i have them on my FZ6R and did my own cut-outs. look at my virtual garage and you'll see how i installed them. i just measured cut-outs and ordered sheets to do my R6 next.
my placement is not on the tank, but below the tank. some question how effective they are there. i'd say prolly not as effective as if on the tank itself. but, for me, i still do notice that they work. (i have the scuff marks on the inner knee/ thigh area of my leathers to prove it.) for me it was more about combining functionality & appearance, because i don't like the way it looks on the tank.
Did you get the general sport sheet or the one for the Fz6r and modify it?
