Winter mods....

[Dutch]

Hi all :Flash:,

Inspired by the classic Yamaha-colors, I did some mods to my 2006 FZ6 last winter:

I ordered the hoses here:

It's a german site but they delivered it to my local dealer in the Netherlands.

Gorgeous work, Dutch! What do the (I assume) Japanese characters say?

Love those colors on the tank. Those coolant hoses are awesome! And that front fender is pretty cool too.:thumbup:

And is that a bagster seat?

 

[DefyInertia]

Well done :thumbup:

:thumbup: And is that a bagster seat?

Nope, the seat is from: http://www.topsaddlery.com/

What do the (I assume) Japanese characters say?

It's Japanese and it says: Yamaha.

Did you go for the Gel option? If so, - how is it?

Yes, I've got the seat with the gel-inlays. It's personalized on bodylength and -weight.
On longer trips it's great; I have the seat now for 20.000 kilometers and I'm very happy with it.

I just read that the gel is quite slow changing temperature, - meaning that it takes a while to heat up, - then it stays hot for long,- and same effect with the cold, - once it gets cold it will stay cold for a long time ....

Do you experience this?

Also,- do you remember your material choice?

Those colors really set the bike off, along with all the other goodies you put on there. Great job!

I only ride my bike above 15 degrees Celsius.... I don't really know what the gel does or doesn't do....it's more firm and yet more comfy (no more pain at my a** at long rides ).
