FZS600 Fazer / Headlight/Instrument Lights Problem
« on: 17 August 2012, 06:40:22 pm »
Hi guys,

Can anyone help me with this small problem, please? I've converted my '98 Fazer to a cafe racer look with a single headlight. I'm now very pleased with the looks, handling and headlight perfomance (which is about a million times better than standard!).

My problem is now when I switch the dipped beam on, the high beam light on the instrument panel comes on at about half strength and when I switch to main beam it comes on fully.

When I first wired up the light I had the dipped and main beam wired up the wrong way around BUT the main beam light on the panel came on ONLY when the main beam was switched on. The troubles have only started since I've wired the lights correctly simply by switching the connectors around in the plug for the bulb. I checked all the earths and connections and even earthed both the earth wires from the original twin headlight wiring but to no avail. I have changed the main bulbs in the instuments to LED ones but they made no difference to the idiot lights when the headlight wiring was the wrong way around so I'd guess they're not the reason. It's obviously getting a small feed from somewhere. Perhaps I need some resistors somewhere? Any ideas greatly appreciated!  ;)

Cheers,

Giles  :)

FZS600 Fazer / Fazer/Thundercat Cable Lengths
« on: 10 August 2012, 10:23:16 am »
Need some help, please.

My cafe racer conversion is nearly done on my Fazer but the clip-on bars have meant that all the cables for the controls are now really long and bunch up, taking any slack out of them and possibly having dangerous side effects if something sticks open/closed.

As Thundercats have lower bars, does anyone know if the cables are shorter and if they'll fit the Fazer?

Thanks,

Giles  ;)

FZS600 Fazer / Bracket to hold clocks on un-faired Fazer?
« on: 10 July 2012, 11:26:56 am »
Hi guys,
 
In my quest to 'cafe racer' my Fazer I am removing the fairing and fitting a single headlight and clip-ons.  8)
 
My problem is what to hold the clocks on with as I believe their fixings are part of the same fairing/headlamp bracket?
 
Do people make their own brackets or is there one off another model that'll fit?
 
Cheers,

FZS600 Fazer / Rear sets
« on: 02 July 2012, 10:50:23 am »
Hi guys,
 
I'm converting my Fazer into a cafe racer and need some rear sets and don't fancy spending 340 odd quid on some Gilles ones!  :eek
 
Any cheaper suggestions?
 
Cheers,

Introduction / Hi Guys and Gals!
« on: 01 July 2012, 02:29:35 pm »
Hi all,
 
I'm Giles from Epsom, Surrey and have owned my trusty gen1 FZS 600 for about 4 years now, using her for the dialy commute to London and for general hooning around on.  :)
 
As she's coming up to her 35,000 mile mark I thought I'd treat her so she's now wearing a full stainless 4-2-1 system with Simmi can, K&N filter, NGK Irridium plugs and Pirelli Diablo Strada tyres.
 
As the fairings cracked after I dropped her in the snow (D'oh!) I've decided to cafe racer her as I've always loved the look of them, so I'm sure I'll be after everyone's help and advice very soon!
 
Cheers,
 
Giles
