Fitted 2 new coils to a stuttering machine that is getting on my man boobies now. To say the coils did not solve the bucking bronco is an understatement. To be honest its the not knowing what is wrong with my pride and joy that is doing my one brain cell in.

Thing is how much money do I throw at the problem?

Any how the tank cover fits a treat but is no bloody good if the bike insists on throwing me from the saddle.

Got it Ivanised by Mike The Guru over t'Luke's place, so got to have a good sniff round R1 fork conversions, single-sided s/arms and copious amounts of carbon dipping too - yum! :b
Then had a cracking ride home along the A4 (Bath, Calne, Chippenham, Marlborough, Hungerford) and up via Wantage and Faringdon to home. V. fast as A4 was pretty empty after Bath, jeez you can get some serious speed going on there when it's like that! :b :b

Fitted a Rentech luggage rack. What a ballache! but worth it now it's fitted.

Will attach photies tomorrow.

Shame I'm not going on the road trip now I have everything.

Why a backache? 4 bolts, and it's on on mine.

Tried extracting the swing arm roller bearings but failed.  Will take the rear shock off and clean that up instead.  Much easier. 


Hopefully will come up with a cunning plan to remove those pesky bearings this afternoon.

Everything I own is for sale.....at the right price.
 
To be honest, I have a Fazer that is now perfect for me, has had a lot done to it and have literally spent thousands on this bike, and I don't really want to do or spend much more on it.........

Mercury Exhaust
New Dunlop Roadsmart tyres
New Gold DID chain & sprocket
Ivans Jet Kit, dyno'd at 135bhp at the back wheel
Nitron Sport rear shock
Race Tech front fork springs
Wheels powder coated gloss black
Renthal bars and grips
Matching belly pan
Crash bobins
Rear Hugger incorporating chain guard
Chrome yolk, bar ends and radiator cover
Clear indicator covers
Major Service, the big one, valve clearance and new shims, new oil and air filter, new dual spark spark plugs, new battery, brakes and linkages serviced, exup valve serviced, carbs balanced, new oil & brake fluids & coolants

I have really enjoyed the experience getting it to look, run and handle this way and now seriously thinking about doing it all over again.

Don't fancy USD forks and an R6 rear shock?
I didn't do much modding on my first 3 thous, but I've got the bit between my teeth on this one!
I think a lot of that is due to now being a FOCcer, and making the contacts/getting the advice to get on with it - so thanks to all the other FOCcers for that  :thumbup
