Just gettin started... - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

I am new to the Yamaha family... was riding an SV 650 and wanted a Yamaha so I bought a 2006 FZ6. I have yet to install the handlebar risers, touring windscreen, and lower fairing I just ordered. We all know it's a great bike on its own, but there is so much I want to customize. I could easily keep spending $$ on mods for a while.

Welcome!
Question: Why the handlebar risers? and the Touring Screen?
Feel like taking her out sailing eh?

Welcome to the site! I also moved from an SV650S to the FZ6 (although I haven't had the heart to actually sell the SV yet - I'm looking for a good home for it...)

what made you change bikes? they both have their advantages (my wife has an SV, so i get to ride both (when she lets me))

Congrats on the FZ and keep us posted with the mods.
