Hi might sound silly but need help please.


I got a 55 plate gen 1 with a givi rack and an M5 plate fitted.


Do I need  monokey or monolock top box.


I'd appreciate any help please.

Morning All,


Has anybody bought a Peaklife Satnav.


I'm trying to be frugal (as opposed to tight) lol.


I've looked at options including a waterproof case for a car one.


the write ups i've managed to find seem ok.


But i thought i'd ask in case anyone has got one.


I've found a site that will sell them for £79.99 which seems really good.


Any Thoughts peeps ??

Got up this morning, put the biking gear on went out to the garage jumped on the Fazer started her up pushed her off the centre stand. Thought that's a bit soft, got it out the garage and checked rear tyre flat. Argh  on a Saturday of all days.


Rang round a few local garages got someone to do puncture repair for £25. tyre was not perfect and a bit rounded off but worth saving in my opinion.


took the rear wheel to garage only to be told tyre was Fuc**D. and they didn't have one in stock. Grrrrrrr


Managed to source a tyre Avon VP2 sport AV60 for £128 fitted at Thunder road Honda dealer in South Wales which I thought was pretty good for dealer.


Collected wheel gave up on going out today whist refitting wheel rear brake pad separated from metal frame Argh..... part 2.


Down to South Wales superbikes for brake pads £23.00 not as bad I thought for Yam main dealer even though they are £12.00 from M&P.


Anyway all back together and wheeled back into garage 6pm ready for tomorrow.


Waved finger at her told her how disappointed I was.


Said we would try again in the morning.


Rant over..


Before anyone tells me off I know you should change tyres in pairs but the front is like new.
Never had avon's before more a michelin battleaxe, any good ?

Hi peeps,


Got a 55 Gen1 thats now looking sweet after alot of hard graft.


I will post so pic's shortly.


The big letdown is the seat its in good condition no rips and not out of shape


But it just looks weathered and is letting my sweet newly sprayed gun metal grey ride down.


Any suggestions on cleaners or polish perhaps


Or do I just bite the bullet and get a new seat or cover.


Any help would be appreciated.


Cheers

Hi all ,


1st time poster.


Got a 2005 55 last of the Gen1 Fazer 1000's.


Had it 2 years but never been completely happy with it.


I bought it for an absolute song at £1750 but it was rough when I had it.


The bloke who had it before me had tried to turn into the "rat look" whatever that is, it had been sprayed a matt black that looked terrible had all the stickers and mirrors removed and filled in.


As these bikes are bulletproof I thought i'd tinker with it and get it back up to standard.


There was nothing actually wrong with the bike it was just abused unloved and very weathered.


Anyway i've stripped it right down and i'm in the process of a full respray and overhaul.


A full engine service, new exup valve and cables and she runs like a different bike (we are now starting to bond lol)


However a more pressing issue I've chewed up the allen key bolts on the rear disc stripping the wheels down to be sprayed


I cant seem to find replacements anywhere, anyone got any suggestions


I will post some pics once done as i don't want to jump the gun


But I recon about another 2-3 weeks. If I can get the disc bolts...


Cheers
