New Mods, New Toys (rizoma ripoffs/helmet/grill)

[Geoff]

First of all I would like to start this right up about the handgrips, these are the Rizoma ripoff grips(as seen on ebay), I saw a thread about them about a week ago, so I figured why not try them. So far I am very happy with them, they were like about $40 and they do seem to take some of the vibrations out of the handlebars, but these are honestly my first time I have ever changed my grips. So if your curious about the quality, I give em a thumbs up.:thumbup: HOWEVER, I have never tried the rizoma grips, so Its not really a comparison. But I like them
These are called the D3 Alloy Motorcycle grips.

Now to the Grill, I saw ridgeback's grill and thought, OOOOOOoooo, I like, the standard radiator look just was an eye sore for me. This is a great not too expensive mod plus easy to install! I think this really added my bike personally. There are several different types floating around on ebay, but make sure you check them all out!

Thanks Ridgback! Your bike pic helped a lot in deciding.

And now my last toy, I got a new helmet after couple years of use of my first one. This is got to be the best bang for the buck. This is a GMAX helmet with the leds in the back, honestly I didnt know it had leds till I got it, lol. It comes with 3 led covers, 2 dark smokes, and 1 red, also come with 2 visors, 1 tint, 1 clear. And of course the pouches. I payed like 118.00 USD free shipping!

ALSO I got my corbin seat in which works with my seat cowl, payed $200

Anyway thanks for stopping in!

How do you like that helmet? I have the white "crusader" version of it and I dont quite like the feel compared to my old Shoei.

Yeah its much more better on my ears, my previous helmet which is a HJC, really hurt my ears from time to time. this is a little more room on my head, also I heard these Gmax fit one size bigger.

 

[Chaosratt]

Maybe thats the issue, I bought it online and sized it the same as my Shoei which was a bit snug. The Gmax feels looser.
My problem with the Shoei wasnt my ears, it was my cheeks. My cheeks and teeth always felt sore a little after a long ride.

Ill post final picture monday when its sunny and nice outside, im waiting for the clear coat on the front fairing to dry, orginally after the first time I painted it, the clear coat had encountered dust. Missouri hasent been nice lately.

Ok I see the pics now. How hard is it to change the grip on the throtle side? I got an fz1 bar comming and I don't want to reuse the stock grips. Do you have to glue those down?

The grips were tougher than a year in jail to get them on, I used an air compressor with a silicant lubricant. They don't move at all. Couldn't twist them if you tried.

Looks great, Geoff! That helmet is really cool too! You've done an amazing job on your conversion. :thumbup:

 

[Stumbles06]

I like the Rad Guard, looks cool.
Let us know how the grips fair after some decent miles with them.

:rockon:

That probably the nicest looking corbin I've seen for the FZ6 and it looks comfy as well! I'd like to get a radiator guard similar to that but I've been trying to find a nice black one instead.

You should try RadGuard in Australia - bought them for every bike we own/have owned - they even give you a hat, stubby holder and sticker :cheer:

Rad Guard : - SHOP Motorcycle Radiator Guards Australia. - Rad Guard Australia


Here's a pic of my bike with the black one on.

Wow, thanks for the tip on these items! I just bought the evotech one off ebay. Not a bad price and I love that it's powder coated. Too bad it doesn't have the "FZ6" like yours but it'll still look very nice.

Sweet as nut Geoff :thumbup:
One thing though,you gotta lose those fork reflectors
