Convertion to fz6n. Need kit.

[Chapin]

Doing a 2008 fz6s-fz6n conversion. Can anyone recommend where to get a good complete kit? Ideally would like to have fz1, fz8, fz9 headlights but I realize that would require some modification to fit it and it's being done by a dealership not me.
Is there still anywhere to get the vs1 kit? Or a fz6n kit?

"The kit is $275. The total shipped to anywhere in USA is $325 with shipping and PayPal charges."

Email him, he makes the conversion kits, everything you need, and they look amazing!

Thanks I just emailed him

Also look into universal stuff from companies like LSL or motodemic.

The eBay kit would have been your best bet at the cleanest and most OEM-like installation. For having had the VS kit, I can tell you it looks cheap and has the tendency to fit just a tiny bit lopsided.

Yup, I had the VS kit and the ebay kit. The ebay kit is much better than the cheap VS kit, but it still isn't the best fit. I much prefer the universal setup I have now compared to the OEM style Chinese replication.

How did you get your universal set up? I probably won't go for the vs2 as I don't like cheap.
Probably get the eBay kit unless someone knows where to get a good quality, good fit kit.

You just need a headlight that fits to some fork clamps and then something to mount your speedo.

Here's a couple photos of my fork mounted headlight setup.

Looks sick. Mt headlight?

Ordered the eBay kit.

Headlight SET Head Light Assembly FIT FOR Yamaha FZ6S FZ6N Fazer 2007 2009 2008 | eBay

For simplicity and quality sake

Yeah it's basically a MT-03 headlight.

I had the eBay one before it.

It really wasn't too bad, it just wasn't centered on the bike and I could never get it to center. That really bugged me, so I got rid of it.

I let the dealership know. Theyre pretty sure they be able to get it looking right.
Looks pretty spot on in your pic tho

That's because I didn't take a photo straight on.

When I would ride it it was super obvious that it was crooked. It wasn't where it would mount that made it crooked, it was that the headlight stay was welded together crooked and couldn't be adjusted.

The eBay kit will most likely be the easiest and cost efficient way to get something decent. Anything else requires multiple other parts and modding.

I have an eBay FZ1 headlight and the quality of the headlight itself is decent. Way better than the vs kit. However since it wasn't made for the Fz6, I had to order fork mounts and mode a speed bracket. All painful if you don't have the right tools to build your own stuff.

At the end of the day, it's all about the look that you want and how much effort you are willing to put into it.

Whichever option you pick, I would advise you pull in the main cable harness inside the tank. Otherwise it will get real cramped behind the headlight and may interfere with the throttle and clutch cables. You will need to remove the battery and it's housing to pull and place the cable properly.

Good luck. It's well worth going naked.

Here's hoping the one I get is welded better and yours was just a faulty one. Do you think all the ebay kits are like that? Tempted to cancel my order. Because if its not centred it will drive me insane. *crosses fingers*
Already have to wait a month for it to get here.

Thanks for everyone's help. Going back to fairing for now tho. From what I'm finding, these eBay kits don't fit quite centre due to a manufacturer defect. To much risk ordering from China and then having it probably a little off centred once installed. I'd spend the next 3 weeks biting my nails 24/7 waiting for it to arrive and then freaked if I was stuck with it if I didn't like it. I'm too OCD for that! Maybe go naked next year if anyone sells one of their nice (perfectly fitted) kits off of here
At least I'm going to have a brand new fairing and windshield! Also good because I like long distance riding

 

[thisisbenji]

Probably a good choice if you want it to be perfect.

You really can't get a super clean naked look without spending a good chunk of change.

You ever want to get rid of your set up let me know!

That's interesting and quite dissapointing about the ebay option. I had that in my sights for a winter project. I too though would go insane if that thing is off center. I am looking too for a kit that has everything that I need to bolt it right up and not have to screw around trying to make stuff fit. I'll have to rethink that one.

Also, the original poster mentioned that he/she likes to ride long distances so maybe it's best to stay with the fairing. Is the N conversion not good for long distances? I kind of wondered about that myself.
