Hi. My name is Jim, and I am the proud owner of a 2005 ZX6R. I purchased it from a dealership last summer, and I love it! The bike is completely stock, and I can't stop looking at all the aftermarket parts and drooling. I plan on adding to the bike, but only if it improves the package. So what I would like to hear is what mods some of you have made that you were very happy with, and maybe some that were not as impressive. I was thinking of starting with a slip-on exhaust, a smoke windscreen, and possibly a steering damper. Any suggestions or advice would be great! Thanks!

definitely do the exhaust and double bubble.be care on your windscreen.my brother has the 06 636 and put an aftermarket screen.it's so low , he has a hard time seeing his instrument panel.

Thanks. I was thinking of going with a zero gravity or a Puig double bubble style screen. However, I also like the look of the MRA wind screens. I'm still undecided, but thanks for the input. Maybe I'll have to put the names in a hat and keep my fingers crossed!

I would love to if I could get away from work! But as they say, "duty calls!" No matter. The warm weather will be here soon enough. Maybe I'll take a ride down your way then! Anyway, I gotta go. I'll check back in tomorrow afternoon. Later. It was nice talking to you. Jim.

Watch out for the sun on the instrument cluster. The double bubble will act like a magnifying glass on the plastic panels and melt them.
