I guess I should show installation pictures, but I believe someone already has. Simple, Simple, simple.
1. Put your FZ6 up on its center stand.
2. Remove Saddle
3. Remove side panels that cover electrical.
4. Remove Rear Hugger
5. Remove Top bolt, when removing the bolt push down on rear of bike,
relieving pressure on bolt, when bolt is removed, release rear end and rear
rear tire will stay on ground.
6. Remove lower bolt holding the nut so it does not spin.
7. Cut the plastic underneath the left side of the top bolt next to the saddle
release lock, (I did not cut enough, should have cut right next to the lock.
8. Choose which side you would like your hydraulic adjuster on. (I went against the grain and put it on the right side). You can find many places to put it, some put it underneath the seat.
9. Attach the top bolt first, not tightening it all the way.
10. Attach the bottom bolt, using the new shorter spacer they supply. (you might want to adjust your ride height now (I raised mine 1/2 inch). When ready to put the bottom bolt in, again put some weight on the rear of the motorcycle, and ease the bolt in.
11. Now tighten both bolts to proper torque.
12. Attach your hydraulic adjuster where you want it.
13. Make sure the hose is somewhere it will not rub. I put some heat shield on the hose and Zip-tied it.
14. Put side panels back on.
15. Put saddle back on.
16. You are done.
The ride difference is incredible. The rear tire sticks better to the road. I put about 100 miles on it today, It felt like a completely different bike. Just smooth and responsive, the acceleration was better as well, less drop in the rear end due to the stock shocks lack of high speed and low speed damping adjustments. AMAZING!!!!!!!
