:lol  Bugger off i ain't pulling them all out the garage! Any suggestions for colour of wheel rim tape for no 3? Not red or silver ;)
You could just take a pic from the garage door to save you pulling them all out :b
Black :)
Black's not as bad as you may think, if you get the right reflective stuff. :thumbup

came home from work early so got some time in the cave, fitted an R6 rear shock conversion to my 02 1000,
easy straight forward job.
then fitted a usb socket under the seat, also removed the stock mirrors & fitted  barend ones instead, just waiting for the mirror blanking plugs to arrive from luke .

Checked my coolant levels and thought I might as well put all new stuff in.


Then realised when we made the ally radiator I didn't get round to clearcoating it!


Weather has not been kind



What looks like black paint actually is just dirt!  Seems harder to get off than paint though...



After 30 mins of "fettling" with wire brushes, paraffin and sandpaper its starting to resemble its former glory.

took mine for a short spin & seems to handle fine ( in the rain) after fitting the R6 shock conversion,
got back home & my shorty levers had arrived so fitted them,

Also got out for short run around. R6 shock fitted last weekend, now I can corner without the back end hoping around, really has made a great difference, can't wait for the summer to try altering the forks and seeing what that does to the bike  :)

Sub woofer? I like to think of it as a ghetto blaster. I will attach it with sellotape :)

Fazer No 3 has been serviced, cleaned and greased, lubed and adjusted everywhere. Fitted stainless bolts in a few places and it's looking a lot better than when i bought it :)

Painted the rear disc centre

Caliper next, really not looking forward to trying to key in some of the fiddly corners
Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!

There's a thread somewhere on here about doing them :)
And the rear one splits so that makes it easier :)

Going to get a bucket of hamerite and drop it in, can even leave the brakehose to make fishing it out easier........No, obviously not, thanks for the tip

Beautiful, nice job! I want to replace the screws holding the front rotors too, they are rusty on mine. I found a few sellers having those on eBay for $40 or so, not cheap for a few bolts :(
