Anyone have an idea if this would work. To get a more aggressive feel in riding, just take the current handlebars and flip them over so your hands flip over?

the bar's are 7/8" or 22mm in diameter so you can find lot's of different bar's to get the feel you want for your bike.

because of our fairings it really limits what kind of bars we can use.. just something to think about, turn the wheel to full lock, and notice how little clearance there is.

You might have trouble with the bars hitting the tank that way. I don't know if there will be enough room, but you could always just try it and see. Mine seem pretty close in the stock upright position. I don't have my bike at work today or I would do it, but you might try to measure the drop in the bars (you'd be measuring the rise and reversing it) before you take the bars off, it might save you the trouble of taking them off just to put them back on.

After looking at my 6R I don't see how you'd have enough clearance for the switchgear not to hit the tank. It appears you'd lose quite a bit of lock and damage the tank and lose the fork lock capability. Drag bars might not even work with the farings we have.

If the FZ6 handle bars are compatible with the FZ6R, check out the link above. The handlebars are straightened out, so you would have to lean farther forward, giving a more aggressive riding position.

Im new to this site amd this is my first post ever haha. But fz6 handlebars are very uncomfortable on your back and wrists especially for long periods of time. Maybe try fz1 handlebars im sure there is a thread somewhere abouy that.

Everyone says "I turned my bars down and it was great!" When I got my bike, lock to lock, I couldn't squeeze a finger inbetween my grips and the gas tank... but if OP's aren't as low as mine, try that first for free!
