Hi from Reading
« on: 12 July 2014, 09:22:34 pm »
Hi all, I've had my Fazer for a couple of yrs now and still loving it...it's my bike for commuting...scratching...and touring. Thinking now though of converting it to a naked version with a more street fighter look having seen some pics from the American Fazer site...hopefully others have done it here and I can get some good advice, cheers, Pete

Yes, the bike is loaded up ready for a long weekend in Belgium earlier this year, a change from the usual trip to France and Normandy, I have to say though I think the roads in France seemed better maintained and a bit more interesting!


High Wycombe, yes it's not far any good riding round there you can recommend?


Right, back to researching which can to put on the Fazer...currently edging towards one from SP Engineering...


Cheers
Pete

It waz the xl short I think. It seems to fit the lines of the bike well I think .210  quid and easy to fit. I work nights and irregular shifts but im sure we can both be around at the same time.
