    Has anybody tried ivans dynamic tps mod.

    Just talked to Ivan....he is now in NY...he said you probably do not want to do that mod...FZ6 engine not as lean as the R1. He said you would probably see a slight improvment. I would call him before you go and do it. He also said that if there was anybody near him that didn't mind giving...

    Never have gotten a knee down on my FZ1...but I have never NEEDED to put a knee down or even scrape a peg feeler on the street....I think it is something that happens as you get to become a better rider and learn about body position, lines into corners, bike set up. etc...there are a lot of...

    Still can't decide what to do about bars.

    No problem....make sure tell them that Scotty J sent you. They are very helpful so ask them questions. Get the bars tapped as well...even if you decide to buy the Rizoma bar ends..the groves will help keep them on gives it something to grab on to.... Your welcome!! Scotty J.

    Still can't decide what to do about bars.

    You should not have to modify anything....I saw a picture of a guy who had RED Rizoma bars like mine on his FZ6 on the FZ6 forum over at sportbikes.net and he said no issues with hitting the fairing or anything....the rizomas will put you in a more aggressive riding position and if you wanted it...
