OK Guys lets see if you can answer a question that seems the most unanswered I can find on line....


The Bike Yamaha FZ6 Naked 2005 similar to...

Have to agree its the best looking screen there is the Yamaha original...


My problem is the screen is my red and stands out like a sore thumb, it also has considerable amounts of vertical surface. I think this makes me an easy target for those photography divisions, they have an easy thing to "focus" on (some say I can twist that left hand forward and that problem will go away :? )...


Secondly reason is with cooler weather next time I am on the bike that little bit of an increase in protection would be most beneficial... Can they get my head out of the wind on longer journeys?


The best I can find is:

Can any one recommend or have any experience?


With regards to hand guards these are for weather protection primarily. The problem is the handle bars on the FZ6 are rather cluttered. with little space to clip the inboard end on to...


I know some will say heated grips I have used them when I was learning and found the tips of my fingers still ended up frozen cold... Again all advice appreciated..


All works I want to be able to undo for prettiness and when I am allowed to move on giving next owner the choice...

MRA screens are good. but they're more about reducing buffeting - turbulence, than actual protection. obviously they do offer some protection, maybe more if its higher than the original.


adding hand guards. the best Ive seen are the Bark busters. which I have on my 800. there are various types so it will probably mean some research till you come up with the most appropriate for your particular bike.
