My FZ6R current and future mods

[2013 Fz6r satin]

Nice write-up...thxs!!

I got my projector retrofit kit today. Hopefully it will be done by sunday.
I also put a topbox and hard cases a few weeks ago. With the hard cases, the license plate and signals were too hard to see from any angle except directly behind the bike. I will be putting the fender back on.

If someone here tested with ratio it's me! +1 on the front is the hot ticket! (17/46)

Available:

16/43 (Steel/Steel) Very similar to 17/46 within 1-2 MPG (lower RPM)
17/44 (Steel/Aluminum) Great too 1 gear over drive (16/46 6th = 17/44 5th)
17/43 I was ok but kill the acceleration way too much with no real gain in MPG
16/38 Just like you when I first got the bike (300 miles) I swap the rear sprocket
It was way too much.

Bottom line, don't care! LOL You will get use to it. Those bike are design to spin fast. Stick with 17/46 or 17/43 max. More than that it's hard on the clutch too... ya, I change mine because it start slipping a while ago.

17/46 is what I'm running with. I like that the Speedo is more accurate than with stock. I barely notice the acceleration difference, not saying its not there though.

Basic Retrofit. Thanks to Rabbitman109 for the kit.

Side and top cases

You can hardly see the license plate and turn signals, I will be putting on the rear fender this weekend.

I hope to redo the top case mount eventually.

Those Kriega bags look good.

I've been using a regular day backpack with a $10 small elastic cargo net.

I've always put the laptop on the back when I've riden with that, I'd be scared of too many shocks strapped to the seat.

You'll love the HID. Night and day difference no pun intended. Chad does great work. He did mine as well.

Scott, he actually did this himself....I just got the discounted kit to him. Looks great!!!

Looks like a European police bike.

Looks like a European police bike.

it kind actually looks like there is a passenger on there lol. I love bags, have them on my cruiser. But just cant do it on my sport bike.

Me either, but lots here do. I throw a backpack on for work. I may grab a small tail bag though.

My dad mentioned something about the bike looking like police bike.

I put the bags on so I could store my helmet and jacket somewhere. I don't have a place at work to put them.
