I originally had one of those ones before I changed to my current one since I wanted the plate tucked up a little higher. I used one of these to light my plate. I think I actually have that fender eliminator sitting in the garage somewhere. If someone wants it they can have it for the cost of...

I pulled my wiring through the frame and it was a tight fit. I pulled the airbox, battery, etc to get it all in there. As it is it would be tough to fit a ballast in there as well. Maybe I will try out one of the Pulse batteries. Will give more room under there in addition to losing 6...

I used one like this: 2007 Yamaha FZ 6 Black Fender Eliminator 07 - eBay (item 150558238777 end time Mar-05-11 13:00:20 PST) All in all it is pretty nice, I think someone did a writeup about it in the review section recently. I agree with them about the license plate light being flimsy. Mine...

I had a pilot power 2ct as my last tire. I enjoyed it, it eventually squared off in the middle thanks to all my commuting to school. Lasted a little over a year, ~10,000 miles. When it was getting low and square, I had a blowout on the highway (didn't wreck though), but it turned out to be...

Yep, this is what I have noticed as well. I work the night shift and have had no problems with light whatsoever. That being said, I do plan on HIDing it, just because I can.:D I plan on using the retrofit source for my setup.

A fender eliminator was the very first thing I did to the FZ (even before frame sliders:ban:). I have never had a problem with pillions or luggage getting wet due to it. If you also take off the hugger it might be a problem but with just the FE it should be fine. Now if you are going in...

It uses an H4 bulb just like our stock (left?) headlight. I used my original bulb, then when it eventually burned out I threw in the one Dev supplied.

That is where I got my carbon fiber fender from as well, I am very happy with it.

Sorry, my sarcasm didn't convey over the web very well. The bike is always sexy, but the long riding was no fun at all. I rode into a strong wind the whole way down which made it even worse. I think I gained a neck size during the trip.

I said yes, but being the only other bike I've ridden was the Honda Rebel 250 I learned to ride on, that isn't saying much. I would love to pick up a big bike (ZX14:D) for touring, I recently discovered how fun hours of highway can be on a naked bike, sexy though it may be.

There is not a conversion kit, but you can change them out. GSXRs and the like use clip-ons, not a bar. There is a thread going in the streetfighter section about them right now. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-streetfighter/35941-naked-w-clip-ons.html You can get 43mm clip-ons from any...

I'm not sure if the Australian FZ is different, but I just changed out my sprockets and chain last week and the drive sprocket was held on with a folding washer and nut, not a nylon locking nut. It still had the original chain and sprockets on, so I am assuming it was the OEM nut/washer, unless...

This was technically yesterday but I'll put it for today anyways. Did the ~460 mile return trip from Tucson back home to New Mexico (rode down there Saturday). Didn't time it quite right and was 15 minutes late for my shift which started at 4:( FZ did just fine like always, though I...

I also have Dev's kit and I don't recall putting washers in, I just messed with the spacing on the bolts on the bottom. The mirrors work fine, but I do plan on changing them out for some lower ones.

Looks good! I might have to try this, I recently took off my center stand (we have a motorcycle lift at work I can use) and love the extra free space it opened up.

After riding the almost 8 hours from north of Albuquerque to Tucson yesterday on the naked FZ6 I am changing my mind on my picks earlier. I still would love any of those 3, but there is something that would fit my like of touring along with my dislike of touring bikes, and that is the ZX14...

In the US our FZs don't have immobilizers so we don't have to worry about stuff like that...just make sure the insurance is good for when it gets stolen.:D

The regular Apex clip-ons are only 48mm or 50mm, but you can get the riser ones in 43mm, they just charge $30 extra for them. I tried the CBR clip-ons a long time ago, but they require mounting on top of the triple, and it only took one trip around the block to put the bar back on. It makes a...

Those are actually the same ones I am looking at getting. I'm pretty sure they will clear the tank if you put them on top of the triple like the CBR guys, but I am hoping they fit underneath it so we don't have to raise the forks.

I haven't heard of the SX, it looks like the Ninja 1000. My list of bikes I would love are the new Z1000 for the affordable pick, or the two bikes I would love were cost no object, the Ducati 848 Evo in flat black, or an Aprilia RSV4 in white. :drool::drool::drool:
