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.
pegs are home made
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

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!!

I will look at these seats in the future, but I did do a 550 mile Tuesday while on the stock seat. It held up surprisingly well though the next day of riding saw my endurance shortened :eek:
