What Do You Think Of This Mod?
I decided to change the looks of my fz6 (even though I love the way it looks) So first off I dropped the front suspension about an inch which gave it a slightly more aggressive look but it wasn't exactly what I wanted. The next step I decided to take was lifting the rear end a bit and giving it an even more aggressive look. I can give more details if anybody is interested.
Also with this mod I was forced to replace my mid pipe. It took me about twelve hours to (1) go to the store and buy a pipe (2) bend it, cut it, bend it, weld it together (3) finally paint it black with BBQ spray paint and then fit everything back in to the bike. I'll post pics and if anybody has questions I'll answer them as they come. I'm interested in what other FZ6 owners think so post your opions whatever they may be.

Re: What Do You Think Of This Mod?
To be honest, I don't care for it, but hay, who am I.
You do know that the handling will be totally different, dropping the forks makes for tighter steering, not sure what raising the back end will do. Careful on the endoes.

Re: What Do You Think Of This Mod?
Quite interesting! Good job actually trying things out!
I personally don`t like how it looks at all, but that`s just my tastes! If you like it, that`s what matter

Re: What Do You Think Of This Mod?
definintely a different look to it which is nice. however, i too would be worried about compromising the handling/control of the bike. but anyway, you have to be the one to feel for it and like it in order to appreciate any mod whatever it is really.

Re: What Do You Think Of This Mod?
As mentioned before, it's awesome to try new things but I would have to agree that is doesn't look right. The only way to really describe it is like seeing a big 4-wheel drive trucked slammed to about 3 inches off the ground.
Now, is that a shorter rear swing arm? It may be the pic but it looks short.... |

Re: What Do You Think Of This Mod?
Looks pretty wild...orange wheels looks pretty cool, but I dont care for the orange accents through the bike.
How does it handle? Care to give us any comparisons before and after? Also, I'd cut down the rear hugger a little bit to make it look sportier.

Re: What Do You Think Of This Mod?
Kinda looks like you ran head long into the back of a tractor/trailer IMO, love the fact that you are trying something new, definatley aggressive stance however maybe a little too aggressive IMO, must have taken some work to completethough?

How is it to ride? I would think it would smash your balls.
