First off I did allot of research before I got my 2004 FZ6 last year and as my first bike I have been very impressed allot of fun. It does however need some mods.
I do a fair amount of long single day rides 6-13hrs and here are a few of my complaints and I am in need of opinions I did allot of searching on the site and came up with a list of products that I like. Any options and or pros and cons of products let me know all options welcome.
1. Windshield I am 6’ 2’’ so I get allot of wind buffering to my neck and helmet area so I am looking for a windshield that will not only look ok but also get the wind over my helmet and easy to install for the most part with no gain in wind noise if this is possible.
So should I go with the Puig touring windshield or a Cee Bailey’s windshield and go clear or a smoke color???
2. A few rides are long stretches of straight roads so what is the better brand for a throttle lock
Cramp Buster or Vista Cruise???
3. I want a soft bag system that I can use that is also easy to pull off for during the week when I do allot of in town and short trips is the Cortech Tri-Bag system a good choice or is there others I should take a look at??
4. Seat looking for a better seat is a Corbin or Top Sadderlery
5. Have searched allot and have not found allot of info I have very long legs and the pegs on this bike kill me so I do have sliders and these help as I am able to put my feet on them from time to time but is there a peg system that is easy to mount up that would allow me to stretch out for a short bit of time when needed?? I know the Fz6 was not made for this but anything would help me out allot.
6. Any grips that help with the vib?? Is a riser a must have??
