Hi all,
I went to fit my FZ6 Chinese naked conversion tonight and ran into a problem. I've not really seen this mentioned but it's bugging me and I'm not sure that I can just let it be as it is. For a little background the headlight stay with the kit I ordered was absolute rubbish so I ordered the proper Yamaha one which fits great but its fixing it to the bike which is causing me hassle. Obviously the bottom part fixes to where the horn was no problem but on the upper triple clamp two holes seem to be missing? There is a bolt hole where the throttle cables are held in place but then in the other two locations there is just a circular bump indicating a hole should be there but it hasn't been drilled; the images below explain what I mean better than I can with words:
My worry is for the single hole as nothing will be holding it in place if I just use the one hole available to me. To anyone who has done this can you advise on what you did please? Did you just leave it?
This brings me to my second question, how easy is it to remove the upper triple without disturbing the fork setup? I've considered removing the top triple and drilling and tapping a hole myself for peace of mind. Any help would be appreciated and I plan to produce a step by step guide for this for anyone in he future but I just need to finish it first!
Thanks in advance.
