I bought 2010 FZ1 bars from parts shark.com for my 05 FZ6 $36.96 Shipped.
First impressions: Its not wider then the fz6r bar at all. I know i read somewhere that the fz1 bar is much longer or wider then stock but i didnt experience this. I was actually disappointed as well because the wrist position looks almost identical to the fz6r bars. I decided to put them on anyways to try them. I did have to file down the nubs on the controls so i didnt have to drill a any holes in the bar, but over all no big deal. Have not ridden yet because its rainy looking all day today in SD.
I do have an issue that i need help with. After adjusting the bars so i have barely enough clearance from lock to lock and not hitting the tank. My brake line looks pinched sort of. I pushed it over the big top of the fork thing but its still pretty tight. It rubs the odometer when at full lock to the left and presses against the clamp bolt very strongly. Suggestions??
