So, you all have seen my conversion thread http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-streetfighter/28876-here-we-go.html. I'm still tweaking things here and there, but the one thing that's been bugging me is the back of the speedometer. I know, I know, it's covered by the Buell windscreen, but the way the wires just hang out got me to thinking.
For one thing, it's not waterproof. I never ride in the rain (unless I get caught in it), but there's also the issue of dust. Speedometers aren't cheap and I don't want anything getting into the back of mine that could cause harm.
So, what did I do? I started looking around for some place that might be able to get ahold of the back cover that comes standard on the FZ6N overseas. It's just a little piece of plastic, but it looks like it might go a long way to not only cleaning up the back of the speedo, but also protecting it from dust and rain.
I haven't ordered one yet, as I'm going to email them and see if they'll ship across the pond and how much that would cost. But I figured I'd post this link up for anyone that might be interested. I'll update with any info I get from them.
OEM Motorparts - Yamaha - FZ6-N 600 - 2006 - METER
It's 20.77 euros, which my handy-dandy currency converter on my iPhone tells me is $27.75 US. Not bad for a piece that some of us have been looking for.
