Hey all!
Brand new Fazer rider. Finally joining the fraternity with the bike I ORIGINALLY wanted when I first passed the test 8 years ago.
It's a 2001 FZS600s in red Black and silver.
It was in a truly crap state so I got it for a song but I've loved fettling it almost as much as riding it. Helped hugely by all you kind folks on here.
So far i have:
Stripped and repainted the engine (including polished covers)
New back tyre
Stripped and polished the forks (while changing seals)
New chain and sprockets (17:46 gearing, last tank range 260 miles)
Fitted a hugger and fender extender
Balanced the carbs
And fitted an led DRL bar (traffic now parts like the red sea)
Still to come:
K&N air filter is in the post
As are the projector headlights and thou mirrors
And most excitingly, i'm halfway through a partial DIY carbon fibre vinyl wrap, which is actually going very well indeed!
The Red paint is horribly faded all over. So wherever there is red, will now be carbon.
And that's it.
Nice to meet you all.
Ps, pics to follow!
