I know what he means when he says "commands respect" as I've seen the same response with my Harley. Especially from Law Enforcement and Firemen. There's a comradery amongst riders in general but I've experienced a HUGE improvement in that area since I've been on the Nightster, and maybe because...

I've sat on that bike, and it is very cool. I traded my FZ6R last September for a Harley Nightster. My story was similar except I was going for a GSXR 750 or 1000. After hitting every dealership in the Baton Rouge area I hit the Harley shop last. Man they were on their A game. The cutomer...

I didn't have to drill any holes at all. I just dropped the front (raised the fork tubes up), measured for fit, and slid the clamps on, adjusted and tightened.

I say go for it too. I traded my FZR for a Harley. I always wanted one since I was a kid and it's been awesome, however lately I've been missing the nimbleness and agility of the FZ6R. I was looking at the Gixxers before opting for the Harley and sometimes wish I would've gone with the GSXR...

Man your bike looks awesome. Your headlight and that screen really set it off. I sold my FZR last September and perusing this site lately REALLY makes me miss it. Great job on the mods guys.

I lowered my front around 1.5 - 2 inches when I did this and loved the result. I didn't do 100+ mph so I never noticed any straight away issues. I sold the bike last September and am on a Harley Nightster now and am loving it...however I do miss the FZR sometimes. It was such a fun bike with an...

Thanks for the info. I took a long ride yesterday and really got an appreciation for our bike again. I've had a cruiser, Ninja 6R, and a Supermoto, and this FZ6R has all of what I wanted from those bikes nestled in a great package. She's a keeper. With these mods discussed here I believe the...

I spoke with my friend at my Yamaha dealership and asked him if he thought this mod would help significantly and would it void my warranty if I performed it myself. He said yes, it would definitely help give some extra ponies and yes and no concerning the warranty. He said if I burned up my...

Thanks for pioneering new territory on our bike. Anxious to see the results!

Thanks for pioneering so much territory on our bike. Hope your numbers come back fruitful. Awesome work!

Amen to that

Thanks. The Amite river was supposed to crest this evening. I'm not sure where it is now...I suppose I'll find out soon as I'm about to leave work. Hope I can make it home. You guys have a great evening.

Glad to hear you and yours are fine. I'm between Hammond and Baton Rouge and we just got power back last night. We weren't hit quite as hard as you guys, but the roads are flooded and trees are down. When you go without power for four days it really lets you know you love the 21st century. I...

Great ideas. I'd definitely support something of the sort myself.

In the back of some mags they have a "reader's rides" section. Usually there is some sort of prize if your bike gets selected for the mag. They usually give a website to send your pictures to. I know Super Street Bikes has such a section. They even gave tips on how to take great pics. Example...

If the press got a hold on one of our cosmetic - performance enhanced bikes I believe the magazine circuit would publish more articles on our bike. I was stoked when I picked up Super Street Bike magazine this year and saw a whole spread on our bike. Perhaps we need to send pictures and stats to...

I'm eagerly awaiting info on the v-stack change in addition to the heat shield wrap. I plan to do a complete intake/exhaust upgrade later this year. Finding this thread has me stoked. Thanks again.

Please keep us posted on your progress. If the Australian stacks are as good as the stacks on the original group order then I'm all in. I plan on doing some modifications to my intake/exhaust this fall. I'd like to do a complete build = Open the intake, heat shield wrap the air box, PCV, and...

Agreed. I'm not looking for a land speed record breaker, but more throttle response when I'm evading the inconsiderate lane merger would be VERY nice.

Thank you for your VALUABLE contributions to this modification. I've been following the "making holes in the air box" thread for a while now. I fully intend to invest in a full exhaust system, PC, and open up the air box as well. Purchasing a full exhaust system is a good year away, do you...
