I have had one fitted to my last two bikes CBF1000 & Z1000SX they were great. I used to do a lot of long distance touring so they made sense.
I have just got a new FZ6 must have been the last one around in Spain 2010 bike but unregistered. I took it up to my dealers yesterday as they are fitting a few add on's, centre stand, crash bungs , fly screen ,tank pad and supposed to be a Scott Oiler. They have been baulking about it as they say Spain is a hot country and the oil gets thrown all over the tyre. I explained that is down to flow rate and also you can get a high viscosity spec oil for warmer climates. They are telling me I am wasting my money especially as my touring is very limited now. So I have decided against fitting one, also seeing I will have a centre stand will make cleaning and lubricating the chain so much easier. But I do think they are a good bit of kit , that is ONCE YOU GET THE FLOW RATE SORTED OUT. Looking around the FZ6 were to fit the resiviour could be a headache. On my SX it was under the seat and it was a pain topping it up, rule of thumb you should be looking at getting approx. 1000 miles between topups.
