Found a really cool set of swingarm frame plugs from J-SPEED on EBAY. It's the first place I've seen that addresses both left and right side. They look really sharp too!

lol, i plan on just cutting out two circles out of steel, primer and painting them black, then using silicone to put them on. My $2 fix :thumbup:

I ordered a set of swingarm plugs from JSpeed a few days ago and just got them in yesterday. I was a bit skeptical at first like the rest of you, but these plugs are def worth the money.
Do the math; it costs like $45 for the Yamaha plug for the right side, then spend another $35 (?, can't remember) for the Daybreaker plug. Almost $90 later you have an FZ6 with mismatched swingarm plugs. Also, I didn't feel so good with using a plastic anchor to secure almost $90 worth of parts to my bike.
My FZ6 has a silver frame so the aluminum matches pretty well. Even without the color matching these plugs are a good deal and really are the only set of matched swingarm plugs I could find.
throwing starts have points dummy!! these will be flyin discs!! :thumbup:Haha, there's some Yankee engineuity! When they fall off it'll be like little throwing stars flying from your FZ! Wire it up to some pneumatics or something like that and make them fly on cue!

Yes they are pretty and I like the look, but do they have a function that I am missing? Is it a problem not having the plugs?

They have several functions:
1. By benefiting from the reduced air resistance the bike generates, you acceleration and top speed will better by 22 - 25%.
2. If they are not used, your swing arm will have to be replaced every 2 years, due to increased corrosion.
3. Due to the improved airflow around the bike, your mileage pr. gallon win better by 110 - 150%.
4. Studies show, that FZ riders, that have these mounted, have a 50% less chance of being hit over the neck with a frozen chicken, while driving.
There you go, - that's how they work!
