Ok just need to get this out,
last weekend I installed 2 mods, the fz1 handlebar and bd43's dual headlight mod.
fz1 handlebar, when you're tired and aren't paying attention, don't drill holes.
I ended up drilling a hole on the wrong side. Lucky for me the right side brake covers the hole.
WHen you're done drilling the hole, and you've assembled everything, you find out the piece of **** plastic on the plastic throttle housing thing is bigger than 5 mm, but only by less then half a mm, so it doesn't quite fit yet, now the housing thingy has a open bit of about a mm, so gonna have to disasemble the right bit again to cut a bit of the plastic pin so it'll fit.
Loving the handlebar, hating the installation.
Then the dual headlight mod. to connect 1 wire you have to remove the battery, airbox and disconnect wires and screws and whatnot...
props to bd43 for the cable though, looks better then the cabling yamaha did under the seat (they had a surplus of electrical tape I think).
and then you have to reattach the battery wires, negative side first, I have a garmin zumo 660 and battery charger hooked up on 1 of those round things, so the screw doesn't go as far down as it should, so the tiny bit with the thread where the screw attaches itself to the battery is hardly possible to reach. I had to push a bit of plastic wiring under it to lift it up a bit to be able to get it back together.. AHFDJFHSKDJFHKSDJFHSKJFSHKDJFLHSDFKHSDKFHSDLKFJHSLDKFHSDKFJH
Sorry, but I hate modding the frond end of the bike, especially the electical system. doing anything on the fz6 that requires removing the battery SUCKS MAJOR BALLS.
Oh, anyone know which glue I should use on the rubber grips??? (to glue em to the handlebar on the left, and the plastic throttle on the right)
