DuPont teflon chain saver works pretty good and doesnt sling off to bad.
I cut a small section off first and then used stock curve as a templet. I also saved the left over plastic to make a plug/plate to cover the spot where the fairing mount was bolted

That's a really good idea, I appreciate it!

Me and my 2007 tackling Deals Gap. I have since, switched to bar end mirrors, which I love. Take a look at the photo and then watch the video. Deals Gap is a must do if you haven't already.

Ok here are few shots of my 2005 FZ6N. I have had her for nearly a year now and have only really modded a few things. I replaced the stock indicator lenses to clear ones and removed the original bar ends and replaced them with some Rhino Moto ones. I've got bar end mirror mounted on to the Rhino Bar ends and have lowered the handle bars back for a more aggressive look. The Oggy Knobs where on it when i bought it.
Overall i love the bike but would love to replace that stock exhaust :D. Building a new house and having a baby just arrive seems to have put that on hold for the foreseeable future though!

Well, i posted a few pic's in the Aussie sub forum of how "Pinky" looks these days, but not everyone looks there, so i thought i should share a few pics with the rest of the World, before i go and sell the bike....Yes, for those of you that know of "Pinky", the bike is now back to full OEM road trim, and "on the market"...

I think the bike looks and runs brilliantly considering it's "busy" life! Is a testament to Yamaha engineering i say! :thumbup:

While i am in the picture posting mood, a few shots of my other FZ6, all detailed up to the hilt, ready to go back to the paint shop, to have a couple of tiny scuffs, scratches fixed up, and to have the front brake disc carriers painted to match the gold spots in the front brake calipers....bike came up like a million dollars after 4 full days of detailing and polishing! Yep! 4 days, and it wasnt just me....Mikey (Ozzieboy) was in the trenches with me, up to our elbows in polishing dust, driving the neighbours nuts by having the bench grinder and power drill running for extended periods of time, day & night!!! :eek:

But just about every nut on the bike has been removed and polished. The Wheels were taken out, brake discs removed, wheels re-polished, brake disc's cleaned and the disc carriers and discs egdes all polished. Both Fork tube caps were removed and polished. Handlebars removed and polished. Gear shift linkage...taken off and polished. Complete removal of the exhaust system, all polished.

We also took the seat off, and further cleaned up the wiring loom, that we had modified previously, when fitting the single seat unit....gave everything under the seat and tank a real good clean as well, dust gets in everywhere!

All the polishing was a big job, as everything was not just hand plished, but "re-cut" with either, and, or both the bench grinder, or power drill with polishing wheels attached, then everything was hand polished after....

We also cleaned the front of the motor, the chain, changed the rear sprocket from a red Vortex 46t, to a Gold GYTR 46T, just cause it looks better than the red sprocket on this bike!

Like i said at the start of the post, the bike is now ready for a trip to the paint shop to have the front disc carriers painted....and to fix any little scuffs etc, which may show up in an upcoming photo shoot featuring the bike....

Cheers Wolfman, I love the black and orange too.
By the way looking forward to the Rapid Bikes issue featuring that black beauty of yours. Should be a good read. Be sure to warn us when it's due out.

Bike looks fantastic (yes, I have a white 08 fZ6 as well :thumbup::D)

Hello Karen.I think your bike looks great.I love the rizoma bar ends and grips.I want to buy these for my bike, and also brake and clutch levers,but here in Bulgaria these things are very expensive and very difficult for us to buy them.I first start with the installation of xenon.
