Very nice, Fazers always look better with USD in my opinion, wasn't sure on the lights at first but looking at the other pics I do like them and it looks different to other fazers. Good job

Looking very tidy with some neat touches all around.  What was the donor bike for the forks and what's the extra switchgear near the clutch for?

Nothing sacrilegious at all - nice job! :)

Gen1 (2004) Busa forks and wheel, cut down and modified Busa mudguard. Nissin calipers from Triumph 1050 'cause the Busa 6-pots are awful. That's not switchgear on the clutch side, it's auxiliary power supply for satnav etc. Agree seat needs reupholstering by an expert, I replaced the rider section foam with thinner very high density for lower riding position.

Looks excellent ptolemyx...a really neat & well thought out modification.  :thumbup


Did you make the yokes yourself? Gotta love a fat billet ally yoke!  :)


Just curious tho'...were R1 forks (& wheel) not suitable?

That looks very neat, nicely done sir.

Needs more lights, though.
