Cool album, lots of good stuff in there. Where you at in Illinois?
I noticed one of the photos had the headers (exhaust manifold?) that looked new. Did you get those re-worked/finished?

Gauge mounting bracket cut out, clamps should hopefully be in tomorrow. I will test fit before sending to get powder coated.

Bracket mounted to gauge - now waiting for the clamps to come in
Also - headlight, housing and brackets came in today. Should have the conversion mostly done this weekend. Then I will just have to hide some of the wiring, the horn, and the turn signal relay. Any advice?

You can also mount the mirrors like this, just need some longer bolts.
How did you post such a big image?

Very nice! Never see those in white, love it. Thanks for the kind words!
Northern suburbs along the lake. No, those were my original headers that I cleaned using toilet bowl cleaner (acid) and some scuff pads. Ended up painting them black the next year haha but definitely was nice.
Yep, host the image somewhere like imgur.com, then insert the image url like this:

I'm a moderator on a SAAB forum so plenty of image posting done there haha

OP, looks fantastic. Sorry to hijack your thread.
Advice for hiding the massive wiring harness. It can be tucked as is, but it's pretty darn tight. You'll want to verify you can turn the bars lock to lock without interference. I ended up cutting a bunch of wire out and resoldering/heat shrinking the harness as a much shorter harness. That's what I would recommend.

I did the wire tuck. It required that I remove the battery box and some clever folding of the harness.

Mirrors worked perfect with the bar ends. I bought these spacers from Lowes which fit perfectly, just needed to be cut to length.
When you cut them, make sure you make the throttle side a bit longer so that the mirrors don't catch the throttle. I will give you exact lengths if you end up buying the same mirrors I am using. These mirrors are great by the way, surprisingly you can see way more than you could with the stock mirrors. Some people complained that the screws backed out and the mirrors got loose, I dabbed a bit of locktite on the screws, it wont be a problem.

Hi all! hoping someone here will be able to help. So I converted my FZ6 to and FZ6N last year and I never plugged in the small light bulb that came with it (Vishnu Sharman [email protected] VS01 Headlight Kit. As a result (I think) my rear tail light was on full time and kept burning out. I think this is because not plugging in the small bulb lead to a incomplete circuit and the extra power had to go somewhere. Am I correct?
Anyway I just need to fix this so I can ride. Please help. Attached are some pics of the headlight and the wire loom that I coiled up nicely under the speedometer and that I am currently using to plug in the headlight. My question is which wires do I connect to the secondary small headlight bulb so that I can complete the circuit and my rear tail light can actually work as it is intended to and not be on full time.
Thank you.

:welcome: to our great forum!
Your rear tail light is intended to be on at all times when the key is turned to the on position. This is a running light. The rear tail light consists of a bulb that has two filaments. One filament is for the brake light and one filament is for the running light.
I hope this helps.
The tail lamp bulb should be replaced with the OEM bulb because it is different from a generic automotive 1157 type bulb.

Great, i will remember that! Actually it's a question of funds atm plus i'm riding at least 500km per week while summer break. Studying has it's advantages and drawbacks, but glad to have a scholarship.
At the moment my regular ride is well above 1500 meters in altitude (app. 5k ft) because of the heat.
So in winter i will have some question die sure, especially concerning cables and stuff So thanks in advance!
