Does anyone have any pics comparing the FZ6r bars to the normal fz6 ones , did a quick search and could not find anything.

Are you sure the FZ6R and FZ8 bars are identical? Looking at my local dealer's parts catalog they are different. The FZ8 bar looks like it has a bolted bar end. Whereas the FZ6R bar has the normal screw-in bar ends.

jspansel, could you take a few pictures of how the bar ends are mounted? Preferably with a bar end out, but no biggy if you don't want to take it out.
Yes, the FZ8 bar end itself does not thread into the bar. The bar end is held on with the bolt as shown in your diagram. I can also confirm since I also owned a FZ6R that the bar end itself threads into the bar with no needed bolt. The bar end itself had the hex recess for a hex wrench..
I have FZ-1 handlebars, I don't think I'm properly explaining my point though.
What I'm saying is that FZ-1 bars "with risers" are just FZ-6 handlebars. So instead of using FZ-1 bars and a riser set up, you could just forgoe that and go with FZ-6 or FZ8 handelbars. Point is FZ8 handlebars don't net you anything. FZ1 are lower.
