You know, all it took was for my friend to say "We'll be back when Chris crashes" and sure enough I crashed...

By now I'm sure everyone has seen the FZ8 photos, but in case you haven't here they are. A larger engine, naked looks, and an honest price. Maybe we are all looking at our next bike.

I WILL get better pics tomorrow.

Was there anything special you needed to do to get the R6 exhaust and such up under there? Did the stock hangers fit the same spots? I ended up holing my exhaust to try and increase the noise, and it worked, but I want to do a full replace, but don't like the cost of a TBR.

Cheers.

ok front turn signals... where did you mount them and with what? ( lol i have yet to introduce my self in the new comers fourms) your bike is looking outstanding so far, keep it up. i'll be right behind you with this as soon as i get mine.

There are a ton of threads on R6 exhaust swaps, do a quick search.

Front signals are some cheapo Micro LED blinkers from Cycle Gear (~$15) mounted on my headlight brackets.

Hey im a newbie to fz6rs and ive always loved the street fighter look. Your bike looks amazing and I would love to make my yellow fz6r a streetfighter too. just wondering what size and type of renthal bars did you buy and did you have to bend the R6 pipes to get them to fit?

Do a search, the Renthal bars have been done by many, me included, and I actually did a How to on them. The R6 header topic has been brought up many times. A simple search will get you the info that you need.
