WELCOME!!! and hell that's quite the fathers day gift :thumbup: Here's all you need to know about an Exhaust, http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/29096-ever-wondered-exhaust-should-i-buy.html , as for a seat I still have stock (which sucks) but don't have the money for a Top Sellerie Seat which I hear is best. Anyways if you use the Search function on the site you can pretty much find anything you'd ever want to see. Don't forget to post some pics of your baby cause we are all FZ6 obsessed here :rockon:

Hey, I'm new here myself, but have been lurking ever since I was thinking about getting an FZ6 and finally getting one back in December. The members of this forum seem really great and know a LOT about these babies!! Hope you find it as awesome as I have been!

About the exhausts, I read a thread on here recently that was really good about a whole bunch of different exhausts:

Exhaust Thread (one of the many many on here!)

jtarkany did a lot of legwork and scanned in a cool article about a whole bunch of exhaust options for the FZ6. So if you can read german fluently, you're all set! lol. Actually, it has some great data and graphical dyno comparisons and descriptions in there, so even though I can't read a damn thing, it is still really helpful and a lot of people commented on their experience as well.

It seems as though some popular choices here are the Two Bothers, Scorpions and Leo Vince exhausts. I unfortunately dont have experience with any of these, but hopefully some more senior members on here can chime in and help you out! hope this gets you off to a start though.

BTW, the search function on here is amazing!! It's helped me find a crapload of info about almost anything you could imagine to ask about the FZ6. Anyways, hope this helps as a start!

Hey all just found the site when looking for mods for my FZ6

this is my fist street bike ever the wife got it for me last fathers day
so any tips wold be welcome, looking to change pipes and seat first off
which pipes sound the best on the FZ6,

Gotta say, :welcome: but :needpics:

Modding on this site is addictive. You see what someone else has got and either you copy them or get your own version of their mod. :D

Best thing is to check our "FZ6 Mods" thread and take your pic. I would advise to start of slowly and cheaply - maybe go for a little bling at first - maybe new grips or levers - and just keep going from there.

Remember, ride safe, post often and post pics. We all love pics here. Check out members profile pages - we often post pics in there too. :rockon:

Oh and, by the way, Scorpion Carbon Fiber slip-ons are the best looking and sounding pipe out there. Not that I'm biased.... :BLAA:
