RELATED MODS: RIZOMA Rear Sets JSA Customs Handle Bar clamp PAZZO Levers
I'm always impressed with RIZMOA's manufacturing and quality and their grips and bar ends are works of art! Thanks to all the others on FZ6-Forum.com who have posted about these grips. Seeing them on all the other bikes made the decision very easy for me to get a set!
I went with black grips with gold bar ends. I did this to match my PAZZO levers which are also black with gold adjusters. I could have gone with just black and silver, but I wanted my controls to stand out a bit and I think black and gold look great together! I'm wishing I had an all black FZ6 and then I would do a lot more accents in gold. RIZOMA Grips and Bar ends

I have to be honest and say I wasn't overly impressed with RIZOMA's mounting system for their bar ends. I consists of turning a screw that expands a rubber collar inside your handlebar. I found these to be a bit of a pain in the arse, especially getting the throttle side one on.
After riding now for a while with them I must say that they are surprisingly comfortable and the smaller diameter grips feel much better in my hands. I was pleasantly surprised that even with the drastically lighter bar ends, there is still very little vibration in the grips!
