The life of my fazer has changed...

I bought my fazer in 2005 brand new and within 2000 miles had the full monty fitted by Mike. I have fitted r6 shock, 2008 R1 front end and lot's of other accessories over the years. The bike has been amazing.... But times are changing and modern bikes are now, very advanced. I used to ride my Fazer and think it was top level handling and motor. It still is in many respects, but for a hooligan ride out at the weekend it's not doing it for me as much as my other bike, so now it has a new role... I am actually doing more miles on it because of this! It now is my all round travel bike/ winter bike. I have taken it to orkney isles, western isles and everywhere in between and it has been faultless apart from the alarm :\  I still love it. Never to be sold.

Old-Git:
Looks good. What's involved in a R1 USD front end swap please? Considering either this or a front fork rebuild / damper revalve. Ta.

It was years ago I fitted the front end... the top yoke is made by lsl , the bottom yoke is from a 2003 r1.  I had the steering stem made to suit the yokes by a guy on American fazer site.  I then had to buy bearings from bike bearings in England to suit the steering stem and diameter of steering column. I will try and find any paperwork I have and list it.

ProdigalSon:
I can't quite work out if you other bike is an RSV4 or Tuono with an RSV4 tail, I had to sell my Tuono V4 as I needed the money and bought my 2002 Fazer, the Tuono was a hooligan machine loved it, hopefully this time next year I shall go back to one. :)

It's a factory 2017 Tuono 1100 v4. The factory model comes as a single seater. My old 1000 v4 I had to fit the rsv4 tailpiece..
