New here.. Mods? :) - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Hey guys! I'm new here so please bear with me! I stumbled across this forum today as I was randomly searching for mods for my bike. It's an 08 FZ6 S2 with the full fairing, wind protectors and the original low windscreen - which I think gives the bike a sporty and aggressive look. Now I really need your help deciding which mods to do! What I'm looking into:
-Pipes - Considering Two Bros carbon and Leo Vince carbon. Your opinion?
-Turn signals - Clear or smoked? Where can I get some nice ones?

-Windscreen - I like the look of the Puig dark smoked racing screen.. What do you guys think?
Fender elim. - Again Puig looks nice. Other types I should be considering?
-Frame sliders that won't require any cutting or drilling?

If you have suggestions for other mods please share! ^^

Thanks!
-Chris

Thanks! Think I'll be ordering a pair in a little while. Too bad cans are so expensive =/

Hey dude welcome, if you do a few search's you will come across every answer you ever wanted, and some you probably didnt want. Not only whwt mods but what brands were to buy, and pros and cons.

Check out the mod section and you'll find all you could possibly want to know!

I wonder why there aren't any site sponsors to promote factory and/or aftermarket items here.

I went with the Two Brothers carbon fiber on my bike and love the look and the sound it also came with the fender eliminator kit and new turn signals.

Welcome from all the way downunder...watch out you dont catch "Mod Fever"! as others have said, just check out the Mods section, it's like a veritable playground for those who like to "bling" & improve their bikes, with performance, safety, and aesthetic modifications.

Welcome!

A few thoughts. I have Leos but if I were to do it again I'd go for the 2bros or lasers. Similar sound, better looks... though the Leos are the least expensive of the group. My Leos stick out a bit. The nakedness of the bike means that no sliders require you to cut the fairing. Uncaged Sliders for me here. If you don't want to completely change your blinkers then Clear Alternatives makes some clear covers (amber bulbs) which are nice.

When you decide to REALLY make your bike naked then we'll talk some more.
