For Sale & Wanted / Wanted - Fzs 1000 grab handles - sorted.
« on: 08 August 2020, 09:20:56 am »
As the title suggests, I'm looking for a pair of Fzs 1000 grab rails/handles.
Preferably in black, but any color will do.
I'm located in Iceland so the seller must be willing to send it up here.

Hello,
I'm looking for parts for my Fzs 1000:
- front fairing

Basically everything but the instrument cluster, front wheel & headlamps is shot after a crash.

Introduction / Hello from Iceland!
« on: 20 August 2018, 11:08:34 pm »
Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself since I'm a fresh & proud owner owner of 05 FZS 1000 Fazer. I'm from Seydisfjordur, a small town located by the east coast of Iceland.
I haven't had a bike in nearly 2 decades & this is my first 1000 cc, but the first impressions after cca 2000 miles are that this bike can be as civil or as crazy as you want it to be. Almost a bit of "Dr Jekill & Mr Hyde" in character.
Super easy to ride with very relaxed ergonomics. [size=78%][/size]I bought the bike last month in pristine condition from a bike collector, specialized in restoration of old bikes.[size=78%][/size] The bike looked like it just came from the showroom, with 25000 km driven.
It came with complete Givi luggage system, Yoshimura slip-on, aftermarket indicators, Oxford heat grips, bellypan & a new Michelin Pilot Road 2 back tyre.

I've already replaced the tyre in the back & I'm picking up the front tyre of the same type tomorrow. I'm in the process of finding 19mm hex key for the front wheel axle in order to get the wheel off the bike.
Our only local shop for tyre replacement/calibration refuses to take the wheels off of bikes for some obscure reason. I think they might have had a bad experience in the past or maybe it's just an "insurance thing".
They let me use their tools to get the back wheel off & back on in their shop though. Next thing I'll do to the bike is Ivan's Carb Kit and K+N filter, but that'll come in the off-season.
Anyway, here are a couple of photos of my bike. I hope you're having as good summer in the UK as we do here on the east coast of Iceland!
Nikolas
