Ah Yes, the Airbox Mod :shakehead: I lived with this mod for about 2 weeks, and to be honest, as soon as I got a few spare moments I ordered a new Airbox Cover and took it back to OEM. I jumped in a bit to enthusiastically with this mod as I had only had my bike for 3 years with no mods at...

I would agree, 2007. :welcome: to the forum.

Good suggestion, at present I was setting the seat up exactly as it was, but dropping the back a bit might just do the job. Thank you :thumbup:

Look forward to it, we'll come up with something. Love that video :rof:

**UPDATE** Dry fitting the chopped seat and fabricating a subframe out of wood to use as a pattern for the aluminum version:

I know what you mean about the jewels, mine tend to fall asleep from time to time, I was actually thinking about scooping out a hollow in the seat where they rest. Here is where the seat is at present:

Sorry to hear about the rough times, had some similar ones myself, glad to hear you are coming through them and getting closer to God. When you are in California, my door is always open :thumbup:

Love it, how did you staple it back on? I am doing mine right now and am having a tough time with the staples.

Yes the bar clears the tank. I fabricated my own yoke and riser. The write up on making the slab yokes is here, but for some reason the pictures aren't on it anymore: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/39793-new-project-slab-yokes.html. You can see the pictures in my Photo Album: Yamaha FZ6...

Finesse :D No seriously. The bolt pattern is about a 1/4" to wide, so I had to squeeze it in the vise to align it, the brake piston cylinder is in the wrong place so I had to cut the mount off, fabricate a bracket and mount it about a 1/2" back from it's original position. On the shift side I...

Here is a thread with some links that might be of use: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-technical/30945-1987-1999-fazer-600-owners-help.html

Greatest challenge...well the individual fabrication of the sub-frame and the dogbone mount will be fairly straight forward, I think the real challenge will be in making sure the two work together and provide the correct alignment for the shock. As far as the swingarm goes, it is about 1"...

:rolleyes: After several years as a daily commuter and weekend wild rider, I stripped it all down to clean it (http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-streetfighter/18025-i-saw-her-naked.html). I liked the look of it without the fairing and given what I had seen wolfman, wavex and many other...

Thank's for the compliment, but, let's see if it's rideable when I'm done :D

Well, I had no interested parties for my bike, so I have decided to continue with the original project. The front end is completed with the R1 Forks, custom slab yokes, drag barzs, rizoma grips and levers. The mid section is done with the R6 rear sets. All that is left is the R6 swing arm...

Happy Birthday! Hope it's a good one :)

Found it :) http://ecunleashed.com/products/ecu-tune-files/motorcycles/yamaha/ and this as well Yamaha | ECU Reflashing For Motorcycles

Interesting. Is there an ECU Flash for the FZ6?

I may still have mine, let me check when I get home. If I do it is yours for the cost of shipping.

I have been neglecting it, I rode it nearly everyday for six years, back and forth to work and on weekend jaunts but I haven't even had the urge since getting my little 2002 Audi TT. I just hate to see it sit and thought it should go to someone that could get as much joy in the future as I have...
