Okay I'm actually on real computer so I finally saw the poll.

I voted R6 forks, why? Because the stock ones are that bad. With the R6 fork, whether your a speedy dude, tourer, or a communter you get a much better ride, comfort and performance. Yes it takes a little time and some $$$, but they are well worth the effort.

The only problem with this mod is it will make the rear shock feel even worse....

In no particular order here's what I'd do, and did.

1) Good tires
2) R6 Fork
3) SS Brakelines
4) Ohlins or Penske Rear Shock
5) Re-flash the ECU with a flash from ECUnleashed (I've done this on my FZ1, very nice, fixes all of the issues with the performance of a custom tune)

What am i looking for as far as a front sprocket?

I have a JT sprocket. Stock sprocket is 16 tooth, so you want a 15 tooth. This is the one that I have: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/JT-Sprockets-Front-Sprocket-JTF580-15/dp/B001AVU2NI]Amazon.com: JT Sprockets Front Sprocket - 15T , Material: Steel JTF580.15: Automotive[/ame]

I would also get a speedohealer or speedodrd because it will be 11.1% off. I don't like to do math when I ride.
I have this: SpeedoDRD

You dont have to go quite that far, the FZ6 works work fine with an Ohlins rear shock, and a set of decent Ohlins springs matched to the riders weight, and set up to match up with rear shock...

You just gotta set it up right.

Performance increase for the price, the best mod is hands down an HID bi-xenon projector retrofit.

You can get the Morimoto mini projector kit for about $250, do the install yourself and have 3-4 times better lighting at night. There is nothing else on your bike you can improve by 300%+ for $250.

Just look at my signature. I've listed them in the order that they were done. In hindsight, I don't think I'd change that sequence much, if at all.

 

[SweaterDude]

Maybe its just me but i dont consider tires a mod but good ones are extremely important. but heres my list

- Yamaha Touring Screen
- SW Motech/Bags Connection "Blaze" Saddlebags (when they're of theres no racks or anything)
- But the Headlight mods are probably the most important because turning right at night is unnerving as all get out

 

[Kazza]

Agree! Tyres are NOT a mod

My mods are on my sig

I voted "aftermarket exhausts" some time ago.
But if I could redo it now, I'd choose "other", as I absolutely LOVE my Morimoto Mini projectors on my naked!! :cheer:

Grtz,

Inverted forks.My opinion,the best mod on this forum.

 

[hk_fz6_05]

+1 BD43 dual headlight mod

 

[mdfb42]

Gotta go with the frame sliders. They protect all of my other mods.

 

[FinalImpact]

R6 forks. . .

Once you've ridden them, you'll turn back for the right road 1000 times! :BLAA:

There are tons of mods out there, but which is the best?

I guess the purpose of this thread, would be to help people make the best decision as to where to start modding their bike. So I suppose please put an approximate price and necessary skill level to perform it yourself.

What are your thoughts?...I'm sure I'm missing some choices here as well so don't feel handcuffed to the list LOL

Personally, I think the best mod is the -1 sprocket...most bang for the buck.

Different foot rests, I got the LIB aluminum inserts and the difference they make to the handling of the bike particularly in the wet is brilliant.
On the stock rests my feet were constantly slipping off.

I can have dual side exhausts, like a ducati, on both sides and a quadruple underseat exhaust. And two pointing forward to warn vehicles ahead that I'm there!:BLAA:

I voted exhaust, but I wish I could have picked the FE and BD43 as well.

Edit: Holy smokes! The last post was in March!
