It bought the touring windscreen "T",and it really looks pretty much as the spoiler edition,and also has the rubber on top.

This is my windshield,I checked the product code.

Well, after reading this thread I have today ordered a new FZ1 handlebar. It will arrive next week :thumbup:
I will take some pictures under the install and post them here. I want a more straight and sport style when I am driving so I hope this mod will satisfied me :Flash:

Today I received my FZ1 handlebar all across the ocean

Part number: 2D1-26111-01, hope its the right one

got it from Boats.net - New and Used Boats for Sale, Outboard Boat Motors, and Discount Outboard Boat Parts

I ordered it from the States,because european model 07-09 bars do not have the threaded inserts for bar ends/weights.

I'll do installation tomorrow morning,will let you know how it went tomorrow afternon when you americans wake up at about 5pm central european

Here's a pic:

Did you order them in black? I dont see that option at that sight.

Ignore this just lookes at your install pic again:tard:

Installed my fz1 bar this past weekend. I love it !!! It makes a HUGE difference.

I just got around to installing my FZ1 bars right now. I thought some people have said it is not necessary to drill an extra hole, but my throttle assembly moves all over the place. Tomorrow I gotta take it back off to drill the hole.

It's worth it to just drill the hole. No you don't have to but makes it easier, not only for slippage but if you want to remove to lube cables, makes it easier to get it back where you want it

FWIW I painted mine black before the install to match the Raven colors. . .

It's metallic black with 3 coats of clear coat.

Looks great!! I thought about doing that, but it would require too much time and work. I'm lazy. LOL :BLAA:

I did not drill a hole on mine, just simply cut off the nub on the inside of the throttle assembly and then tightened it down when I had it where I wanted. Never once moved, and even when I try to slide it around it doenst budge.

Best part about not drilling a hole is that you can position the throttle assembly exactly where you want to avoid contact issues between it and the tank and still get full rotation of the bars. hard to figure out where exactly to drill a hole to achieve the same.

I understand now... and I feel f'n stupid and am upset with myself. I drilled a hole into the handlebars and in between repositioning everything and securing the throttle assembly, I managed to unintentionally scrape/cut off the nub inside. So now I have a hole with no nub, but at least it doesnt move. :shakehead: lol

BUT! What really makes me upset is that I SOMEHOW managed to break off my turn signal again. I'm not even going to mess with it right now, or ride the bike until I can figure out an alternative. Right now, the only easy, but costly, solution is to go naked... :don'tknow:

well, so much for one hour i am fairly mechanically inclined but have only have hand tools so i am kind of primitive, anyway my bar end got stuck on my clutch side and the Allen key stripped :banghead: . long story short i had to cut the bar >< to get the clutch off didn't want to take it apart further than removing the bolt for the clamp and sliding it off. Well fz1 bar is installed feels great but 1 hour turned into 4 really fast >< great mod just make sure your ready for problems any time you work or at least be a good problem solver


Edit -

How.about bar ends? Do they fit? I noticed that fz6 is with bolts and fz1 not

 

[kpolykarpou]

hi guys.

i found an fz1 handlebar , to do the mod, but i had another problem.
the fz6 bar ends are with bolts(screws) inside the handlebar.
the fz1 didn t have any place to fit the bar ends.
do i have to change the bar ends too?
thanks

[hattu345]

are bar ends necessary ?

 

[Gelvatron]

If you bought oem Yamaha fz1 bar yes put the ends in its not necessary but will reduce vibrations your choice

 

[kpolykarpou]

so... i have to change the bar ends , too? if i understood correct ?
i thought they were both with bolts
yes its the stock handlebar of fz1

 

[kpolykarpou]

Did I understand correct?

 

[Gelvatron]

Fz6 bar ends are the same as fz1 ones use Wd 40 to break up the threads mine freaking stripped

 

[kpolykarpou]

i thought they were the same too. but fz1 didnt have any place for bolts. do i have to remove mine ?
