Newbie.
« on: 22 January 2012, 01:02:50 pm »
Hi Guys.
Another newbie to the forum.  :D  Been using the forum for a while for tips about my Fazer, thought I'd better join up and introduce myself.
 
As you have just read, I own a Fazer, she's a 600 mk1, and my second Fazer now, first being about 8 or so years ago. I also own a home built R1 streetfighter. The Fazer's for work covering 40+ miles per day, and the R1 comes out for the sunny days. :rolleyes
 
I was an engineer in the Army for 17 years, and just play with the engineering as a hobby now with a carreer elsewhere. If it has an engine, i'll play with it/tune it/tweak it or blow it up trying to improve it!
 
So Hi to everyone, and the first virtual rounds on me, so what you having? :)
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

Yep that's a CBR 125 front end I grafted on. Looks ok, but the headlights a bit naff!

She's a never ending project. Had her for about 5 1/2 years and slowly changed her to what she is now. I've recently got a colour coded rear seat cowl and taken the Baglux cover off. Just got the wheels to re-paint/polish up, then she's pretty much done..........for now!
 
I'd love a wavy disk set up and maybe the later 5 spoke wheels, but can't throw much more money at her, as she's just a toy. Goes well though! :evil
