Sooo sorry for being away on this...crazy busy schedule lately and I truely apologize. So here is where I am at. I finished tweaking the outside shell awhile ago and it looks killer! I gave it a few more "lines" to give the tail a cool look from any viewing angle. I had been negotiating on...

Yes this will definitely be my next major mod!:thumbup:

I just looked up and viewed the V35's side bag mounting setup and it looks like it will be compatible. This is without the topcase mount. The saddle bag mounts don't appear to interfere at all. Thanks!

Krid80 is right on this one. This WILL work with Yamaha OEM seat boards. The setup is very simple and I am sure it could be used with other seats, although I haven't tested their board structures. I own a Corbin Gunfighter and the seat board is actually a molded fiberglass. It is much...

When I started this project I quickly realized that without removing the seat foam there would only be about 1.5 inches of storage space in the cowl. This was at the external dimensions it is now. I thought of enlarging it to leave the seat intact, but then it lost it's aesthetic appeal...

As for right now it is unique to the FZ6, I will expand them to match other bikes if these go well enough. It is my intention and I have patented them for this purpose. I started with the FZ6 because I chose it over my other options and found that this type of item is really lacking out there...

You guys crack me up! :D The pics are just of the original fitting prototype. I was just showing some different points of reference because several individuals asked to see that. The fitting prototype was used as a reference when designing the actual tail cowl in a CAD program. The door was...

Ok so here you go... again these pics are of the hand modeled prototype, NOT THE FINISHED VERSION. The pictures will give a good idea of the tail cowl on the bike.. the seat vinyl is pulled back and the seat form is showing. The prototype is a bit more "edgy". We improved the smoothness and...

For all interested parties, I will try to have some different angles of the prototype posted by the end of the weekend. The prototype is not near the quality of the actual units, because the prototype was 'trued-up' with software to produce the tooling to make them, but it will give a great...

Hey Wolfman, Cafe was my choice as well... I have most all the same mods you are looking for... here are some pics and a listing of mods so far.. I have ordered the Ottimotto rearsets which I will alter slightly and match the passenger pegs to. The storage tail cowl really finishes the...

Thanks SANGER_A2.. The vid idea is excellent! Will do!!

Krid80, I have a black set of these clubman's on my FZ6 with Rizoma handle grips, bar ends, and the reverse retro mirrors. I love them!!!

Thanks Krid80, I am in Southern Illinois around the Carbondale area currently. I am about to make the leap to LA this summer. As far as the price, I feel that it is extremely competitive for what you get. People are paying far more for far less when it comes to it's category. I...

Ok, so after the end of last week and the weekend of running numbers and figuring here is where I stand on possible pricing. This is as low as I can see these going without sacrificing their quality, which I will not do. For the complete packaged tail cowl we are looking at around $485 USD...

Again, I really appreciate everyone's comments and I definitely understand the money issue. I am in this to make a quality and reasonably affordable FZ6 specific tail that will make it stand out in a crowd of bikes while filling the gap between the smaller cargo bags or 'pods' and the larger...
