If anyone decides to get one it would be worth a message on fitting.  Took me 3 hours but I'm not the best mechanic in the world!  I had to take off a lot more bits than expected.

Tricky, thanks for that.  I have a Yamaha rack so I'll see how it goes.

Has anyone fitted an R&G tail tidy, that you can use the original indicators with?  Are they simple to fit?

Unreal.  Given that bikes damage the roads less than cars and are subject to all new emission controls, what aren't they zero rated like some cars????

I have to say, I have bought two helmets from them.  Both were well packaged and looked like they've never been opened.  I will seriously bear in mind the earlier comment re the possibility of being dropped by a previous customer but I feel pretty confident using them.

Good point about the helmet.  But returns with them are free of charge.  I don't think they are any cheaper than anyone else, just really good service.

I've bought helmets and other gear from them.  It's no problem if things are the wrong size as the returns system and customer service are both superb.  I happily pay a bit more to them than, for example, an eBay seller because of the service.  I don't work for them by the way!!

Certainly makes no sense to me.  Also, I assume it means if you carry spare bulbs you need to carry two types just for the front end?  No big deal I suppose.

Try not to laugh.  Bikes had one headlamp last time I owned one!!  On dipped beam does only one light come on?  Both light up on high beam.

Hello Christine, No outings yet due to a combination of work and weather  :rolleyes .  Soon though.  I hope the Horam run went well.  Had a great breakfast there sometime ago.

Hello Tork, not sure if this is any use to you.  There's a picture of the fixing on the right (offside) of the bike.  The other is thunder seat showing both sides.  You can't see anything from the side or underneath.  It looks as though the cutting of the tail unit is under the rear bolts. 


Sorry its not that clear.

Ok, I'll try to do it today.  Not sure what the photos will show but I have the receipt showing that mine was fitted by a Yamaha dealer so should be abut right.

Hello. i have just bought a Fazer 8 with a Yamaha rack fitted.  Didn't do it myself but can photograph it if that would assist.  Ken

Just for info'.  I found the GoCompare website considerably cheaper for insurance.  I suppose it's dependant on the individual's circumstances.

Nice bike.  And nice to know you haven't found the need to change it at all.  Mine arrives on Tuesday.  Can't wait.

Thanks for that.  I just wondered whether anyone had come across anything they consider essential changes for the bike.  Fully intending to be a mainly fair weather rider :D .  Had lots of Jap 4s in the past and love them, so the Fazer appealed as soon as I saw it.
