    taller bars

    Ive found the handlebars on my 09 fz6 are just too short, and when i got it, the right was bent. more than an hour of riding puts my right shoulder through hell. i will be commuting heavily soon, so i grabbed some bars off of my 1980 xj650 that has electrical problems. they are about 3 inches...

    Crash landing?? Strange place to die

    Well I didn't crash land but somehow this little dragonfly landed under my seat and never left! He seems completely intact. Perhaps a tad dehydrated? What a strange place to fly into and die under the FZ6 seat. I was pulling the rear wheel for install of a new Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ after...

    Upside down handle bars or sport bars FZ6

    Hey guys! I was wondering if there was a way to have a spotier riding position on the FZ6 faired. Some guy on youtube said it's possible to flip the stock handles upside down to give that R1 feel, but that the handlebars would touch the fairings. Is there a fix to that, or any other solution...

    Bike attempted to be stolen and now I have issues......

    So my bike was attempted to be stolen twice in 2 days...... which really sucks. On the first attempt the bent my handle bars making it unable to be ridden ( which I was mad about but handle bars are pretty cheapish and easily switched) then 2 days later they cut my ignition cord and tried to...

    Temp Increase after shutting off bike

    Just bought an 05 FZ6 yesterday. Today it was about 60 degrees and I was out riding on the highway maintaining about 85-95 mph for a little while. I then got off the hwy and had a relaxed ride back to my house thru the city (about 5-10 mins). When I got home, I shut the bike off (with the kill...

    Going Naked

    I've owned an FZ6 for a few years now (it might be 4 years?). I bought it from a friend of my son to help him out. I've done some mods to it such as RaceTech Emulators in the forks, a Two Bros exhaust and a gel seat. But of the four bikes I own, this bike gets ridden very little - maybe 200...

    Renthal Street fighter bars.

    Wondering if anyone has ran the street fighter bars or ultra lows from renthal? I've seen post about the medium bars but can't seem to find anyone for the other ones. Done a street fighter kit and wanting to change out my handle bars for something a little more sporty.

    Aluminum Bars, Vibrations, what to do

    Hi all. So over last couple of days I put some new bars on. Been wanting to do this forever. I like to shop local, and it just so happened local shop had these KTM bars. From what I can tell, same as the Renthals. Very little sweep, similar rise to stock. I had heard of aluminum bars being...

    Handlebar Upgrade Questions

    As I prepare for my upcoming upgrade spree I wanted to get some feedback on handlebars. I purchased the bike with 1" Pro Taper bar risers and aluminum handle bars, and I'm not a big fan. They may have fit the previous owner well but feel too wide for me. This problem may be compounded...

    FZ6 Clip ons - Track

    I picked up a 2006 FZ6 with no fairings earlier for a good price. I am looking to take it to the track this season and am interested in clip ons for it. Im not even sure if the bars on mine right now are stock, the bars are cut so bar ends wont go in and they look lower than normal. (Pic...

    FZ1 handlebar swap: Thoughts and a question

    So I finally got around to installing the FZ1 bar I've had sitting around for ages (thanks Raja) as well as some heated grips for the colder months. Holy crap I should have swapped the bars way before. It is so much more comfortable, and the steering feels much more direct. Less fatigue in my...

    Bikemaster Daytona Handlebars?

    Sorry for yet another handlebar thread, but I could only find a couple of really old posts that mentioned these particular bars. As mentioned many times on this forum, the sweep angle of the stock bars is really bad for long distance riding. I'm getting ready for a big trip in a couple of weeks...
