Producing Parts!

[Erci]

I will get in touch with Erci to test out and provide feedback on the prototype, hopefully everything is good as is and I can make these for those interested.

Got the bracket and was going to put it on, but ended up working all evening on my broken headlight. I'll do my best to try the bracket on tomorrow.

Hey guys, I dont post here much put lurk quite often on all the good info

Anyways besides the point I work at a sheet metal company as an Engineer, and I would like to make some parts from my FZ6, I just wanted to see if theres any interest in the community on anything specific.

So give me ideal and lets see how much interest there is in what ever it is! :thumbup:

I really want some auxillary light mounts/brackets... I know the Denali LED's mount to the lower fork legs, but I want something higher up... Closer to the headlights... To my knowledge nothing like this exists for the FZ6... Don't ask me how or where to mount them... You're the engineer, I am just an idea man...

Bracket is on!!

.. and it's nearly perfect. Can be used as is, but can also be made 100% perfect. I'll PM my findings to LeaN69.

Here it is (note that this is just a prototype, so it's not powder-coated)

Aligns perfectly (ignore my headlights.. troubleshooting an issue at the moment)

Overlay to show range of adjustability (closer or farther from the bar)

Thanks dude, pics looks great!

It looks like I might have to mod my fairing to make this work

 

[LeaN69]

Looks good Erci! The first issue you addressed IS intentional forming such a small bend is a bit of a PItA, it could be done however if desired. Other tweaks are a piece of cake!

Now before I move on with this can we get an interest thead going to figure out who would want one that way I can get an accurate quote per quatity that will be made.

I can powder coat it any color, but I'm guessing MOST member would preffer black?


I guess its best if I post interest thread in "Street Fighter" section of this Forum since I dont think all follow this thread.

Definitely have to have specific angle, but can't tell you what it should be till I get home to measure it. I was thinking that the part should have a little tab near the mounting point to prevent it from rotating.. just like the OEM plate that normally mounts to that point for cable routing.

Proper angle and alignment would be critical for a clean look for anyone going to dual headlight setup: (see what I mean?)

Did a good job here Mate! Sweet ride...

I'll take it out for a ride and see how much the speedo moves over bumps without using top mount bolt. If it's not noticeable, I say it's fine to leave it as is.

Yes, I think "Speedometer bracket - Group buy" would be a good thread to start in streetfighter forum and maybe in link it to a thread in group buy forum as well: http://www.600riders.com/forum/vendor-specials-group-buys/

Maybe use the pictures above so people know what to expect. I can take additional pics too.

Oh and yeah.. I bet most will want it painted black.

Just got back from inaugural ride.. PERFECT! Speedo does not move/shake/vibrate one bit! I say leave the top mount as is. Speedo makes enough contact with it to prevent any movement even without securing the top with a screw.

You should also drop a line in the FZ6R site... I'm sure some guys might be interested in this set-up. The bike look sick naked with those dual lights! :rockon:

Hmm.. Do they use the same upper clamp? If they don't, bracket will have to be changed slightly.

Never seen FZ6R streetfighter before.. I like it!

 

[Marthy]

Not quite sure Mate. I haven't got into it to be honest with you. I know few guys when the naked route. The bike look great without all the plastic.
