Does anybody knows if the risers for the FZ6 will fit our FZ6R? and How far can I go without any modifications to the cables and wires?
And someone needs to be a guinea pig and try some clip ons to lower the bars (that's what clip ons do right) because I'm itching for a more aggressive riding position now!Its a new bike, someone needs to be a guinea pig lol try it out and see what happens
whats a clip on? just the term clip on alone doesnt sound safe if its used to lower the bike haha.And someone needs to be a guinea pig and try some clip ons to lower the bars (that's what clip ons do right) because I'm itching for a more aggressive riding position now!
A set of "Clip ons" are handlebars that mount to the fork tubes and not the risers on the top triple tree. They have clamps that go around the fork tubes and are safe. Look at a GP bike to see what they look like.whats a clip on? just the term clip on alone doesnt sound safe if its used to lower the bike haha.
:needpics:i bought a set of SW Motech risers from Twisted Throttle.
1" up and 1" back.
I cut the zip ties restraining the lines to the fork/triple T, but didnt do anything else to get the bars back on.
I seem to recall laying the bars on the tank, then installing the risers, the putting the bars back on the risers...... in order to have enough play in the cable.
I got an FZ6R because it is very easy to manage for a first time rider. However, the more I ride, the more I want to settle into a more aggressive riding position. I've seen a few people buy standards, like a Speed Triple, and put clip ons on it. Just a matter of preference.Um, if you wanted clip ons, why did you buy an FZ6R?
I like the adjustability of those, but still too low for me.only clip ons that I think may work is: Apex Store

Two main reasons that I traded "down" to the FZR from my 2008 CBR1000RR were due to the riding position being very uncomfortable after less than an hour (Back, neck, and palms of the hands from the pressure of so much weight being pushed forward), and the bad vibration in the "clip-on" bars at anything above 45MPH. The FZR has a little bit of "buzz" in the handle bars, but the CBR would make my hands numb. Keep in mind that I am 6'2" - someone 6 or 8 inches shorter might not find clip-ons quite as bad.I like the adjustability of those, but still too low for me.
