MT-03 bars on FZ6N
Took an XT660X and an MT-03 out for a spin the other day. Liked the bars so much I bought some!
Took a bit of re-routing to get the cables and wiring to reach, plus I had to make up an arrangement with M8 allen bolts and washers to attach my DL650 handguards. Just fitted a -1 tooth front sprocket so a good time was had on the local back roads! Just gotta get myself an XT660X now...

Re: MT-03 bars on FZ6N
Nice work!
 How far forward did these put you as opposed to stock bars?

Re: MT-03 bars on FZ6N
Nice Mod! Just did something similar, and put FZ1 bars on my bike! The FZ6n bars are very conservatively postioned, and put very little of your weight over the front wheel, giving limited feedback. The FZ1 bars are a bit lower, so as such, more weight over front, more feedback through the Bars = better feel for how bike is handling...hope you get the same result from your Mod.

Re: MT-03 bars on FZ6N
Yup, couple of inches further forward, but the main benefit is all that extra leverage from the bars being a couple of inches wider. It makes the bike feel like a toy and much easier to throw around. Plus it's comfier!
