So, this was one of those things I had always planned to do when I got the 2008 FZ6. Sport tourer in the spring with fairing, streetfighter for canyon fun and city looks otherwise. Just did a 300 mile or so canyon excursion last weekend, and can say fricken AMAZING; rides like a totally new bike! On the fence about this?? 100% do it!!! Really dig the rawness of full body wind blast accelerating out of the twisties.
Cost Details (I round to whole $):
Headlamp assy - FZ1N Jap Model: eBay. $230 delivered.
Wireharness & lamp: Use the stock; plug in old bulb and attach primary plug to it. $0
Brackets - FZ1N: eBay $30 (make offer)
Tach cover local dealer buy, p/n 2d1-83559-00-00, $14
Levers: eBay $60 delivered. amazing set, very very nice copies. IMO hands down best $ ever spent on a bike upgrade.
Mirrors: eBay $50. Seen these, are very nice (just bought, will advise mounting etc soon)
Blinkers: eBay $40 (same goes here. I blacked out my stock ones with $13 'VHT nite shades' spray tint (see below), but hate it as finish is weird and the stockers are big and silly IMO anyway)
Hardware: Most all the needed items can be taken from the stock fairing. Exception I note below; they cost a couple dollars for generic SS button head allens for bracket mounting etc.
Paint and misc: 2 cans flat black AUTOMOTIVE in-a-can paint $6 ea. You need the ROUGH red scotchbrite pads to rough up surfaces for paint, $2 ea = $16 total. I had some masking for the lamp V mod kicking around (i hate plastic chrome).
Hanger Setup: McMastercarr #8863T75 stainless steel pipe hangers, and #8513K43 rubber to make rubber padding strips. $18 delivered
Other items: Here comes in the custom. I had stuff sitting around to make the dash panel. I fabbed some parts as detailed below. I have a template below for those who want to walk this route.
