Because the fz6 forks are not adjustable, it's only the rear shock that has adjustable pre-load.

Good for you. Take your money and put it in tangible assests to avoid the market crisis!! Can't wait to see the finished product... again.

WOW! Very cool Wolfman. In fact, just yesterday, I printed off the Vader Moto catalogue and was eyballing the various rearsets they make. I can hardly wait to hear what you think.

Of course, lots of photos!

Was originally going to get the type 1'S , but they are a little plain, and the heel plate in not included in the price, as the heel plate is with the type 2's.

Great quality kit though...they use em for the FZ6 cup, so at least you know they are up for it!

Am actually looking forward to the reasets, and Pazzo levers the most...am looking for more control, and better feedback all round.

But then i am also aching to know how much difference the 4 pot monoblock brake calipers are going to make as well.

Hey moneybags, looking good (again). You do a great job of making the rest of us jealous as hell you know

Look forward to seeing it again with all the "new" gear.

Lol! you crack me up stumbles...saw a polished frame today...raised my eyebrows a bit......Hmmmmm...

Bike has gone to the shop now, wheels coming off as we speak....

Wolfman, I believe you take the award for "The single-most Deflated Checkbook" after all this! WOW! This is likely the most modded bike in the forum! Can't wait to see the finished ride!

After reading all this, I think I'll shortcut on the next bike... Buy me an R6, make it naked and convert it to a standard with handlebars!

Congrats on making this ride "Your own!"

Thanks a bunch for the nice words.

You know i have spent a lot of money on this bike...a truck load, but i still have not spent as much as if i had bought a new R6, and put a set of pipes, etc on it.

The idea was to turn the bike into a full blown sports bike, with a real riding position for someone who is getting old, still wants to ride hard, and not get turned inside out, doing it.

I am so happy with the results so far...made a great choice getting an FZ6...that motor kicks butt, and the frame also must be mentioned, is a work of art!

Suspension mods have impressed most though...thing handles like it's on a rail now!

When i am finished i hope to have a bike like no other on the road...still think that to complete the project i really should go for Carbon Wheels...that would take it way over the top....

Wont be selling this bike for a long time...hope to be looking at it in 15 years, and saying to myself...gosh those Pazzo levers were all the rage back in the day....so were those rearsets...as inevetibly design moves forward, and what is hot today, will be quaint in years to come...that's sorta cool i reckon.

I think you've already achieved that!

I hope I didn't come across as a Dig on ya for the R6 comment because that wasn't intended. That was my way of simply calling myself LAZY!

I'll be keeping my FZ6 for a long time as well. But, I DO intend to add another ride to the stable at some point. I think I'd like a total touring bike but I'd also like a really hot cruiser like the Raider too!

No offence was taken....saw an R6 like that the other day...looked a bit strange, at least the FZ6 still looks like the bike i bought...well sort of anyway!

Have been thinking tourer too...love the Honda Blackbird, always have, not much for cruisers, except for one that handles....and i am sure they are out there????

Second hand Tourers are normally in good trim, as owners are generally older, and take good care of their bikes....bargains to be had.
