  • The speedo bracket was heavily modified. First, I cut it off of the steel tubing assembly that held on the original fairing and headlights, thereby making it futile to sell that part -- you CAN make your own and that would allow you to sell it... I had already cut mine for another reason so mine was unsellable. I used a vice to bend my modified speedo bracket to the correct angle.
    Basically I did a lot of measuring and eyeballing to judge where the instruments should be. The one thing I am anxious to do is order that plastic backer that naked fz6's come with to give it a more finished look. Let me know if none of this makes any sense but I think you can get an idea from those two pics as to how to make it work.

    Click on the 2nd and 4th pictures to show them fullsize. The GSXR 1000 headlight that I used ('03-'04 I think) has two mounting posts that accept screws from the FZ6 fairing brackets that are left over from your fairing removal. I made a bracket out of aluminum (stock aluminum from Lowe's or some other hardware store... cut using a jigsaw and a belt sander for shaping) that spans between those two mounting points and over the bulb gasket thingy. This bracket can be seen in both the 2nd and 4th pics. Then I got two bolts that were about 1.5" long and used an aluminum sleeve spacer thing which can be seen in the 2nd pic and used it to attach our speedo mounting bracket to the bracket that attaches to the back of the headlight.
