Ok. Here is my approach at converting the faired version (US spec) FZ6 into the UK-spec’d naked bike… FZ6-N. I have to say that this is by no means a tell-all. This was my approach based on me being picky about a proper conversion and I am sure (ask tassue) that there are and will be many more ways to do this, all of varying difficulty.

To begin – some differences with the FZ6-N (these will make more sense once you read all the way through)
1. Radiator covers and the clutch side radiator hose is reinforced
2. Master cylinder has 10mm tap. Clutch lever has a 10mm tap.
3. Wire and Cable routing varies
4. 8mm taps for the headlight bracket
5. Meter wires
6. Horn location
7. No centerstand
Tools and parts:
This is a list of “all” the parts you need to convert your bike over. NOTE: I’ll list some more parts you could buy if you wanted too…. You know… for a more complete conversion.
These first few deal with the headlight unit (as shown in post #2)

The bracket that tassue had to make has part # 1B3-23327-00
For the meter cover:
Cover - 1B3-83559-00
2 90167-05076-00 screw, tapping
2 90179-05523-00* nut
2 90149-05299-00* screw
2 90269-05049-00* rivet
Parts with a * can be ordered from Ron Ayers or your local Yammy dealer as a really nice discount.
Other tools/parts:
# Heat shrink tube (1/4”) and some larger stuff
# wire strippers, soldering iron, electrical tape
# a bunch of zip ties – weather and UV resistant recommended.
# 8mm drill and tap set (if you want to tap the holes for the headlight bracket)
# 10mm drill and tap set for tapping the master cylinder for a mirror
# Self tapping weather resistant screws – if you don’t want to tap 8mm holes
# mirrors and a mirror bracket for the clutch side. Link to Mirrors I purchased 2086831 but it was closely followed by 2021711 and 2064531. The mount is at the bottom.
Of course, as mentioned, there are other parts that can be ordered OEM. One that I should have ordered is the bracket that holds the brake line to the headlight bracket, but I am using 2 zip ties, which seem to work fine. Also – might be a good idea to ask about the OEM front turn signals. The US version ones are HUGE!
