I have a blue 2007 fairing I could sell (and, I'm looking for a red one, if anyone has).

Sorry that happened! I crashed mine into a mountain a month ago, and need all the front cosmetic/safety parts for a red 2007 FZ6, in case you got any private replies (or someone cares to answer again here)... Good luck getting back on the road! Kevin

Hi all: Anyone done a naked conversion and have a red, 2007 FZ6 front end to sell? I crashed straight into a small mountain, and damaged everything up front except the headlights. I need the fairing, fairing mounts, windscreen, mirrors, etc. Thanks! Kevin

OK, I'll wait for some wind and do that when it will dissipate away from my neighbors' houses. I stopped tonight because it was like the old days of DDT fogging. Thank you so much for letting me know. In between your last message and now I was, ahem, surfing the web looking for information...

I went into the mountain side. I crashed (first time) on Monday, at the edge of Appalachia in Kentucky, USA. I got knocked out and can't remember what I did to cause the crash. I suspect I let out the clutch too quickly with engine speed not matched to my coasting, made the back tire slip...

OK, a year out, have you had any troubles with those saddlebag bars? I'm leary about your clamps and the consequences of failure of them. The former owner of a recumbent tricycle (non-motorized) I have had clamped accessories onto the trike with similar clamps, and I had some failtures where...

Nice mods! Are you worried about the side bags sagging into the wheel? If so... have you done anything to push them outward or hold them?
