Nobody else mentioned it so I will. The bigger your passenger the more noticable they will be. So getting the fell is much easier with a light passenger and working up. Not that I have any idea of the size of your passenger.

This was all very interesting and it is good knowledge to have, BUT, I have already told my salesman to remove the rear seat and put on the seat cowl and he is to also remove the rear foot pegs. I plan on never taking a passenger on my ZX-6R when I get it. iT'S just a thing I have about fowling up the handleing of the machine, it wont feel like a sport bike with someone on the back. Also it does not look to comfortable for a passenger on back one of these machines. I figure removing all that stuff will make it easy to resist that cute little blond!!!!!!

I agree with you, that machine was never built to carry pillions. Now how about you find a cute blonde that has a fetish for washing and polishing :laughing:

To this time all I have been thinking about is the machine. Now that will be trouble. " Houstin We Have A Problem "
