2002 Fazer 1000 front end free mod
« on: 07 June 2016, 12:07:45 pm »
Hi all, fairly new to this site, but like the banter and sound advice, after reading an old post on this subject I had a tweek with the bike, dropped the forks 10mm through top yoke and changed handle bars to straight drag type, if you like a sportier riding position and a bit sharper cornering then give it a try, its easy to do and free..


Forgot to add that I had to cut a gap in the plastic dash panel to allow free movement of throttle cables, need to check that throttle operates properly on full lock...

Welcome adey glad you like the banter as it looks like you've got some.

Have you checked out the new Gen1 FAQ I think it's pretty good  :D http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,20273.0.html
