[Fazer Jake]

One of the best modded FZS 600 i've seen, didnt know the thou would fit in a 600 frame

I must confess, if i'd had the spare cash i'd probably bid for that........

[wraith600]

well worth the cash 

[caretaker]

i'd just buy a good FZ1.

I'm being thick here but what do you say on the insurance form about bike mods!

[darrsi]

If you're daft enough to click on the modification part of an online insurance form, like me for my exhaust, then a whole box of options pop up.
You'd be amazed at some of the things they class as a mod', like engine or fork crash protectors for instance!
Surely they'd be put on for the benefit of your bike if you had a prang wouldn't they??? 

[JZS 600]

Be OK if you don't crash it then....

[darrsi]

Only reason i declared my end can was because i didn't wanna get mugged off by the insurance people on a technicality if i ever needed to claim!

It's a nice conversion, but why? Just buy an R1 or a FZ1.

Because its only £200 insurance a year 

[His Dudeness]

funny that the ultimate fzs600 is a 1000

Not if you declare the mods to your insurer....
As much as I love messing around with bikes the way insurers are nowadays I'd just buy a thou, bring back the old rider policy....

[wraith600]

if you don't want 1000cc power keep the 6 and just make it handle better through a twisty bit of road that 6 will beat  a 1000  and is still cheaper to run
if you think that's mad you should see mine 

[darrsi]

I see it never sold, i wonder what the reserve was?

[Fazerider]

Impressive job.
All it needs now is a nice stiff alloy frame off, say, an R1 to handle the extra power and you'd have decent bike.


Anyway, apologies to Wraith... I seem to recall saying (about 6 months ago), that it probably wouldn't fit.


Still think it's a guaranteed way of spending a huge amount of time, effort and money to produce something that'll sell for about 10% of what would make the venture worthwhile from a purely economic point of view. Fine if it's a hobby and you're intending to keep it, but this guy is clearly going to take a huge loss.

[wraith600]

exactley any amount of mods is only worth it if you are going to keep it . thats why i ended up doing mine most of the time it is fast enough i live in north london and rarely get out of hear except fore the odd track day or drag race
