basically turned into a crusier...which i would have went with a V-Star or something thats built for comfort...but :thumbup:for making it your own
 
Very nice! The Russel seat looks like it is specific for the FZ6R, is it and how much did it run?
 
I love the peg idea, I've actually rested my legs on my frame sliders for a second or two to stretch them....

The windshield just doesn't look right, probably blocks everything in the Sun, but just doesn't look right.

Seat looks comfy.

Parts list on those pegs, or custom made? I could see those helping out a lot on long straight trips.
 
the seat was 395 . first ride out was 275 mi in a day , seat great , hip :(
i do have a gold wing 1800 . but this thing a blast for the local playing . i have a drz400 with 22 k on it , but 6r is way more fun :D

w/s funky, yup but the wind on me at 90 is no more than it is at 20 , i did my time of getting beat up in the wind . my first bike was a 1975 and it was new . i dont care what it looks like , it shur is sweet :eek:
as for the seat it is there day long version , the DO MAKE SPORT SEATS
 
Did you change the bars or risers?

The darn w/s doesn't look right, it might work right, but god damn that looks out of place. Wish I could afford that seat.... A+ for the home made pegs, that looks comfy... uhmmm..... I don't know about the fender extender... with a bit of luck I'll get a BMW F800 GS next year.

Bottom line is this, hope that I'll see you later this summer up in Washington Island. Thanks for posting those pics.
 
the bars are raised up and back . thats one item twisted throttle got right :o. the mud flap , i just ordered one for a older suzuki gs500 the glued it on . i was getting mud in the radiator , not ant more . i think it was about 17 bucks

Some other old fart mods I would highly consider is Slurpee Holder, 7-11 Hold dog cradle.......

Man I cant stop thinking about how good that seat has to feel!!

It really does not change the sound a bit? Youd think it would change it a little with more of a tube...but what do I Know!!
