Replaced my front shock springs.

Slightly longer than original so should give me more feedback and was pretty hard to put the caps back on but eventually sorted and tightened up

Now on look out for spring compression tool to do my rear spring replacement

Might even look at getting the rear shock powder coated a different colour as purple doesn't really go with my red bike

Hey Sinto is that the standard Toys-R-Us Pogo you have on the rear?
I looking towards picking up/purchasing a Hagon rear shock, but have to wait for the Mrs to go away for a few days for some reason or other

Its know as argue about it after its fitted, when Hagon wont take it back because its been on a bike. Jobs-a-goodun

Yes it's standard pogo

and with most of the bike it's been on there since 1998 and done 28,400 miles but I'm gradually getting through the bits and replacing them

My Mrs went away a few years ago so I wouldn't have that hassle

Know the feeling! After about 35-40 miles I was wondering if someone had slipped a couple of extra litres in.....

Cheers

Hey I'm going to order my new rear shock today but there seems to be two Shocks for the FZS600 on the Hagon website, is it a different shock for the earlier fazers. Can anyone tell me the first four letters of a say 1998 Fazer FZS600 frame number? Ta

Ordered a new silencer to exhaust pipe gasket on Sat am from Wemoto-arrived this morning-now fitted, having scraped away residue of previous gasket and installed new one with a little copper grease. All secure & tight!

You ( of course ) took pictures of the procedure to show us all how its done and so we can see the before and after gasket, ----- right ?

Took an morning ride to Seaways cafe at Fridaythorpe then carried on to Bridlington for fish and chips, home in time to pick grandson up for school. Nice to feel the sun again.

Handed my notice in at work over being focced over for money then made the most of the sunshine and rode over the South Downs. New start on Monday, better money so I couldn't give a foc.

"Handed my notice in at work"

, feels wonderful when you can do that and have something else already lined up.
Did the same thing 14 years ago and still remember the over the top reaction from plant manager, I honestly thought he was going to have a heart attack.

dazza · « **Reply #6064 on:** 04 May 2016, 04:59:48 pm »

Oh yes, been ignoring the petty mindedness so far. Not even bothered about the money, it's the principle. The best bit though is I appear to have started a mass exodus. $:\$

HarryHornby · « **Reply #6065 on:** 04 May 2016, 05:04:02 pm »

It must be the season for it. I resigned 2 weeks ago after 12 years in the job, I'm currently on 2 weeks "gardening leave". It a weight off my shoulders now I've resigned

Where about were you on the South Downs cos I saw a yellow Fazer on my way to Portsmouth today.

tommyardin · « **Reply #6067 on:** 04 May 2016, 06:08:15 pm »

All these guys handing in their notice, well I'm retired although my daughter says I'm retarded not retired, makes you glad you sired them.

Hope it all works out for you guys.
I retired last May, just a year ago now, I worked on untill I was 68 but packed up because of crumbled wrist bones, I worked in construction a Brickie and the Doctors said it was Impact and rotation damage but I still think its been to much other wrist action LOL

Not unless you went via Maidstone

Actually, I say South Downs, I meant North Downs. They just happen to be in the South East of England... That always throws me.

Right........yous are all sacked!!!

Oh yous already left $:\$ ....

Funny how all yous foccers jacked it in when the sun is out eh.

Seriously though i've got at least 35 years to go until i can retire but im still all for power to the people.....posts like the above will become ever more rare while the tory boy, oxygen depriving, cum snorters are running our companies......they think that we cant or wont leave & although it is sad to see good folk go it is utterly satisfying to prove the posh knobs wrong

dazza · « **Reply #6072 on:** 04 May 2016, 08:27:53 pm »

You are spot on there Noggy. This is the problem we have got..... My industry, the London Underground is full of Eastern Europeans, Nigerians, South Africans and more recently Western Europeans. Some of them have made England their home and others are using England to earn enough money to have a luxury home built in their own country after only 5 years graft. Some of them are working for 65 a shift and living 6 to 10 in a shared house reducing their overheads. As for paying tax, no they are not. They are all using Bulgarian accountants or now outlawed managed service companies and paying the minimal amount of tax they can get away with.
Employers are trying to use this to devalue our worth and make us feel lucky we still have a job giving them the leverage to fuck us over for money and reduce our rates.
I say...... Fuck them, Fuck the government and Fuck anyone who dares to call me a racist. Give me Quality over quantity every time and just like getting the fuck out of Europe, sometimes, you've just got to have a bit of confidence in your ability to make the best out of an uncertain situation when you know you are being fucked over by remaining in your current one.

Good on you mate, good on you......your post isnt racist to me.........it is the head sheds that have engineered the situation for their own needs & while yes a little bit of integration is acceptable what they are doing in places is making them actually completely foreign which in itself isnt actually all that bad if you are servicing a foreign customer but i still doubt that this is the case albeit we all know that migration has hit unnoficial highs it is still the minority...surely there are more british born using these services than non british born?.....so why should the minority control..........the real reason is like you say......to drive down your wages & who knows maybe they can retire a few years early...to me it is that simple....wankers being in control trying to better themselves while the rest of us fight & pick up the pieces.

Fuck sake I thought this a party political broadcast then.

Just to lighten it up a bit, I off out down the coast on the FZS 600 tomoz. The weather look good so a run to the beach dip the old toes.
