Touring the fz6r

[Jay S.]

I wanna see pictures of your rig, even just the progress you have now, Im eager to see it

Me too, the suspense is killing me! opcorn:

Sorry..... I got a serious side track



I posted the side track though

 

[Sparkxx1]

Pictures and guides please! I especially like the compartment ideas! Oh boy oh boy, oh boy!

 

[See red]

Go to honda dealer, ask for the dash compartment with lid from a reflex 250. you will need to be creative with a dremil and be willing to possibly f-up your own dash. I have mocked mine with cardboard but then got on my side tracking ride. lol! Eventually, I will be home, have a few days off and not be out on a ride, and focus my energy on getting this all done.


I have high hopes for the 6r to be as comfy anf as capable as the Aprilia I picked up 3 weeks after buying all the stuff to start this bike.

I was going thru some old posts and came across this thread.

Red, did you ever finish this build out?

If so, did you post pics somewhere else?

 

[See red]

Sorry, thought I put them up.... lol!!!!

so.... here they are.

So, anyways I will give you more from the road.

 

[BrueThru]

Did you do the pockets in the dash you had mentioned?

Was kinda wanting to see those.

 

[See red]

I have the pockets but have not put them in as of yet. I am waiting until I get all my switches in. I may only use one and I bought two. When I am done I will put up pics, and if I only use one I will give you the other if you want. I won't get to it for a bit though.

When you do the pocket(s) could you please document it and do a How-to focusing on the template you use or how you marked out how/where to cut?

Looking good! Bad a$$ touring windscreen also!!!

Great bag/trunk set-up. I have one large bag that bungees (spider web) to the grab rail. What keeps others out is the rain cover over the bag and under the bungee. If there are things I need to have "out" I put them in a small bag that can be attached to the web and taken with me. I use the same set-up with my Harley. Haven't had anything go missing, but I haven't had the pleasure of coming back to my ride and finding someone sitting on it either!

 

[Marthy]

Here's my ride in Touring mode. Might have few bits to add, but I'm pretty much done modding. I'm debating about aux. lights... I might upgrade the top trunk one of these days for a Givi 55 with brake lights but the $90 Ebay one work just fine for now. I went for the Givi E21 for side luggage. Suite the bike better in my opinion and It should be enough storage for what I need.

I do like a girl with a big ass. :iconbeer:

 

[See red]

I call my wifes ass a counter weight... lol! but I will be keeping an eye out for guys like you..... to take her? LMAO!



I have heated grips, a really nice Marty screen, plx bags, because the 35 liter bag obviously hold more, E460 trunk (now black), I put a set of led turn and brake lights on the cross brace for the bags, I have a cig. outlet under the seat, I am adding a second set of lights, these will be OFF the beaten path ONLY.

List of things not complete is as follows, One more charging port added to the dash, front sprocket, the dash pocket, possibly two, and center stand.
