Hi foccers. As the title suggests I'm after a GSXR 750 clock mounting bracket that fixes to the rear of the speedo and tacho and has the fitting for the square set of idiot lights (those who have one will know what I mean).
I think that the 750 J K L and M models all had the same bracket and maybe even the 1100's.

This is required pretty urgently so if anyone has one lying around please send me a PM.

Regards

As the title suggests. Looking for a later black engined bike if possible. Must be as mint as possible with low mileage. I know, not much to ask is it. Just an idea I'm toying with but show me WYG and who knows ??? or would a also consider a mint pre VTEC VFR 800 for the right price. 

Please satisfy my request and stop me buying from an inferior manfacturer

I am reluctantly having to sell my lovely Yamaha Fazer 600.

Its a 1998 R registered bike with 17,000 on the clock. It has just had a fresh MOT and is ready to go.

I have owned it for 2 years and it has given me great pleasure. Since I have owned it I have given it a top to bottom freshen up with 2 x oil and filter changes, a new fuel filter a new air filter (all parts genuine Yamaha), a new clutch cable, new chainguard, a new set of Conti RA2 tyres, Venhill brakelines front and rear (not pictured), an SP Racing exhaust (original included), flushed and replenished coolant, fitted a stainless rad guard,  stripped front and rear brake calipers and replaced the pads and replaced various tarnished fastners (all original Yamaha).I also removed the engine casings and had them powdercoated which I then refitted with new gaskets and I replaced the chain with a Gold DID uprated chain. I am positive there are other things I have also done but my mind escapes me. I have a new upgraded front sprocket nut and 'tab washer' set that will also be included.

She is in excellent cosmetic condition for a 16 year old bike and rides as she should. Being totally honest she has a couple of scuffs on the wingmirrors and there is a bit of engine paint flake in the area of the header pipes so it can't really be seen unless you are on your hands and knees. Oh yes, I also removed the header pipes and had them blasted and painted with HT paint. They were in excellent, solid condition and have never been welded or bodged so it would have been rude not to re use them. They were refitted with a new gasket set.

She comes fitted with a Spyball alarm with 2 x keys and keyfobs and is registered to me. I therefore have the V5 and all the old MOT's and service pack inclusive of the service history.

I will also include a 25mm 'jack up' kit which I did have fitted but reverted back to the original dogbones a few months ago.

The bike is located in Coalville in Leicestershire and I am looking for £1350 due to the mileage and condition. I will not be giving her away and have enjoyed every minute of owning her. This is a very reluctant sale but I think you will be hard pushed to find a nicer, cleaner example. I always clean her after every ride and use top quality cleaning products and ACF50 to keep her looking her best.

If you have any questions just send me a PM and I will respond as soon as I can.

Pictures to follow.

Hi folks. Has anyone on here moved over to an FZ8 from an FZS600 ?

If so, was it worth it ?

I'm toying with the idea of this being a potential contender when the time/money/mrs allows.

I'm basically after the practicality and comfort of the FZS with a little bit more umphh, smoothness and distance capabilities and find the FZS a little tiresome on longer runs like 200 miles or more.

Am I barking up the wrong tree or is it a viable alternative ?

Regards in advance 

Yes I know there have been numerous threads about different rear shock absorbers on the boxeye and I have used the search function but I have decided to post another anyways.

What have people got fitted ?

By checking Ebay I have found, 'Hagon' , 'Nitron', 'YSS', 'Wilbers' , 'Ohlins' and 'Hyperpro'.

The Ohlins is out of the question due to price. The rest of them can be had for between £300 - £370 which is still too expensive but at some point I need to bite the bullet. I am also aware that modifying a Gen1 1000 shock is possible but I don't intend to go down this route or infact modifying anything to fit.

By using the search function it would seem that the Nitron has respectful reviews but I don't want a turquoise spring and a black spring is a futher £10.

Side Issue: Why did they decide on turquoise being their default spring colour ? What bike does this actually suit ?

I am leaning towards the Hyperpro but just wanted to see what you guys think first 

I am currently in the process of giving my Gen 1 a deep clean and a bit of a service etc. I fitted a rear 'Venhill' brake line to it today, as I did the fronts a few days ago, and then set about the arduous task of bleeding her up. I managed to get nice fresh, bubble free fluid from both bleed nipples on the rear calliper but I still wasn't happy with the lever pressure. There was too much travel in the lever before the real pressure started.

After about an hour of pumping the pedal and bleeding at the calliper end I gave up. I inspected for leaks and saw a slight misting of fluid around the base of the rubber boot that sits at the bottom of the rear master cylinder (the bit where you adjust the lever height). Its not dripping out and you really have to push your finger into the underside of the boot to get a minute amount of it on your digit, however, i'm guessing its new master cylinder repair kit time ?

I just wanted to know before shelling out the £56 that AJ Suttons have the repair kit listed for 

I can't really say what the lever pressure was like before I fitted the new brake line and bled it, as I haven't ridden the bike for a while due to using my boxeye for most of last year. It was fine when I last used it obviously. The Gen 1 has only done 10,000 miles so I am a bit surprised that a 'Brembo' part has failed within this mileage.

Has anyone else had similar issues at this mileage and am I right in thinking a repair kit is required ?

Thanks in advance.

I know there are 5 bolts holding the generator cover on but I have removed them and it still wont budge. Do I have to remove the screw towards the top right of the cover aswell ? Once undone, can the cover just be pulled off or does the generator come off with it ? I only want to take it off to repaint it. Is this more hassle than its worth. I cant seem to find a definitive in the Haynes manual download 

Hi Folks. I am desperately in need of the IXO model of Valentino Rossi's 2005 blue Subaru Ipreza in 1:43 scale. Must be mint in the box. I search Ebay all the time for this particular model so imagine my dismay when i learnt that one had sold for £7.16p back in February because my search didn't contain the right 'buzz' words 
 
The model number is RAM222. If you have the odd Rossi Rally Car and want to make someone very happy by making their collection complete, then please send me a PM and we will sort out a price 

I have for sale a set of Engine Bars for a MK1 600 Fazer. They have been on a bike but are in good, clean, tidy condition with no rust or flaking paint. They come complete with all the associated fittings but unfortunately no instructions but are very simple to fit.
 
Looking for £30 plus postage or you can collect from Leicestershire if interested.
