Tomorrow's Goals

[Geoff]

So Im getting up and firing up the propane heaters and running the furnace to work on the fz6. I have couple main goals tomorrow, change both my sprockets and chain (520 conversion), and replace stock bar with drag bar. After that I have the brackets Wavex linked for me for my speedo im going to mount on my drag bar. Then I got o place an order for a speedo healer, not really a big deal for me considering my bike has like 29,000k miles on it, I usually flow with cars anyway.

2 weeks from now my belly pan (yamaha's cowl) will be in, and probably 3-5 weeks k4,(I will need to paint it silver), will be in,

Thankfully I made a deal with a friend to help me wire my speedo and my new headlight. Thanks! You know who you are and I know your reading this!

Frame slider will also be in this week too.

Possibly thinking about getting a tank pad, any opinions?

Your bike already looks great.

Tank pad - good quality carbon fiber would look nice on your bike. Or a good quality clear one - that's what I have.

Good luck with your mods

+1 to clear pad... keep the clean look

You may also want to try -1 front sprocket only to start with... and see how it feels before throwing the +2 rear as well... imo, -1/+2 is a bit much for the FZ6 for street use (too buzzy @ freeway speeds).

All silver, with the kmp K4 will look SICK!!!!! I would do without the speedohealer AND spend that money on a KOSO speedo, tucked between the top triple and kmp fairing...

Either way I can't wait to see it. Good luck.

You gotta get rid of some of those Yamaha decals! :spank: Too much. They're not paying you to advertise you know! DEFINITELY at least one of the ones on the lower fairing!

Maybe mirror block-off plates to cover the mount points from where the stock mirrors were. Other than that, there's not much more you can do! Well done. :thumbup: Also, I'm totally jealous of your seat cowl, don't like mine any more.

Maybe some black/silver reflective rim stripes and getting rid of the side reflectors and the horrible orange sticker on the fork? Not really a proper mod, but it would clean up the look a bit!

You sold that whole lower fairings right? so no decals to worry about.

Hey, is that a double bubble screen? would it be better (less wind) than the racing screen (I have a Piug Racing screen)?

Propane heaters in a garage to work on the bike -- sounds nice.

I hope the mod'ing goes well.

Your "before" pic looks better than some "after" pics. That is one sharp looking bike.:thumbup:

How do you like the bar end mirrors?

The stock ones look kind of ugly but after so many bikes with only a single fuzzy image of the rear ( that constantly needed adjustment due to weak adjusters) I really have become attached to dual mirrors with crystal clear images.
