Getting naked.

[yamanube]

I am currently working on going the streetfighter route on my FZ6R, moving the headlight up against the forks, dirtbike bars and bar end mirrors are in the works.
Right now I just took of all the fairings and windscreen and I love it, the stock bodywork has a hokey, superbike wannabe look to it but when she is naked it looks sharp and mechanical (plus I love fighters). Wind really isn't much worse, I don't think the stock windscreen and fairings did all that much for wind protection, especially not with the tall bars and a 6'3" rider.
I also have an R6 header and a stock silencer off of an '06 R6 that I am hoping I will be able to fit under the bike.

Pics to come. Here is a crappy cell phone teaser shot.

It is a teaser... more pics! I like the idea, it make the bike look mean:banghead:

looking forward to seeing how it turns out... good luck
if i could have bought an xj6 i would've done that, i like the naked look and will eventually probably do the same as you...

suggestion- bar end mirrors...

Bar end mirrors are in the mail, probably going to do Renthal fatbars too.
I definitely would have purchased an XJ6 if it where available, it seems getting euro parts over here is tough.

Sorry guys, digital camera was dead so while that is charging I took another crappy cell phone teaser shot. Mods thus far are Renthal bars (didn't go the fatbar route due to not wanting to buy new clamps), R6 header and silencer, Targa FE, billet bar end mirrors. Still have a few things to clean up.

I WILL get better pics tomorrow.

Nice!!! I got a set of off-road handlebar too but all black. Way better riding position isn't it?

OMG man that looks sexy as hell!! Any chance of a front and side shot? And yes if I had the chance I would hve purchased a XJ6 (Yellow) also. Laurie

Quick front shot before rotating my headlight down...

Damn, that looks great.

I've been secretly hoping that I lowside my bike so that my fairings are ruined and I have to streetfighter my bike. I guess I shouldn't hope too hard.

Yamanube,

How difficult would it be to put a round aftermarket headlight on the FZ6R? Would it look clean once it was done, do you think?

You know, all it took was for my friend to say "We'll be back when Chris crashes" and sure enough I crashed...

Naked FZ8

By now I'm sure everyone has seen the FZ8 photos, but in case you haven't here they are. A larger engine, naked looks, and an honest price. Maybe we are all looking at our next bike.

I WILL get better pics tomorrow.

Any chance you can post some more detailed pics? Especially of the profiles..?

 

[Detrich]

Was there anything special you needed to do to get the R6 exhaust and such up under there? Did the stock hangers fit the same spots? I ended up holing my exhaust to try and increase the noise, and it worked, but I want to do a full replace, but don't like the cost of a TBR.

Cheers.

 

[hellfiredge]

Hell yea!!

ok front turn signals... where did you mount them and with what? ( lol i have yet to introduce my self in the new comers fourms) your bike is looking outstanding so far, keep it up. i'll be right behind you with this as soon as i get mine.

There are a ton of threads on R6 exhaust swaps, do a quick search.

Front signals are some cheapo Micro LED blinkers from Cycle Gear (~$15) mounted on my headlight brackets.

Question about mods

Hey im a newbie to fz6rs and ive always loved the street fighter look. Your bike looks amazing and I would love to make my yellow fz6r a streetfighter too. just wondering what size and type of renthal bars did you buy and did you have to bend the R6 pipes to get them to fit?

 

[diegoq26]

suggestion- bar end mirrors...

I second that!

looking good so far, let us know how it ends up :thumbup:

Do a search, the Renthal bars have been done by many, me included, and I actually did a How to on them. The R6 header topic has been brought up many times. A simple search will get you the info that you need.
