    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    No, I sold my FZ, so there won't be any further progress on this idea from my end, sorry!

    What does the integrated tail light do? That looks a lot like mine, and as far as I know, mine is stock. As for mirrors, I bought a set of bar ends from Amazon, and turned down the factory end weights on my lathe to allow me to clamp-mount them outboard. I get great visibility, no vibration, and...

    We'll look forward to seeing what you've done (or will do) to it! :)

    Where is everyone?

    Welcome! Clean looking 6R. Is that factory paint and bodywork? I haven't seen a white one around here. It seems that only the blue and black ones were sold in this area, or at least those are all I've seen. Mine will be a streetfighter-type when I'm done with it. I intend to paint it a...

    Where is everyone?

    No doubt! I've learned a lot from browsing and searching those old threads. I do hope we see some new traffic soon. I have a few projects in the works for mine, and I plan to share them here. Maybe that'll get things moving a little bit. I totally agree about what Jerzee55 said regarding the...

    Where is everyone?

    That's kinda what I mean. For example, the GS500 forums, a bike which hasn't been built in ages, is super active. I really hope we can revive this group into a resource for the few FZ6R riders still out there. :)

    Where is everyone?

    So basically you're telling me this forum is dying because people don't have many of these bikes? That's too bad. I've been part of lots of model-specific groups in the past, and never seen one fade out like this. :/

    Question Fork/Handlebar twist?

    Thanks for the feedback guys! I've done the loosen/twist/tighten process a couple times, and gotten it mostly back straight, but not totally. I'm not sure if one of the tubes is slightly bent or not. One of these days when I can get some room in my shop, I'm gonna try to support it overhead and...

    Where is everyone?

    Probably true, but I can't imagine why. For me, I have no use for an R6, but the FZ6R is deeply appealing. I love the light weight, upright seating position, and overall simplicity. That being said, I really wanted a FZ6, I just couldn't find one in my area for a reasonable price. ;)

    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    I love your enthusiasm! :) I'm very much not local to you (east coast), and at the moment I'm buried under work, family obligations and other things that are making it difficult devote time to this project. In addition, I'm not totally certain I even have the skills required to model and...

    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    Well that's interesting, since the page I linked was directly from Yamaha Global. Maybe they don't know their own products? :) I see the single-piece seat, but that still doesn't really look quite like the one is the photo from the cowl ad page. The grab rail and tail fair profiles are...

    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    Exactly. That's the same shop I linked to earlier, and it clearly shows that their cowl in no way will fit the 09-17 FZ6R, regardless of what they say. It looks nothing like our bikes. I'm not sure what bike that is they are showing in the product image, but it sure isn't an XJ6-F.

    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    Yeah, I would love to be able to produce something around $100, but I'm not sure if that's feasible. Honestly, I'm not sure if this is doable at all, since my time is limited, and it's a fairly complex part.

    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    Do you have a link for a cowl you think will fit? The one posted earlier was for a totally different style of bike.

    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    Umm... do you mean the one that's clearly for a totally different bike? Please let us know if you found one that looks like it will fit the FZ6R, but so far we haven't found one that looks likely.

    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    Yeah, that's the Chinese aftermarket one that was floating around for a while. It seems that a few smaller stores (like that one) still have a couple, and are charging way more than it's worth in hopes that anyone who wants one will pay through the nose for it. lol I found this one last night...

    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    Nah, that's totally different than the FZ6R tail. Speaking of price, if I was able to fabricate something, it would likely end up being at least $100 shipped, including whatever hardware I could include that didn't have to be swapped from the bike. I'm only basing that on the amount of time it...

    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    Doesn't it always?! :) I took my passenger seat off last night and looked at it, with the idea of modeling it. It's actually a fairly complicated piece. One problem I see with prototyping is that the front hooks are molded into the base pan, so I would have to actually destroy my seat, or make...

    Fz6r rear cowl seat

    That's a good point. If there was actual interest in something that I could sell, then it might be worth the many hours of work that it will take to produce and refine. Do you have a link for the eBay auction?
