I am an American Fazer owner living here in Germany. I bought this Fazer last year and had it delivered to me on the night of January 17, 2019. The very next morning I was waiting with the bike so that I could get the appoval for my modifications. Once I had that, I rode straight home and start cutting pieces off. It was a simple and as fast as that. I did do this in my garage in winter with a very small heater so the overall progress from delivery until "completion" actually took 34 days. It was a great learning experience as I lerned that certain metalworking and painting aspects should be left to the professionals, but I did it anyway :p
