Handlebar mod

[jgelack]

Other than lowering the bike and adding clip ons, is there another handlebar I can install on the bike to give it a more aggressive appearance and riding position?

If you're comfortable with a drill you can try rotating the bars. Loosen everything up, rotate to a different position then tighten everything back down. The drill is to make a new locating hole for the right hand switch/throttle assembly.

FZ1 bars are a popular mod

I did FZ1 bars and love them. You can't get lower, even with clip-ons, without cutting the plastics. You do have to monkey a bit with the angle of the bars and the levers to get them to a point where they don't hit either the tank or the fairing at full lock.

I gave my 2009 fz6r some clubman bars and CTR bar-end mirrors and am loving the feel of it. Clubman's are more aggressive, at least the ones I got, than clip-ons, so I didn't have to lower the front at all to achieve it. Handling feels better now too. Best part is the bars are only like $40 on Amazon.

Do not get the cheap bar-end mirrors you see with these bars though, they don't fold in so they add an extra 6 inches to your bikes width.

So those clubman bars fit on the fz6r without having to cut the fairings at all?

Actually I forgot to add that I'd removed my fairings. So no, they would not work with them on. I have seen some pics of someone who lowered their front end and added clip ons and it looked nice, here's the url:
