Thanks to everyone for the replies, I only do 2 to 3,000 mile a year and do winter at all anymore. I like my bike to be as immaculate as possible and the Fazer's pretty good generally with just a few bits letting it down. The front of the engine, the radiator and the exhaust are the main issues so I want to sort them first but I'm not dropping the engine out, so if the etch primer is going to cause me problems I'll not use it, thanks for the head up Ghost Cat. The deoxidiser is phosphoric acid based so that may give the PJ1 a pretty good key anyway. I've used Sperex Flameproof VHT with good results in the past so I'll use that on the pipes. If standard rattle can paint will cope with the temperatures the radiator reaches I'll take advantage of the 4 for 3 offer on Halfords paints and get gloss for the radiator and the centre and side stand and some satin for the wheels. Hopefully that'll be about it but your never really finished are you? I bought a Fazer just to ride and not worry too much about it's condition, though my wife and a couple of my mates (and my tame mechanic) told me it would become a project, but that's half the fun isn't it? I don't mind how much time I spend on it, I just don't want it to cost a fortune.
