Becoming naked

[JesseeS]

So I just got my 2008 on Wednesday and after some adjustments I love it. Although, something just wasn't right. I've always loved naked bikes, I even looked at the fz07 and fz09, but didn't have the cash. So, I decided I'd just make the 6 naked. I had to build my own mount for the speedo. It's not professional quality by any means, but it cost me $10 in parts and only could use and dremel and drill to make it. Here is a before picture and how she sits now. She is missing a headlight, that should be in by Wednesday. Once it's on I'll post up some more pics. Hope you like it.

It's a start...

So I'm on the custom fighters forum as well and picked up the headlight from a stock er6n. To be honest, the lines look perfect as if the headlight was designed for the fz6. There is a space up top where the stock Speedo went, but as soon as I find the back Speedo cover for the naked version of our bike it will be covered up. What do you think?

Finished product. Trimmed a stock fairing I got from a member here and filled the gap up top with it. There is some usable room behind it as well so I may mount a GPS there when I travel.

The cut down fairing piece cleaned it up nicely. I like it.

Hay was wondering where and how you attached the speedometer, changing headlight on my fz6 so would need a new location for speedo!

That's a very cool Speedo mount! I don't think I've ever seen one attached to the bars before!
