hey all,
looking to sell my Fazer 1000 2001-05 Baglux cover.

I bought this last year but accidentally bought the wrong colour!! I bought the dark silver/grey cover instead off the light silver/grey for my fazer.. I've since managed to pick up one the correct colour for mines so im selling the dark silver/grey one.

no pictures done as yet but it is in great condition, only been on the bike a couple of times for weekends away. if anyones interested I can get some pictures done and post up especially if anyone is wanting any specific shots/angles etc.
ideally I would like £70 ono for it but that includes postage at least..

if there's anyone wanting further info leave a message here or by PM

For Sale & Wanted / 2002-03 Fairing Lowers.. anyone after a set?
« on: 10 July 2013, 08:30:38 pm »
 I was tidying out the shed the other day and came across a set of fairing lowers in silver for the 2002-2003 Fazer 600 I had years back.. I bought these 2nd hand for my silver 2003 model but ended up trading in the bike before I got round to fitting them.. 
As I've got a Fazer thou now they're not really much use to me as Im needing the space for all the other bike bits I keep buying and never use!! :rolleyes ..
I thought of putting them on ebay but considered seeing if any of you guys on here would be interested first..
I havn't thought too much about price or such as yet so open to offers.
The side fairings are complete with no cracks but I think there's some tiny scratches and a very slight bit of wear on one panel where its been rubbing against something in the garage.. There's a fitting kit too but no instructions as I never actually tried to fit it on the bike.. I've a receipt from the original owner too showing the price etc  - he paid £274 for them in 2003.. The receipt states T.C.P. Lower fairing FZS if that helps
havn't considered the best way to send them yet if anyone was interested either so open to suggestions for that too..
So, anyone interested. need more info, pics etc.. They would be cheap enough to respray too if you aint got a silver machine...
Im in the Scottish Borders too if that helps
 
post or PM me. add your email and I can reply direct.

FZS600 Fazer / tracking down the old bike
« on: 18 May 2013, 09:51:36 pm »
Hey all,
Cleaning out all my old documents tonight and came across the Insurance docs for my old 600 fazer and was wondering if anyone on this forum owned it now, I'd be curious to know where it ended up..
YAMAHA FAZER FZS600
Reg No. SP03 HYV
Colour Silver
Bike was totally standard.. Bought it from a bloke on the Isle of Arran in June 2010 and ended trading it in at a bike shop in Galashiels for a VFR800 a year later ..
 
So, anyone know where it is now? If you own it and don't wanna make it public then PM me
 
Btw, VFR ended up getting traded in for a 2005 FZS1000, now my current bike.. VFR was good but didn't have the comfort of the fazer but needed more power than the 600  :)

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Changing the bikes colour without a respray
« on: 15 October 2012, 06:38:48 pm »
was discussing changing colours on bikes today, got a great deal when I bought the bike but the colour wasnt my first choice.. looked into changing the colour but finding decent panels in the right colour combinations can be a bit hit and miss.. ebay doesnt always have them in the colours Im looking at or has parts that are slightly damaged or marked and would need touched up so I thopught of looking into the cost with brand new parts...
Wasnt worried about proper factory bodywork/engine paint combinations as such.. I have a '05 silver model with silver engine but want to reduce the amount of silver on the bike.. I feel theres too much currently especially with the added colour matched hugger and belly pan.. (see avatar)
Not looking for a custom paintjob or anything, just something I can swap over so factory colours/decals are fine..
Did think about the respray route but wondered if buying new might be a cheaper option after you consider the price or a respray, new decals and such.. genuine Yamaha colours are bloomin' expensive!!
Does anyone know any wesites etc that sell new panels/tanks etc..
been looking round the net but aint having much luck.. plenty of sites selling all the other stuff - tyres, engine parts, seats, electrics etc but cant find anyone doing panels or related bodywork..
Thoughts?

General / First dissapointment with the fazer..
« on: 10 September 2012, 10:17:52 am »
Had the bike a week now..
Some good miles driving it home and used it on friday for the 70 mile round trip to work with no problems.. Washed it during the lunch break as it was a wet trip up but dry home.

Sunday morning run planned so walks it backwards out the garage onto the road.. Felt a little stiff, brakes binding a little. Thought the 3 miles to meet the mates would loosen it up... It didnt.. In fact it got tighter.
Decided to pop into the local halfords for some brake cleaner. When i got off the bike noticed the back tyre was kinda soft.. Puctured with a bit of windscreen glass bugger.
Got the brakes loosened off a little but no perfect. Still feel a slight drag.. Strip in order when im home.
Fixed the puncture with one of those plug kits and decided to drive the 35 miles to edinburgh to one of the dealers for a better repair or replacement.
A slow trip later i gets there to find the workshop aint open.. Phoned two other dealers with no luck so back home..
Went to take the front wheel off and it needs a special tool.. Dont have it..

Not a giod day at all... Severely ticked off..

General / Shad top box racks
« on: 07 September 2012, 10:37:45 am »

Hey all quick question..
Having trouble getting a rack at a decent frice for my gen 1 1000.

Came across the Shad rack arms on ebay and wondered if anyone has one and can tell me if theyre any good.. Also does the old flat style givi plates fit them..

Givi arms just seem to be too expensive at the minute

Introduction / Time for a 1000
« on: 30 August 2012, 12:27:55 pm »
Hey all. Just realised i aint done the old INTRODUCE YOURSELF thing so here we go..

Im Alan and used to be on here a few years back when i had a 2003 gen 1 600cc model.. I traded that in for a vfr800 but have been tempted back to the dark side again.. :-)
A couple of mates own them and have raved about how good they are so thought what the heck.. Ill check them out

So im trading in the viffer and picking up my new machine this sunday, a rather nice looking 05 fzs1000 in silver.. Mates picking up one the same day so i can see an interesting run back home to.Scotland..
Looking forward to seeing if this machines all folks claim it to be..
