FZS600 Fazer / Re: Fairing for 2003 fazer

« on: 09 April 2018, 07:30:12 pm »

Thanks folks. Funnily enough a red fairing has turned up on fleabay but.... well f***ed doesn't begin to cover it!!
Fowlers want 220 notes for a pre painted red one; then there stickers to add. Would look cool but a lot of money for a 14 year old bike (albeit with 11000 miles and in excellent nick)
I guess its a question of any real point on such an old machine. Fairing looks ok at the mo; the repair is reasonably solid its just the painting over of the repair. Like I said, a nice shirt with a stain on; you always know its there

Cheers again for the replies

FZS600 Fazer / Fairing for 2003 fazer

« on: 08 April 2018, 09:21:57 pm »

Hi all

Anyone know of the best place to source a (red) nose fairing for my 2003 Fazer?
Ebay reveals little more than a few knackered and tatty examples or the odd replica (from Poland I think - any good?) which would need spraying.
Mine has sustained a crack around the offside indicator; a result of a "clumsy moment". Only about 2 inches but deeply irritating.
How easy or practical is a professional repair? I have fabricated something using Araldite plastic weld and touch up paint which is holding up ok but its a bit like having a nice shirt with a stain on!
Ive been told the fairing can be repaired but the whole thing would need respraying as well as new decals - a royal pain in the derrière!!

Yours hopefully

Cheers
Richard

FZS600 Fazer / Clutch lever pivot bolt

« on: 11 August 2017, 09:42:50 pm »

Hi folks
I hope someone can help. Have gone to swap my OEM clutch lever for a new after market part on my 2003 Fazer 600 and ... Ive gone and sheared the pivot bolt when removing the lever!!!!

Simple question. Where can I get a spare? Appears to be a 10mm bolt with the bush attached. A Web search hasn't actually offered much although Ive found a website called Yambits which seems to sell pivot bolts although it doesn't state for what bike. Will they be all a similar size?
Will try Yam dealer tomorrow although I suspect I won't have much joy!!
Yours hopefully
Richard

Hi Folks
Im the proud owner of a 2003 600 Fazer. Only passed my test in June at the ripe old age of 52!! Midlife crisis??

Anyway now enjoying my second childhood haha. Truly love the bike; does everything I ask and more. I bought her with only 3500 miles on the clock so its like having a new 13 year old bike.
Recently spent 3 days in N wales exploring some fantastic and deserted roads (I went midweek)
Some pictures to enjoy if they upload ok.
Cracking site full of great tips and ideas.
Cheers all
