The weather was sunny so I decided to fit them ( airbox cover , seat side panels , radiator trims and fairing in fills ) Got the air box covers on ( just ) despite holes being a gnats cock off but then went on to the seat side panels and bloody things won't fit:'( So 20 minutes worth of swearing and scratching my head wondering if it was me I gave up and sent a mr angry email. I could get the dremel out but don't see why I should.In the second picture (Make that third) it looks like the hole has not been drilled in the centre of the recesses, if they had of been it looks like they would have lined up.

I think I've got it sorted now tommy , ( hopefully ) spoke to gb moto and they've said that it's that the holes haven't been drilled out correctly and if I drill them then they'll fit which I'd worked out but I didn't want to do in case I focced em but they've said if I break em while doing it they'll replace em ,so now I've got an excuse to use the dremel the mrs got me for chrimbo

I'm guessing its not an extension to the house as the internal walls looks like they have been built with concrete blocks rather than thermal ones. So guessing its an out building of some sort, would make a lovely garage, cavity wall. It needs lots of insulation much better than that container.
Filled the Fazer 1000 yesterday on the way home from work, took 22.5 litres. Just started to misfire coming off to bypass before the petrol station 😃
