Not me , got on the ring road at Hicks gate roundabout , stayed on the ring road until the m32 , then down m32 back into Bristol and up the Bath road and home . Bit to cold today to be enjoyable .

I came across an brand new display model MRA Spoiler screen at half price and bought it. Washed the Fazer 1000 and fitted the Screen. Looks good

, now to get some reasonable weather to try it on a long trip with it.

Today it was rear end of the bikes turn to get some TLC, wheel out, old sprocket off along with the rear disc taken off, wheel then had wot I class as a deep clean (in all the nocks n cranys) cleaned rear disc, then refitted it with titanium disc bolts also have titanium sprocket nuts as well, then moved onto the swingarm which also had a good clean and while I was there I fitted new stainless steel chain adjuster bolts, the exhaust had to come off to gain access to the brake torque arm which is getting replaced by a custom one, so the can and link pipe got the cleaning treatment as well, gone are the strap marks, then onto the rear caliper stripped it all down and cleaned it up (pins were a little difficult to get out) copper slipped a few bits and its all back together again, ordering a new chain n sprocket kit tomorrow then I can get the rear end all buttoned up, then onto the engine, overall the bike wasn't to bad but there's always room for improvement......(a few more photos of other clean stuff in tomorrows instalment...lol)

I have that exhaust, I drilled out the rivet that holds in the baffle and then spent the next few days searching for a bolt and nut small enough to put it back in! Thought the Balrog from lord of the rings was sat on my pillion seat, was making my helmet vibrate my skull and ear drums!

Mines not got the baffle in either but I have to say mines got a lovely growl I think the exup valve mutes the sound a little

Took wheels/center stand off
Stripped out bearings ready for powder coating next week :-)

Sold it (well part-ex).

It had 19k on the clock when I got it 9 years ago and it had 55059 when I got off for the last time.

Bloody good bike - I did just over 35,000 miles and other than 2 punctures (one at home and one at work) I never broke down.

Fired mine up this morning and give the bike a spin up and down back tenfoot for ten minutes then had to dive for cover back in garage due to sleet/snow shower, after seeing Rexr's nice bike pictures i'm feeling guilty about neglecting mine now, iv'e added an XT660 to the stable recently and been paying a lot more attention to my new girl than my old one last couple of months, think it's time to get thermals back on and go back to garage and give the old girl a bit of tlc, she's been a faithful friend for 11 years and over 70000 miles together, she deserves better!. Hope she forgives me!!.

Painted and polished rims...

Digger Seat...

fazersharp · « **Reply #3840 on:** 01 February 2015, 11:00:08 pm »

I dont "get" blue wheels as a rule unles the bike is blue but then looking at yours with the polished rims you have matched the blue to the blue dot calipers and also done some blue on the disk also some extra blue touches here and there I see, I think it works with the silver

Rexr · « **Reply #3841 on:** 02 February 2015, 12:57:48 am »

Well because I'm a wee bit sad I gave the front sprocket area a dam good clean out and it was fooking rotten inside it so it got the same treatment the rest of the bike as got recently also fitted the front and rear sprockets (with titanium sprocket nuts) ready for the chain tomorrow, gold X ring

put a new set of spark plugs in the FZ6, they didn't look as bad as I thought they would to say they have done 39,000 miles, changing the coolant as the radiator was removed and might paint front of engine and polish the down pipes and......................

Rexr · « **Reply #3845 on:** 05 February 2015, 05:26:47 pm »

Fitted my new chain and took the hugger off to give it a good cleaning and then a waxing.......My m8 came round earlier to test fit the custom torque arm he's making me......
