Hello, new fzs600 owner
« on: 11 October 2017, 10:43:42 pm »
Howdo from north Manchester area, just got a 2001 37,000 mile red/black fazer which was a trade sale with no guarantee or return etc. From a well known dealer(ebay sale)
I paid £650 for it and it ran like a pig all the way home some 35 miles. Good news is that I managed to sort it out with another set of carbs and it runs beautifully now. All I need to do now is re paint the forks, free off the brakes  and repair and respray the fairing and give it a full service etc.
Anyone got any tips for repairing plastic bodywork?

Hi and welcome,  you have picked the best colour combo at least. Any pictures of your Fazer?

And if you expand you can see the missing piece of fairing, it is tatty but I've done a few bikes up in the past and I intend to strip this one next year and give it some TLC

Here's a gpz600 I built from scratch using an alloy frame and boxes of bits, should have kept that one it got loads of comments being a one off

Think a few of you on here will know what this is, I just had to re live a memory from my youth, it was great to ride round on this beauty but I was pestered by loads of people to sell it. Lots of work and money went into this one
