Front fork - Yamaha FZ6R Forums - International FZ6R / XJ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

ok so since my bike had a little boo boo, im trying to figure out the cheapest way to fix her back up. and since this is the first year of the model i know its gonna be rediculously expencive to try and replace with OEM parts.

so im trying to see what other front forks would fit, perhaps off of a R6 or something with adjustable shocks would be nice. but seeing as how its pretty much my only transportation i might just go for anything that will fit and thats cheap.

any sugestions or recomendations?

I don't know if you consider the below ridiculously expensive but looks like the OEM parts to replace the fork will run just a little over 700 bucks. That's if you have to replace everything, if you have any parts that aren't trashed then it could be cheaper. Check it out here

This is a sweet site. My local dealer has the same app but is quite a bit more expensive. Has anyone else found a good site for OEM replacement parts or aftermarket fairings?

I guess the best price depends on what part you need. I am replacing my shift pedal and Cycle Parts Warehouse has it for $39.88 and at MR Cycles the price is $45.15. So stating the obvious shop around between the two.

True that. I noticed MR Cycles was cheap for cowlings but more expensive for hard parts.

Good to know about the lower prices on the cowlings since those seem pretty salty anyway!

Another good website i like and used recently is cheapcycleparts.com. They were pretty damn cheap and very professional. I got a new tank, right side cowling and front cowling for around 1200 bucks. all painted
