For sale is the brilliant Nitron NTR R2 shock for the Gen2 Fazer, will fit all 2006 to 2014 FZ1n and FZ1s models. It is the product they recommend for fast road and track day use. This is the link to the product on Nitron's website;
http://www.nitron.co.uk/catalogue_item.php?catID=12778&prodID=74517
It cost me a whopping £618 (£515 plus VAT) bought new direct from Nitron ! I fitted it to my 2009 FZ1 and it absolutely transforms the bike ! Each click of adjustment can genuinely be felt, and in addition to separately adjustable preload, rebound damping and compression damping, the shock length and therefore rear ride-height can be altered. The shock length is currently adjusted (by a lock but on the bottom end so easy to change) to give an approx 20mm increase in rear ride height which gives sharper and sweeter turn in and improved ground clearance. The included instruction manual gives you all the options and, err instructions on how to adjust everything.
The shock was only fitted for two touring trips and a few Sunday blasts and is in exceptional condition, virtually as new ! The Nitron build quality is second to none, if I didn't need the money it would be going on the living room wall as a piece of art !! The shock comes with instruction manual, original box and packaging, the mounting bracket specific to the FZ1 (to mount the remote adjuster).
I absolutely loved the way the FZ1 handles with this shock fitted, plush but supple and really well controlled. Unfortunatley, my FZ1 has had to make way for a more comfy steed (age is a cruel thing......), so grab yourself a bargain !!!
The price is £350 plus postage, which I will do at £14 to UK Mainland addresses, or you can collect from Rotherhsm, South Yorkshire. If you need any further info, please PM or email me at mikeyfzs1@googlemail.com

It is with a heavy heart that I am selling the best bike I’ve ever owned - my gorgeous ’59 plate black/grey FZ1s. I’m nudging 50 and although the FZ1s is a very comfy bike by most standards I have arthritis in my knees and also lower back problems, which mean I find the FZ1s too uncomfortable on longer journeys, so I have decided to go down the “adventure” bike route when I have sold it – boo hoo ! Whatever I get will be slower and won’t handle as brilliantly as the FZ1s, but that’s the decision I’m faced with unfortunately.

So………..I was wondering if any of you fine people might be interested in buying my FZ1s ? It has just under 18K miles on the clock, and has a few choice extras fitted, including a Leo Vinci low level silencer (looks and sounds amazing, weighs very little !), Evotech tail tidy and exhaust hanger, colour-matched belly-pan, Ivan’s FCE (fuel cut eliminator), LUST Racing crash mushrooms, double-bubble screen, aftermarket black “shorty” adjustable brake and clutch levers, HEL braided front brake lines, aftermarket “Armstrong” wavey front discs, and a Datatag kit fitted. I have also had the bars, bar risers and heel guards powder-coated satin black. All the standard bits (eg : exhaust, levers, etc) are present and correct and will go with the bike if needed.

I’ve owned the bike almost three years, it has one previous owner and is in beautiful condition throughout and has never seen any road salt so the fasteners, engine paint, etc, are in excellent condition. It has had a recent new chain and sprockets, new front brake pads and (brilliant !) Metzeller Z8 Interact tyres fitted 1K miles ago, so loads of life in them yet ! It has dealer service history up to 7K miles (when I bought it), and since then I have meticulously serviced it myself every Spring (even though it has not reached 6K miles each year I still did an oil/filter change every 12 months), including the last service in April this year, when I changed all the fluids, filters, put in new spark plugs and balanced the throttle bodies. So it needs for nothing – just ride it into the sunset !!

It’s for sale at £4250, viewing is welcome and encouraged – it’s in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Please pm me or email me on mike.fletcher@arup.com (my work email), or by all means call me on 07949 489438.

I’ll take some photos tonight and (try to !) add them to this post tomorrow.

Cheers, Mike

Hi there, previously advertized these on the Forum, but no joy, so now popped them on Ebay if anyones interested - you might get 'em cheap - starting price of £199;
 
Brand new pair of EBC “Pro-lite” front discs and a full set of four front EBC sintered “HH” pads for the Gen 1 (up to 2005) Fazer 1000. Will also fit R1 (98 to 2001).

I have for sale a brand new pair of EBC “Pro-lite” front discs and a full set of four front EBC sintered “HH” pads for the Gen 1 (up to 2005) Fazer 1000.

They were purchased for a project which never happened, so are now surplus to requirements, and are brand new in the boxes they came in. In a recent Performance Bikes test, this combination gave significantly better braking performance compared to OE discs, so is an ideal upgrade, or to replace worn-out / warped discs.

They cost me £302 for the discs, and £37 for the pads, plus postage.

I’m selling them for £250 including postage (to UK mainland).

Please get in touch via mike.fletcher@arup.com or through the forum.

Cheers,

Mike

2005 Low Mileage Blue Fazer 1000 for sale / Part-ex for FZ1s

Eyup, I’ve decided to give the FZ1s a try, so my Gen 1 is up for sale, and I thought I’d pop it on here first.

The bike is absolutely mint throughout, and has not seen any road salt, having only covered 10K miles, 4K in my ownership. It will come with 12 months MOT, and has the following extras fitted;

Ivans’ jet kit
Stainless oval road legal SIMMI  can and link pipe, with removable baffle (standard Yamaha Howitzer exhaust included)
Fabbri tinted double bubble screen (original included)
HEL front brake lines
CNC levers
CG Moto engine / frame crash protectors
20mm raised dog-bones

In terms of service items, it had a new battery last summer, last dealer service at 6K miles in April 2011, and I have since changed the oil / oil filter / spark plugs / front fork oil and cleaned and lubed the EXUP valve, all in the last two thousand miles. Pads and chain / sprockets are fine, tires are approx half worn Dunlop Roadsmarts (excellent all-rounders).

The price is £3395, and the bike is located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. I’m looking for an FZ1s (probably regret selling the FZS, it’s my second one, but I just fancy a change) so if by chance you fancy a part-ex with mine then let me know.

Give me a call on 07949 489438, contact me through the forum or email me at mike.fletcher@arup.com.

Cheers,

Fletch

Eyup, I'm looking for a textile waterproof jacket, with removable thermal lining. I'd prefer the 3/4 length type jacket. If you have the matching trousers then even better.
 
I'm 6'2" with a 44" chest, and usually take either XL or XXL.
 
Cheers,
 
Fletch

Eyup, have any of you fitted a ’99 R1 (4xv) full exhaust system to a Gen 1 Fazer 1000 ?

I’m thinking of going down the full-system route with my Gen 1, and I might be able to get my hands on a ‘99 R1 full Micron system.

Any help and advice appreciated.

Cheers, Fletch
