Awesome, just bought the 130mm ones so I'll let you know how I get on  I bought some generic top hat spacers on ebay for a few quid, but I think they're 1mm too wide as the shock won't fit in so need to file them down 1mm each.

Any idea if 130mm dog bones would be a massive difference from 127mm? I've found some generic ones on eBay for a significant amount cheaper than I can get 127mm ones made for!
I can also get 125mm but this would raise it too much?

Happy modding 
Fantastic, thanks for the additional info, should be able to make dog bones myself just need to find someone with a lathe

Hi, I'm also interested in the dogbones/ spacers if they're available?

Ok mate let me know  I crashed my fazer last July too, which I bought these replacement forks for, but I decided to brake it instead as it wasn't worth the effort getting it back on the road. Hope the frame isn't bent as I'd hate to re-frame one!

I've got a set that have been recently refurbished with a spare set of progressive springs that I bought but no longer need £225.

Cheers, I've heard good stuff about JB weld. Do you know if oil is supplied to this area?

I'm trying to get my crashed Fazer back on the road, the right side of the crank cases have cracked where the starter clutch cover bolt goes. Will it leak oil from the starter clutch area? If oil is not supplied to this area I guess I can just use something like JB weld? Edit: you can see the cracked crankcases at the bottom left of the starter clutch cover.

Looks good! Could you post a picture of how the clocks are mounted to the headlight brackets? I'd like to do something similar.

Hi Kimkt,
I'm about to do this to my Fazer, please could you provide a link to the headlight you used?

Good stuff, will keep you updated with pictures when I finally get round to it... need to sort out other damage first though and make sure it still runs!

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't taken the movement of the headlight into consideration so that's a good point. I don't mind messing around with the wiring as long as it's not too complicated. The bracket did get a little twisted but I think the clocks still sit straight with it mounted up, so should be able to salvage it . Will keep my eye out for a headlight and brackets on eBay.

Yep front fairing totally buggered, I'd only consider replacements if they were similarly priced to just sticking a round headlight on. Mounting the headlight looks simple enough with the two fork mounted brackets, the more difficult bit IMO is how to mount the clocks and what to do with all the redundant wiring.

Yeah that's a good point about different clocks, I just want to get it on the road as cheaply as possible since it's now a CAT C, there's not much point throwing much money at it.

Yeah the front mount 'flap' whatever the correct term is. I think the tank and the frame are fine, the metal mount has taken the brunt of the force and twisted, so I've ordered a new (secondhand) one from a breaker which hopefully resolves the problem. Just need to sort out a single round headlight and mounting the clocks after the fairing got destroyed

After using your advice about checking the gap round the side, I noticed it was sitting on the rubber on one side but not the other. I took the bolt out the front mount and noticed that it would sit fine when not tightened, but when tightened it would pull the tank up... So I think when the bars hit the tank, the front mount bent  Miraculously I came off more or less unscathed, spent the night in the hospital because I started talking jibberish for a bit and repeating myself (concussion) and a slightly bruised knee but otherwise ok

have the side rubber mountings rotated ?
im assuming you have checked the two bolts under the tank at the front aswell
the rubbers are the most likely culprit though
I did initially think the rubbers had slipped, but after looking they seem right. They're positioned the same as this: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/pVYAAOSwfC9XPcGm/s-l300.jpgI haven't checked the two bolts under the tank at the front though  Will check later.

I went into the side of a lorry that turned across my path on the Fazer, the front fairing is smashed up, forks bent, headlight unit cracked, fairing stay bent and both engine covers cracked. I've managed to put on a new set of forks and the the bike still seems straight.
Now when I was installing the handlebars, I noticed the tank is very wobbly from side to side. I've checked the front mount and rear mounts are tight, and the tank still has the rubbers underneath. I cannot figure out what has changed to make it become so wobbly?
The handlebar got bent into the tank slightly when I dropped the bike as there is a small dent in the tank. But I can't think what's causing it?

Need the generator cover and starter clutch cover if anyone has some?

I sent you a PM regarding forks, I've now found some. But I do need some engine cases if you have some?

Apologies, thought it was model specific sub-section part of the forum...

Hi, got into a SMIDSY a few weeks back... need some forks or a good set of stanchions if anyone has any? Cheers,

Don't think it would make much difference and it was a 5mm HSS bit I used.
The tap was an intermediate taper one.
Tried again with the intermediate tap and it worked a charm! Cheers Unfazed, lifesaver.... Done about 20 miles on it and nothings fallen off yet (touch wood), so just in time for summer.
