Nobody ask you to pay for it. It would be nice if you popped for the shipping though. So, do you want one? I have the original 2004 screen up in the loft taking up space.

Regarding the trim.

You can get this at most motorcycle outlets. They may call it windscreen profile or some other fancy name. A lot of bikes have the plastic trim around the screen. You can get it in clear, chrome or smoke. Other bikes like the FZ6 have a moulded trim.

Tell your local bike shop what you are after and they will know.

I am in 2 minds about the mirrors, but I do see what you mean because I noticed it myself.

If they were changed for R1 or R6 mirrors it would look good and certainly more sporty than the FZ6 does now.

On the other hand I also like the unusual look it has as it is.

I am going to start another thread about who has changed mirrors on the FZ6 and see what that brings up because the mounts are a bit special.

I am a touring biker and only did this out of interest. I will probably revert back to my DB very soon and I would only put mirrors on that I could see out of. If they don`t work, they don`t get on this bike.

Awesome Job!..It looks fantastic.

I am surprised that the ride was smoother for you though...not that I am any expert on aerodynamics! I am considering a taller windshield for my 07 FZ and now wonder if I would be making the right choice? or should I stick with stock windshield height or maybe even shorter?

Nice work!.....but I'm confused.

Wow, that made the bike look so much better! I just might have to try this. (except with more air tools

)

Oh I agree with you there. It was not difficult with the hacksaw but it would even be easier with a dremmell.
