Decided on new mods

I ordered the following parts and these are my next mods:

1) CBR1100xx Clipons. The only ones that fit the FZ with no steering clearance issues. These should change the sitting position quite a bit. There is a picture comparing the stock bars with the clipons...the difference is obvious. The picture belongs to TheHun member of SBN forum.

2) Motrax mobile phone alert. This is a quite cheap mod. A red light comes on to let you know your phone is ringing. No wires no nothing. I will report on how long it can live without problems. I suspect placing it where water and humidity can get to them the least will help

3) Thinking of painting fenders blue along with the bellypan. These pics show my different options


4) SS brakelines are not made for this specific ABS model (FZ6-SA) so anyone with this bike thinking about this upgrade can forget about it, unless you are willing to pay to have them custom made for you. Although, many people will argue that custom made ones are sure to fail in a year or two.
