Be more specific of what it felt like. You might give people the wrong impression.

Oh no, it was awesome! Well, the first crazy thing was the ergos... setback plates + very low clipons = bike asking to be leaned in corners (we went around the big traffic circle behind my house a few times, and this things kept wanting to go lower and lower ).

Then I obviously noticed the big diff caused by the -1/+2 gear conversion... (I will have to try -1 in the front now for sure)... finally, I liked the rear Ohlins very much as well... not sure I could feel the PCIII though... but then again, with so many differences, it's difficult to compare it with a stock FZ

Compare with other people my mod of front mask is not so unique. I bought Harris Ariete spoiler and made bracket for my FZ6. At that time I dislike std color and, I sent paint shop to do. Now, looks good combination with rear end ,frame, spoilar, front end. let me hear your impresion.

Looks good. Just paint the tank and front fender black. IMHO.

spaman48-san,

I almost agree with you but I'll paint tank to White with red stripe, fender to red like a RZ250 at old days before your suggestion.

That is going to look AWESOME. The FZ6 tank is the perfect shape for that. You could even do an off-center stripe, like the Monster S2R. Subscribed.

I'm feeling sure my plan will be nice by your opinion. Well, I'll ask to paint tank in just white and I'll run consideration how attach red 3M tape (stripe) on it.

Thank you,

Kumaj
