the paint on my frame was coming away when i bought it in rough shape so i just scraped away the crappy flakey paint and coated with hammerite smooth to protect from the evil tin worm,


when it comes to the rebuild i will probably be using pj1 fastblack epoxy paint as i have heard good reviews on it
if you choose this to patch areas then make sure you use rust remover or kurust otherwise it will flake off again

flicking around the spares and found these and thought of this thread

all 4 + relay included for under £15 (forget the relay and change the bulbs to the ones you have)
ok they aint oem fzs600 but should fit 99.8%sure , still look oem to the untrained eye, and look a little bit sharper in my opinion
(i say that by shape as there is no reference to size)

whats silly about spotting SLASH lol

anyone near southampton willing to go give him a hand and switch sprocket covers for an hour or two to see if it helps
(if the problem disappears or swaps bikes then you know the problem is that)
ive checked out the member map and there are few around - but if they read this its a different matter

aah the old rubber oil seals have turned into plastic problem
thank god for the A series easy pull apart ability (cant count how many we have rebuilt)
just done same thing to pug 205 rallye, exact same problem with hardened valve stem seals
we found running stop leak can sometimes rejuvinate the rubber if not to far gone but not the best solution
classic engines easy - have flat out refused to do my mates bmw head gasket, to much work to be fun

we still have one or two up my way that allow you to go a wandering (couple of years since last been)
but i did know the lads who worked there so that might have helped me in that respect
-there is nothing like being covered in grease and stopping for a brew and a fag sitting in the back of a limo (im not joking this really happened)


i have never seen anything in the uk for bikes im guessing you mean like in grease 2 (in infamous breakers yard)
it still happens in america where land is cheap but over here bike breakers have to work differently part H+S and part high overheads that need covered
- i think berties bike breakers in chorley you can have a walk around and see what is waiting to be broken up.
best bet is just find one near by and go have a look what they have in

it is seriously easy to lob it off, about 10 secs with angle grinder then spray inside hole with loads of paint give it a swirl to coat everything then it wont rust from inside as much (you will swap it out long before it will rust to oblivion though)


i had to bend mine up up a bit to stop it fowling the dominator headlights i had on at the time once again no big problem (whack with big hammer)

you may find that you need more wiring as you are going from a stationary headlight system to one that moves

i had to rewire my front end for the new clocks system anyhow but im sure it all started for the moving headlights
- not a difficult job just a little time consuming with soldering iron and heat shrink

the cage needs chopped down as it holds your clock but gets in the way of a naked headlight conversion
you will see what needs chopped when you get in there (will be bent to buggery after crash anyhow)

my security measures are simple
enter my premises and a naked man bearing a baseball bat will come running out at you !!!!


- i feel shouldnt tell you where i live, otherwise you will all be on my driveway laughing with cameras

that looks like a good size piece of kit - easily hidden aswell - im not looking into trackers just yet untill the fighter build is underway
- one of the big problems with them is the other half can track you at all times which might not be a good thing.

But aren't you in your garage (at home) most of the time anyway, recording reviews and build videos, for your Utube channel? 
I'm the FOCCER whose been recently commenting on a few of your Vids. Great stuff mate, excellent content.

currently making a security related video on an unbeatable alarm system - its so good even i cant disarm it with my keyfob
so the last couple of days yes i have been at home totally traceable.

i would choose depending on location
Down London - Disc lock, harder to cut than anything else out there (wankers more likely to cut the bike next to you with a chain)
Rural Home / council estate - Chain to something Solid, (more likely to be a van theft - as you would hear a grinder in use)
if you have the money there is also the tracking option - but we have fazers so prob not worth the cost
(£179 + Fitting +£100 per year subscription for a datatool = but i have heard off some interesting alternatives in the pipeline)

im not a fan of U-locks as they are solid linked so easier to cut (bar is easier to cut than moving chain) and hard to carry
a big and bulky chain can be worn like rambos bulletbelt and disc locks can fit in a pocket

UNDER NO EXCEPTION GET A THROTTLE LOCK THEY ARE USELESS

get some plus gas or something on those rear indicator nuts
went to see about chopping them down as i have just shaved my number plate (sold my front indis)
siezed solid and dont want to break them so just soaked in plus gas to wait another day


remember that sva/msva is very different from MOT and is constantly changing from what i read in kit car magazine (i know car but its still vosa)
