Hello

Hi. I'm Shane. Just bought my first Fazer. A 54 plate 1000. Picking it up tomorrow. Can't wait. I'll probably be looking for advice on luggage and touring mods for it.

welcome mate ,tidy bike looks very clean great bike as standard but a few mods make it an unreal handling powerhouse ,the rear shock isnt great to be fair ,this forum has lots of tips about suitable replacements, id also get it ivanized asap if i was you ive recently had mine done and between that and the bmw 1000rr rear shock its a different bike from when i bought it completly, enjoy the forum and enjoy the bike

oh ya some handguards 12v powerpoint tank bag and some saddle bags for the odd trip and your away for slates

Ok what the hell is Ivanised?

[Blowfish]

Bloody typical. The bikes never been out in the rain. I'm picking it up in 2 hours and it's peeing down

Ivanised is when you take the carbs out and fit an "ivans performance" set of ulgraded fuel jets

There are two versions of Ivanising, "slip on" and "full Monty". Both are an upgrade from standard but the full Monty has a bit more work involved and produces a few extra bhp as a result.

Thanks Mick. I'd better get me one of those then

highly recomended,, best mod for the money along with the rear shock of course,with all that power comes great resposibility or not
