[size=1em]Hey Ogrump :eek
Glad to hear you are going to stick with the FZS range and not DOWNGRADING to an FZ6 :rolleyes "Phew" close call.
I have never owned a Boxeye but have been told by riders who have had both that there are more improvements in the Foxeye than just the lights, slightly larger capacity fuel tank, per-load adjusters to the front forks, more adjustment on the front brake lever reach.
[/size]
[size=1em]But the main improvement has to be the lights, I have High Power (90 watt) hint of blue bulbs in mine and to be honest the beam throw on main beam is better than my Merc SLK and the dipped beam really illuminates the road.
I also have LED spots on the front of my old girl 2003 Foxeye they are focused on the road so that the bottom of the beam is 30 feet in front of the front wheel the nears side LED really illuminates the edge of the road/kerb.
But to be honest they are not really necessary on the foxeye for night time riding, but, they certainly add to safety for daytime riding as I ride with my dipped head lights and LED's on all the time.
Glad you stuck to a carb bike rather than going to the FZ6 injected.
Good luck with the Boxeye sale and keep us informed.

[size=1em]Alton Ay! according to my profile map I live in the cetre of Ham Barn roundabout on the A3 near Liss, about 10 miles from Alton.
My wife is a teacher and works in Alton, me? I'm a lazy bastard and don't work at all.
Well that is not completely true I retired 3 years ago and work for two charities on a voluntary basis, keeps me busy and my mind active, it also makes me feel better about life when I cruising around in the summer on the FZS while her-in-doors is earning the money for me to gas it up. :lol [/size]
