thanks for the tips-Toady,
the only reason I dont feel the engine is cos its an engine from the Yamaha xjr, which makes servicing/repairs really tricky, cos half the electrical wiring and switches are for the XJR, not FZS. that's why I felt the need to throw in the original FZS engine (600 or 400).
I don't have access to HVLP, but am looking at a couple of youtube videos about aerosol sprays, (they give some good results).
i will aim to make it as presentable and safe as i possibly can.

@BBROWN1664, I guess so, i couldn't get enough info from the bikes papers to confirm if its the 400. i tried checking the usual numbers on the fame at the front and back, but the frame was corroded and the numbers are not visible, it has some fzs 400 parts and some 600 parts,
its so mixed up that am confused too, i didn't get it with the blue spot calipers... :(

Introduction / new to bikes & a new Fazer
« on: 17 June 2016, 11:51:07 am »
hi Guys,
I just bought a fazer in a not so good shape, but rides ok for the most part.
staying in Africa- Uganda to be exact ...I have no access to authorized dealers or second hand bike sellers, no spare part shops and online sellers rarely offer shipping, the few that do, shipping is almost 3-5 times more than the value of the part. The previous owner fitted an air cooled xjr 400 engine in the fazer and subsequently changed almost half its electrical system. I would like to bring the fazer back to its original "feel" and replace everything he changed including engine, electricals, switches, gauges etc. and the appearance as well so it looks as good as it should, what would be the best approach to this , without really spending a fortune? thanks (that's how it looks now)
