I'm with the others here, sell the Buell (you'll wince when you realise how much it's depriciated but hey ho) spend the cash on the Fazer...Nothing is as good unless you want a dedicated sports bike or dedicated tourer In my humble (oft wrong) opinion. I've just got a, don't laugh, BMW R1200 RT SE which is a better tourer but man it's s..l..o..w. Still my licence is breathing a sigh of relief because I'm geting my biking kicks at legal speeds now 

 Off my 2002 FZS 1000 Fazer
I have for sale the following items which I thought I'd offer here before fleabay gets em

 
Chrome lightweight End Can (make unknown) £50
MRA flip screen £50 good condition
Rack £25 bit of bubbling of rust coming through
GIVI plate £25 good condition
GIVI topbox £150 takes two helmets and is as new (cost me £239)

 
All prices will need postage adding, which my good lady will sort as and when because I'm working away at the moment.  Cash on Collection would be ok if you can get 15 miles north of Lincoln.

 

 
I no longer have the bike :-( miss it a great deal but will buy another probably in a few years when I can afford one again...I know you all know but just in case someone hasn't cottened on just yet...There is NOTHING on earth that comes close to the Fazer Thou

K Tech did the work, they were recomended to me by Webbs at Lincoln (local Yamaha dealer).  Pissed off cos I gotta take it all to bits again - just what I wanted in weather like this with a week off work. 

I've only recently started to adjust rear suspension since taking my missus on the back so I just didn't know how fine or course the adjustments were - it always felt ok to ride so I just left it alone until then.

Thanks Know your limitations, for confirming what I thought should be happening 

 solorider!!
          Jeez mine were in no way as bad as yours! I'd have gone straight to the blue spanner with them (Burning torch).  Mine were easy apart from one stud shearing, got about 20mm left to play with so not too bad.

 
FuZzBom,
          When I first got my Fazer the valve was stuck shut and it ran awefull, gutless at high revs.  I cant imagine for one minute having it open continuously would let it run well at low engine speeds. It made a massive difference when I first experienced a fully working exup valve, nuff power at all times! That's why we love em innit?  The one listed on eBay looks like it would make the engine sing on full throttle but I just wonder how often your full bore caning the bitch till she screams no more and the front wheels just coming back down while you snick it up into fourth....or summat you louts on bikes like to do. I myself ride like nun carrying eggs (not in a reproductive way, I mean like Chickens or Ducks if you fancy).  Anyway I'm off work sick so I gotta bit o time to type.  So I have, typed. I'm off for a coffee and to stare at the phone while waiting for k tech to ring and say my shocks all done


 

Wow. Looked awesome. Then I saw the towbar.

Only thing that worries me about the R6 mod is the drilling of the mount! surely the lightwieght 600 is not blessed with too much metal for the job? and then to remove some of it to fit it a much heavier bike...with a fat top box and two people? If it was just me on it I might have gone for it but I'm happier with a heavy strong thing that light weak thing, if ya know what I mean.  I'd be interested to know if any who have done the mod ride two up with luggage and is the mount stressed, stretching, cracking or owt? yer know after a few thousand miles...or summat.  I, obviously, am no expert but it seems wrong to take metal away.

I must say I like the new site too.  It loads quicker and is very clear.

bit harsh saying this new site is crap.  Its certainly 100% better than a blank screen and I'm glad to be here :-)

My name is Richard, and on the 26th Jan I shall be made redundant  wonder how long I'll be able to hang on to my Fazer if I don't get a new job ASAP!!
