner of the bike who still had the standard can (had to give him $50 for it though!).

Hi All,

Ive just bought an '07 ER6f and have been riding it for a few weeks. A fantastic bike.

What mods do you recommend doing? I am thinking of getting a hugger first. Any brand recommendations?

Cheers.

I use the box for 6 months . The screws come with the box loss 1 , so I change to GiVi rack's anti-loose screw and bolt , now it was perfect , never loose again . The structure of the box I rather satisfied :sunny: . I can put in 2 Shoei helmet because they has smaller out shell . Here is the site . I fix the metal plate direct on Givi rack , so do'nt by the Givi plate . I only grinded ankled one of the transeverse bar , and 2 screw direct on Rack's holes .

I can not reply it in private box .

Biased I suppose, but the slip-on exhaust goes a long way to improving the sound of the bike. The OEM exhaust is the heaviest block of metal I've pulled off a bike.

If you're into touring though, I would say a Radguard radiator cover or comfier seat would be the biz.

I have a pair of Suburban Machinery bars I want to swap for OEM er6 bars:
