Anyone know anything about these mods?

[2000 Intruder]

So, my pre-owned 2007 FZ6 came with some existing mods: a set of frame sliders that I can't identify, and a Matris preload kit for the front forks.

Has anyone seen or used these sliders? Are they any good?

Same questions for the Matris stuff. Also, how should I go about adjusting them for my weight and riding style? I haven't found much info about them on the internet, but I'm still searching.

Thanks in advance. Pictures below.

The sliders are "Uncaged Cycle" sliders but I think they went under...

And... here's a link for the Matris preload adjusters: Matris Fork Cartridge Kit for Yamaha FZ6/Fazer

Expensive mod!!!

HOLY SH*T! Your bike came with Matris cartridges???? DAMN! That is one too cool mod.

As the saying goes, "It is better to be lucky than good."

Nice!

Thanks! I know the Matris mod is an improvement, but having previously ridden a cruiser I don't have a frame of reference for comparing the Matris setup with the stock shocks on the FZ. Given your reaction, I'll assume the improvement is substantial :thumbup:

Yep. The rear is still stock.
