FZ1N Naked Headlight Project

For those that haven't seen this on the other forum, I've started a naked project inspired by Wavex and others, and many of the Euro flavors out there. Figured some of you might be interested. The difference is that I'm using the naked FZ1 headlight which I purchased at Burlington Yamaha in NC Burlington Yamaha | FZ1N & FZ6N Headlight Kit. I like it better than the stock FZ6N headlight, and better than most of the other models. It comes as a kit, including the bracket, wiring harness, side panels and all the hardware bits. It does not fit perfectly to the frame so there are some bracket modifications that are necessary, including the use of fork clamps. The pics here are the of the dry fit. The wiring is complete (there is some cutting/soldering required to adapt to the FZ6 plugs, and I'll finish up the bracket mods shortly. A couple of key pluses with this headlight option: The speedo bracket fits perfectly (for 07+) as do the FZ6 stock blinkers. :thumbup:

Other components you might notice: TCP seat cowl, Puig bellypan, Optima radiator panels, Pazzo levers, rizoma rearsets and Leov exhaust. Additionally, I painted the side covers flat black and may also do that to the front fender.

Looks good and i don't usually like 'em with the fz6n headlight. Good job.

Looks really good, was it naked before or did it have the upper fairing?

maybe if everyone does this it will make mine that much more special!



but I still consider it when I see your bike wavex! :thumbup:

Well, we are still a small minority in the US, but I`ve seen about half a dozen ppl start their naked projects in the past 3 months... which is awesome!

^ right-o! And I want to get on a mag cover too!

Wavex - saw you got them all spun up in the streetfighter site!

HAHAHAHA did you see that? I was laughing my ass off

Did you join the forum? Cool guys there... lots of great ideas as well... some guys do some serious work on their bike, not the pussy stuff we're about :Sport:

Such a nice bike!

Definitely a lot of naked projects this winter...my naked conversion started in August when I crashed at the track....lol

Been :Lurking: over there. They are hardcore.

You know, as much as I'd like to like the chopped off seat look, I kinda hate it. :rockon:

Thanks man.

Planning! This way when I go down I know I've got a nice set of plastics sitting in my garage.

Well, some of them are ugly, I agree... but a rear chop like this one below on the FZ would look so bad ass... I am trying to find that seat

That I like. But the chop where the single seat pad ends is unique and I respect them for it, but it's not for me.

yeah I hear you.

I just noticed the exhaust is missing ^^

I thought I was crazy, 'm lookin all around trying to figure out how they hid it so well.....

I like the naked look, just wondering if the wind and rain would beat you up since there is nothing to hide behind

I have no issues with the wind up to 100mph... then you need to hang on a little, but nothing that`ll stop me from opening up every once in a while

Sorry we don`t get rain here in california :Flip:
