I just got my bone stock 2005 FZ6 with Givi V46 top case, and I'm wondering what the most common recommended or popular modifications are.

I'm almost glad they don't offer the N version in America, otherwise I might have gotten one instead. I much prefer the Naked look but after riding a naked SECA II streetfighter on the highway once I decided I need partial fairings and a windscreen.

It's a personal preference. I road with a fairing/windscreen for about year and a half and decided to do the naked look this winter. Riding highway usually doesn't bother me.

There is an entire section of this forum dedicated to mods--dive in.

really depends on what you plan to do with your bike,
what mods are for you, regardless I'd put a set of frame sliders on it

Excellent suggestion for Mod #1. :thumbup:
For Mod #2, I'd recommend the cheapest mod you can make: Grip Puppies! These are dense foam tubes that slip over your current handgrips. There's a couple folks on this forum who haven't liked them, but if your hands are average or large-sized these things make the grips more comfortable to hold (your hand isn't so tightly wound); the vibration to your hands is lessened; and my favorite benefit: it's not as tiring to hold the throttle open on a long interstate ride, something I noticed on my monthly trips to Tooele (75 miles each way).
Have fun, and make sure to post pics of your mods as you make them!

Dual lowbeam headlight mod. costs nearly nothing. you can get a bracket from BD43 (I think) and find his detailed instructions if you search it. No more people telling you that your headlight is out and its a bit brighter.

What does your domain cost monthly? I'm thinking about creating a mod site. Any info would be great. Thanks
