Ahh didn't see that, i guess your radiator lines threw me off and made it look like a 6-2.
Is the exhaust the reason for the radiator relocation?

for $1200 i would go with the voyager and copy what 6cylinder has done to his, the DFI does it for me.
i paid double that for a rusty ZG and have spent £2000 or more on it so far and still not finished.

No The DG system fits fine behind the radiator.

And a 6 into 1 is no problem with the DFI, you can adjust the fuelling to an extent anyway.

Man, you guys have about talked me back into this. I was seeing the fuel injection as a con since it doesn't seem to have any tuning support, but if I can get it to run right with an aftermarket 6-1 system I'd be all over it
Guy can't meet this weekend so I guess if he still has it next week I'll go take a look.
What does adjusting the fueling on the DFI entail? Manipulating the fuel pressure? I am comfortable tuning carbs, so far I've left any fuel injection tuning to the pros on my other bikes.

The DFI 1300s don't seem to be finicky when it comes to exhausts. And yes, although not necessary unless you make big changes to the engine, adjusting the fuelling entails manipulating the fuel pressure, you can fit an adjustable fuel pressure regulator; it's a bit crude but does the trick. They seem to run better with a slightly higher fuel pressure anyway.
