Walking through rear reception this morning and some stupid bint opens the door into my crash helmet, her excuse "sorry, I didn't see you", I replied "what, through a transparent glass door?"
This is the 2nd time in 6 months and I'm not letting this one slide, where does the law stand on such matters? as I fully expect the company (like the last one) to deny any responsibility on the matter.
1. as it happened on company property are the company liable? if so what legal speak can I quote them to capitulate?
2. or will I have to take the woman to opened the door unto my crash helmet to small claims court..?

Like some, after 30mins the left side of my bum begins to ache. I believe its either the riding pos or the seat, as my bandit 600 dosent cause the same type/level of discomfort etc, so...
1. is it a riding position issue (which I am leaning towards) that maybe fixed by changing the rider foot peg, bum and handlebar positions..?
2. is there any more that can be done to the stock seat that will help (fyi I have tried with a local upholster, with changed profiles etc (lower, different density foam etc)and it just made it worse)
Last resort is I go and buy an air hawk and have inflated just enough to keep my 'sit bones' from touching the fazer seat etc.

2. is the circiutry still there, could I just buy a left hand switch gear with the aforementioned buttons and fit..?

Afternoon
Discovered my new fazer had the R1 shift arm, and that the connecting rod was bent to suit. I have a spare stock set wich I put on, but in the mean time I would like to if anyone (Devilsyam?) has come up with a better way of using the R1 shifter so that the connecting rod dosent foul on the frame..?

I already have a seat at the upholsterers, in good cond, but the foam has been cut too man times. So what I am after properly knackered seat that I can give said seat repair man to make a copy of etc.
So a properly knackers or old /split seat is fine and the cheaper the better.

How is the headlight delay circuit implemented on the thou? I have a bandit 600 s that I'm using for winter and I want to install a HID kit but as you know HID kits dont like being on when your trying to start the bike as it turns off and shortens the life opf the burner/ballast.

I'm considering buying an FZ1-S after my previous gen gosh smashed. The bike is stock apart from a modded seat (which is the first thing I would have changed), but am I correct in assuming that i may need to get and fit an FCE if the delay at 4500rpm is annoying enough?
Other than the above what else do I need to be aware of regarding this bike before going ahead?

Due to the shitty weather and not being able to find the right Fazer 1000 to replace the one that got smashed a few weeks ago I am looking at getting a 600 so I have something to keep me mobile.
Have a budget of upto £1000, can be the square or foxeye, mileage unimportant but needs to be mechanically sound and preferably have a some sort of service history.

nb. did spot the silver fzs a few post below, but its above the budget.

On the way home from work, minding my own etc. Filter of the m-way down the slip road and half way down out of nowhere I get a cnut up behind. At the roundabout junction we both pull away from the lights but I have position as we go round, again right up behind me. So at this point not only am I trying to navigate the useal idiots in cars by have to cater for fuckwit aswell...
I then take my turning and open it up, as I get to the bottom where the turning/sliproad meets the dual carrageway, again I have position. So what does matey do, 80mph+ up in the inside of a car to get in front of me and then carry's on accelerating at speed up the dual carragway weaving between cars etc. I easily & safely catch up and eventually pull up at the lights.
I get some crap about being in his way.... he's been riding since he was 15.... he will punch my light out... blah blah. My reply back, 'it dosent take a genious to see you were riding like a cnut', more verbal from him... but just ignored him at that point. So we pull away again, I get position again, again he is up my arse, but this time there is no where for him to go, further up the road after it widens up he is trying to act cool and goad me at which point I ignore and go on my way.
His bike, looked like a 2011 Z1000, but the twat was wearing a motorcross helmet with no eye protection... says it all.
