Need Help Recommendations for bike accessories and security, etc.

[Ocelot]

I'm a new rider with a 2012 FZ6R. Learning from zero on everything about owning a motorcycle. Looking to see already proven products for the type of bike from experienced riders. Please post your recommendation links for all the extra accessories that fit your well and work well. ie. locks, covers, phone holders, mirrors, pegs, bags, comfortable seats, windshields, bike protection, extras for the bike? Much appreciated!

All I can say is, search this forum thru and thru, lots of info from when the bike first came out in 2009, but not so much these days. Don't worry about the year when looking, the only change ever done was the rear grab bar, went from a one piece to a two piece, so anything that fits FZ6R will fit any year model.
Enjoy the ride man!

Congrats on the new ride!

Sorry, I don't have the time to look up all the links, but here are the mods I've done to my 2014 FZ6R:
Spiegler stainless steel brake lines (significantly improved braking response)
Yamaha OEM Center Stand (you have to buy the kit through a Canadian Yamaha dealer)
Traxxion Dynamics front fork rebuild
Penske rear shock
Leo Vince full exhaust system (underbody style like OEM)
DynoJet Power Commander V
HealTech gear indicator
Luimoto seat cover
Puig fender eliminator kit
Puig rear mudguard (it's like a tire hugger)
FZ6R logo tank pad

Feel free to let me know if you have questions.

Thanks Steelrider! that's an awesome list. I had no idea I could get a gear gauge! game changer.

Here are a couple pics. The front fork rebuild was new internals, so the forks look stock on the outside.

Here's a pic of the gear indicator so you can see where I installed it. It's not a very good pic because it's in 1st gear but the indicator looks like other numbers are showing up. It doesn't look that way in natural light. I will say that I love the gear indicator but not everyone likes the way it works. The problem some have with it is the gear number is only displayed when the clutch is engaged. In other words, if you pull the clutch lever in, the display just shows a horizontal line and not a number.

I have the same indicator on mine and it’s amazing, I love it. A very very good “mod”
