I'm looking to buy buy 2 things for my 2006, I figured I'd ask before buying them online (even though this is still kind of buying them online )....
1st, I'm wanting to buy risers for the handlebars. I would like to be able to sit a little farther back and up when I get uncomfortable. I'm looking for the 1 in. up and 1 in. back, like these... TwistedThrottle.com : Handlebar riser barbacks & top clamps (BMW, Ducati, Gas-Gas, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM LC4, MZ, Suzuki, Triumph, Yamaha) - pair, 1" rise & 1" pullback - LEH.00.039.152
2nd, I'm looking for a taller or different shaped windscreen than the stock one. When I'm sitting up the air pocket ends right at my neck and drives me crazy. The wind runs up my helmet (I bought the windjammer 2 and that doesn't help). When I don't wear earplugs the wind noise is SOOOOOO annoying and loud. If I lean forward just a little bit the wind is directed at my helmet causing wind buffeting and that's super loud and annoying too. The ride is actually much quieter on my other bike that has no faring or windscreen at all... (it's quieter but the wind pressure on my body and chest does get a little fatiguing on long rides). So I'm looking for a taller windscreen or something that will help this problem on my FZ6. I was considering a laminar lip as well but wanted to see what you guys might have available. The dealer told me to buy a double bubble but I read on these forums that it makes very little difference.
Anyway, thanks for your help! :thumbup:
