Thanks for posting. I have been meaning to do something like this for years. I tried the stock windshield, the tall yamaha windshield, and now I have a Puig. The buffeting has always been horrible. I'd like to keep the bike looking good and was going to try cutting a big NACA duct in the...

Cramped? I can't stand the appearance of that kawi (sorry dxh), no matter what the engine.... I am surprised about you feeling cramped on the FZ6, as that's not something that I can recall seeing. I'm 6'3" and can't say I've felt cramped before. Much better than the supersport bikes.

That looks like a nice kit. I think the seller's friend was posting to the other fz6 forum where some people bought them. Personally, if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't waste my time installing halos. They simply can't be seen when my HIDs are on, and it's been twenty years since I...

Small world. I just made an alternating flashing circuit last week too. I was too cheap to buy an electronic flasher, so I whipped up a good ole 555 timer circuit from parts in my basement. Actually, I am making two of these circuits. One to directly drive some big red LEDs for my son's...

Yeah, the R6 forks are quite the mod, aren't they? And for us 2004-2006 owners, the brake upgrade over our crappy stock brakes make it an even better deal! I went with a firmer fork oil when I did the swap, but have to fess us that I haven't changed the settings on the forks since I did...

Re: Penske has something Here's the link to the other thread that I started about the Penske shock. The links are in there. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/41488-penske-8975-rear-shock.html

Penske has something I recently contacted Penske and they offer something that works on our bike. I believe they have a newer model which is actually cheaper than the Ohlins. The info is on a thread that I created somewhere here, but drop them a line from their website and they'll give...

Agreed, great that you're healed up and back on the bike! I pushed my FZ6 out of the garage the other day to get some room to work in the garage, then pushed it back in....

Great job Degake Great job Degake! Awesome to see that you fit a bi-xenon projector in the naked headlight housing. Like the others have said, it's amazing how much brighter projector HIDs are as compared to the stock light. I get a big grin on my face at night when I flick that high...

Sweet bikes. I'd love to get an FZ1 someday. Was Ruby at the gun range in that first picture? (Just trying to figure out that structure there.)

I have normal CFL halos on my FZ6, with the bi-xenon projectors, but you can't see them at all with the headlights on, and I simply can't think of a reason that I'd sit there with my key on, engine not started yet, and the halos on. If I had the bi-xenon conversion to do again, I'd skip the...

You guys need to paint you newer style swingarm to match like I did on my 2004. :) It's an awesome mod in my opinion. I did it so long ago, I forgot about having to fool with the exhaust.

How is the EXO-1000 with regards to wind noise on the FZ6? (And what year FZ6 did you have?)

Could that be a blemish in the actual glass? It appears that you have some smaller voids in the glass like mine do, but I sure don't have a big opaque glob in the center. As to opening it back up, that one's up to you. If the light output isn't affect, that means that it's merely cosmetic...

I found the link to the original thread on my FZ6 webpage. The fork mod was originally detailed over on sportbikes dot by FAZR6, the first to do the swap. Heck, I don't even think that FZ6-Forum.com existed then.... R6 Fork Mod Instructions Revived - Sportbikes.net

Congrats, they are great bikes, and I've drooled over them myself. Our local CSBA leader has one and that thing handles and hauls. It looks so big compared to the FZ6, but I'm sure it would be fine. I suppose I just need to build my detached garage so I can get more than one motorcycle. :)

As a suggestion, you might want to pair up the swingarm with the rear axle and the associated adjusters. It's a popular swap for people like me who have the lame 2004-2006 style swingarm. (I already did it though....)

I have the Yamaha tail rack and a Givi E46. I too was concerned after installing the rack, as I don't have the Givi light kit. I bought a red LED strip and attached it to the luggage rack. It wraps around both sides of the rack about three inches, and also covers the center. I then wired...

I have one of the first FAZR6 FE kits on my 2004 FZ6, and if we're talking about the same plastic thing, I still haven't figured out what to do with it.... I had it wedged in there for a while, but it was rubbing and would un-wedge, rubbing the other way. I eventually zip tied it, but one of...

I've thought about taking the ARC, but never did yet. I've done probably 20+ track days, but never have taken on-street training. :)
