Yep, super sweet. Nice touch with the cowl, too. I may have to get one!

Cool! Thanks for verifying. Yeah, I would love to add a touch of red to that area.
When you say it doesn't sit totally flush, does it look/feel like it seals the oil hole though? I just don't want anything getting in there, or coming out, that shouldn't be.
Yeh it seels the hole alright, the black rubber gromet is recessed in to the oil cap in the stock one where as in the after market it's not recessed so the cap doesn't sit flush. Hope that makes sense. I can take pictures if you like?
Thanks again for verifying! (Late reply, but I've been busy
) I just bid on a red one.Hey mate,
The oil cap I just got from eBay, cheap but still looks good and does the job.

The bar ends are actually ones for on R6, I bought them without realising. However my dad made a part at his shop that screws into handlebars and then allows the end cap to screw into this part. A lot of work in the end.
But here's an example of one you can get that's for the 6r.

As a fellow Black N' Gold, looks nice and clean. Keep it up bud! :thumbup:
All you are missing is the Puig Rear Tire hugger.
Be careful though, the best looking one is the 5035N.
Yeh I have seen them and they look really good, been thinking about if for a while but since i just bought a new cage, the bike will have to wait for a bit
Well I bought the bike in early 2011 and I hadn't seen the bike at all before then. I guess the bike never really took off because of its higher price of a derestricted bike when you can buy a 250 that goes just as fast if not faster for half the price. I guess I just saw through the price to realise that I am getting two bikes in one which will be cheaper in the long run. This meant that there weren't a lot of mods I could get in Aus so I had to order from the states.
However I have seen maybe 5-10 fz6rs since then across two different states.
I think even here in the states sales of the FZ6R have been a little slow. I have yet to see another one on the road here in PA. I'm sure they're here, but I keep missing them. If the bike sticks around long enough I think it will take off. It's not only a great first bike, but just a great all around bike. Parts are also getting easier to find since it's in its 5th year.
So unfortunately I leave you guys with trading in the fz6r but sticking with Yamaha picking up the MT09 or FZ09 to the US folk yesterday. The new bike is amazing and a great step from the 6r. You immediately notice the lightness compared the 6r and of course the power. Overall I am very happy with my time on the 6r and all she has taught me, but so happy with the new purchase. I will be checking in from time to time and I will leave u with a couple of pics of the MT.
Cheers,
Mitch
