    Really nice mods for every day driving. I Just added a pair of Oxford heated grips to my fazer. They get really hot and they have a good quality.

    Quick piece of advise: don't get the tankcover. My experience with bikes that have such leather tank covers is that very small dirt will get between the leather and the tank and function like sanding paper due to the vibrations of the bike while driving. The two bikes I came across personally that had those on left me with a completely scratched tank underneath. And actually I did get scratches on the bikes that I've owned, but never on the tank. So maybe that's not really the thing to worry about. Awesome bike and review man, thanks! I'm looking around for a secondary bike besides my cbr1000rr, since that's not really comfortable touring around with the wifey and during winter drives. The fz6 is getting in my head as the top option to go for, since it can still go kinda fast but is also comfortable for the longer tours. Thanks again!

    • @FabMotorbikes
      @FabMotorbikes  3 года назад +1

      Wow excellent piece of advice thank you! You’ve probably saved me a lot of money and heart ache. Especially as my tank is in pretty good condition.
      I would recommend the FZ6 for what you’re describing. It can be a rugged winter work horse and a fun ‘sportier’ bike. And great for pillions with the large handles and peg lower hand kit 👍

    Great video, thanks. I like the radiator guard too. Was the belly pan easy to fit? I’m guessing it comes with the necessary bolts/clamps. I’m going to fit clear indicators on mine ( 09 FZ6N s2. You should think about fitting them to yours too.

    • @FabMotorbikes
      @FabMotorbikes  3 года назад +1

      Radiator guard is a great addition and must have. Mine came with my bike but glad to have it.
      The belly pan I got (link in description) comes with all the necessary bolts and fittings instructions. However... wasn’t a 100% perfect fit. It needed warping ever so slightly to get on. It also sits a bit too snug against the radiator pipe on the left of the bike. So had to protect that some what with a simple mod. Having said all this... I’ve had it on for two years with zero problems.
      I’ve not thought about clear indicators... what are the benefits? Is it an aesthetic choice? (Which I’m cool with)
      Thanks!

After sending them an email what specific type I should order their short response was not clear at all and confusing, not only for me but for several fellow riders that saw it. I asked them again to email me the link of the specific model and they just refused saying that we luck of communication. Professional!
