Hi everyone, been a while since I've posted on here properly. Alot has happened over the last month -mainly getting a job in a gym, so no more despatching on my
turd fazer!(so no more corrugated plastic fairing with drain pipe mount!)
So given that I can start cycling to work soon I'm going to start my bike rebuild. Theres a number of problems that I need to address quickly and a few mods I'd like to do to make it a better ride. Oh and before anyone says buy a thou -I am still an all weather biker so I'd like to keep the 600 for the winter months even after I do get a fazer thou/fireblade/ducati/who knows!
Ive got a few mods to do too such as K&N, upgraded front/rear suspension, foxeye conversion, paintjob, light engine tune....
So current problems that need doing:
Engine oil 10k miles old!Fuel leak from pumpRear shock has dumped all its oil (mattress bike)Cam chain maybe 1 click away nowLeaking front forks(replaced seals and new stancions fitted)
Sprocket bearing badly worn (new bearing waiting)(new one now fitted)
Headlight wiring has a ghost(the ghost is back....)
No radiator fan (Summers coming!)(fitted)
No main stand(meh...)
Bent front fairing brace(foxeye fitted)
Frankenstein fairing(in the bin replaced by foxeye fairing)
Exhaust can blowing round crap rivets(yeah....still blowing...)
Rev counter sticks on 5kFuel guage KIAOverheating light shorts when wet! Parts I have aquired so far:Fazer thou rear shock (Now fitted with Hyper Pro spring)
Fazer foxeye tank (Fitted)
Fazer foxeye fairing & brace (fitted)
Fazer foxeye headlight & loom (fitted)
Thundercat forks/yokes/fender (watch this space!)
Fazer foxeye main loom
Foxeye clocks
Rad fan (fitted)
Silicone rad pipes(now fitted)
Ill probably do some of the more simple things now but cant do a full strip down yet as I'll be going to france soon for a bike trip to a number of the WW1 graves with my dad and his pristine BMW 1150! Also who wants to spend the summer rebuilding a bike to ride in the stinking winter!(been on the trip -awesome great memories and no break downs!!!)
Oh and finally -Christo I washed my bike and have the pics to prove it!!!
