Hey fellow FZers.
First post here. I just bought a used 2007 Yamaha FZ6 coming from a CBR 600. I am enjoying the bike so far (except for the clunky transmission...holy!) and the reading/researching I am doing on this forum. I am probably not the first to say this but I appreciate the level of maturity, community and helpfulness this forum seems to have. Coming from the "sportbike" side of things it is a welcome change.
I am looking to add a top rack and case to the bike. I commute with the bike mainly and although my icon tank bag does the job, it is making a mess of the paint on the tank (especially since I take it on/off the bike many times a day). I think a more permanent solution like a top case would be better. Problem is, I don't have any money to blow on a full givi setup. I need inexpensive! I've been waiting for a used one to pop up here in Toronto but they don't come often and as a result, still pretty pricey.
Is there another model of top rack that is compatible with the FZ6 (e.g., FZ6R?) so it might broaden my search?
Is there a cheaper brand I am missing besides the usual Givi, Shad, SW Motech, etc?
Thanks in advance. :rockon:
