Yeah I noticed those.... hot stuff. Gilles really machines some beautiful pieces. Their machine work is top notch. The price tag goes with it though....

this isn't a major issue as where they are right now isn't that big of a deal , just wanted to know the questions listed above ,
thasnks in adance,

See if the handlebar and hardware from an FZ6 will fit on the R6.

On the FZ6 I think the handlebars are one piece and clamped into a bracket, and that bracket is mounted to the top triple tree.

You could swap over that whole assembly (triple tree, bracket, and handlebars) except the 06-08 R6 has inverted forks and the FZ has conventionals, so the fork tubes are too big on the r6 (50mm clipons versus I think 43mm).

The FZ swap would take some work.
