Very simple install! Today was finally something above freezing so I seized the opportunity!

Here is a before shot:

The kit and instructions:

Grommets installed with the bushings (bushing are pushed through from the inside toward the outside)

Left and right brackets installed:

After shots!

I truly believe the cowl transforms the look of the bike. That looks like an aggressive predator ready to attack. LOVE IT!

Good step by step too! Thanks!

Thats an awesome looking spoiler. It's true, that one small change makes a big change in the appearance of the bike. Great addition Eric. Thanks for the pics.

I had one on the FZ6 as well and really liked the looks, sort of headed toward the street fighter look but the Copperdog bike with the blue and white strips has me REALLY wishing!

I may write to him to see if I can get a better deal by ordering the screen, seat cowl, blinker pods (full set) and the FE kit all at the same time. Without a discount, it is $1,177.00! I'd like to tansform this bike into a one of a kind.

Instead of the white, what other color would you put with the blue? Gold? ('09 has back forks) Silver? (Matches other small parts on the bike) Blue with what???

Go Michigan State Colors. Blue and Gold. You can't go wrong with that. I've never seen it done before.

I know of at least one other member that would like to see that!

I do like that idea and actually think it can be pulled off even without the gold forks. Thanks Billy!

Thats the look right there pal!!! Tell me that ain't sweet!!!

Well I guess now I have to go and get one for my bike too...lol. Seriously after I finish putting my YZF1000 back together I am going to get the lower cowl for my FZ1 for sure.

As for what other colors to do the stripes in...if not the white, then I would do silver that matches the other bits on the bike. I am not feeling the gold...

cmon .. now ditch those ugly signals and put some flushmounts or small ebay clear ones

As for me it is a debate between the CD screen and the lower cowl
