Actually member iSpoolin will do this for you if you send it to him. Of course that means you won't be able to ride for a while.So is anyone offering this service yet? I'm in AZ and haven't met any other fz6r riders out here...

I'd offer to do it but it would be the same situation if not more so. I've done a number of retros myself but I prefer to have a bike in front of me to be able to line things up properly with and get it adjusted as close to where it should be fore turning it over to the end user.Actually member iSpoolin will do this for you if you send it to him.

Hey ChewmieserPart #2:
So... I finally decided to fix a few things (forced fixed because I was an idiot and didn't tighten my ballast enough to the original position... It fell off when I parked it today :banghead. Reopened the housing, SILICONED the shroud (it won't stay on without it), snipped the alignment tabs and aligned by eye. Also changed the location of the ballast (either one works fine, I prefer my new location, but it's close-ish to the forks [but doesn't interfere with them]).
Hopefully this is the last time that I'll be working on this mod, but I'm incredibly pleased with the end-result now.
So, final list of "tips" to follow when working on the housing:
* Snip the alignment ring's tabs and align it by eye.
* Silicone the shroud!
* Silicone the housing, WELL. The first time I ended up with fog. This time it should be alright, but we'll see.
* The unit (projector, light, etc) holds up in the oven no problem! I've heated to open and close it twice now without an issue.
Thanks again cavcuz05! I couldn't have done this without you, and now it all feels like second-nature.
Yes, it is a highly functional & aesthetic mod.I love the way the HID looks and the improvement in visability is awsome.... dam i still have a long mod list
No, they don't mess around. You'll have it Saturday. Are you planning on riding between now and then?Dang... Already got my tracking # also for Priority mail! NICE
Yeah. Rode the bike today to work for the first time since injured my wrist.. Just took the brace off on the way and then put it back on at work. Felt fine. Able to control clutch ok again so I will just ice and rebrace it when get home. Then probably same thing tomorrow.No, they don't mess around. You'll have it Saturday.

Okay, just wondering. You would be able to get a head start if you didn't plan on riding. Taking your time to make sure that you don't make any mistakes. Looking forward to how it looks.Then probably same thing tomorrow.
You follow this DIY and you will be golden...i tried to make this as easy and not scary for Noob Tinker'ers.Okay, just wondering. You would be able to get a head start if you didn't plan on riding. Taking your time to make sure that you don't make any mistakes. Looking forward to how it looks.
Yeah, I would be tempted to take off the fairings tomorrow night after work but I dont want to do anything really until I have it in my hands. My local PO is open only from 8-10am on saturdays for walk ins. Last time I had a Priority mail item, they put a tag in my mailbox and had to wait till monday before work to pick it up.. ANNOYED me.. Come knock on my door like they did in my home town where grew up!! Garbage to pay priority mail or whatever extra USPS rates and they dont do anything special with it, except make you wait another day to get it because they couldnt put it in your box and wouldnt come to the house..Okay, just wondering.

That looks really nice!!! As mentioned to FZWhite, I was thinking of getting the paint and painting my shroud the 2009 blue, but I dont want to keep waiting to order that expensive ColorRite paint.. so I guess "stock" color and the standard reflector color for me right now.Thought id post updated pic of my light. I took it apart a few weeks ago and repainted the shroud to match the bike. Looks much better than the orange it was before.

I know this is an old thread but I'm in the same boat of wanting to do this mod but I'm not a very patient person either and would consider paying somebody to do it too bad you don't live closerOf course you have the patience to do it. I am always for hire!!!
