The headers are off the bike came off easily no dilemmas, i forgot to take a picture of it before it went to the sandblasters.
Next up dismantle the rear caliper as the dust seals were shot as you can see from the next pictures they are corroded where the seals go and generally dirty, im contemplating sandblasting the outside of them as the paints a bit flaky.

A bit of 800 wet and dry on the pistons to clean them up, there is a svery small amount of pitting to one piston as seen but im hoping the rub down will make that go away or be a bit less.

i'll need your help your dudeness on my streetfazer thread regarding this matter soon, calipers stripped just waiting for a parcel from blighty

quote The blue dot FZS1000 upgrade is looking more and more attractive right now.

i think i would like to no doubt, but prices and availability dictate why i should try rebuild this on... easy come easy go it pisses me off that front R1 blue spots are cheaper that blue spot rears.
fuck it i'll buy some brembo monobloks all round 

So this is interesting from me as i have just completely stripped my rear caliper (pics on streetfazer thread in a bit)
as the original yamaha seals are about £26 for a set i opted for some cheaper alternatives as well, now i can fully appreciate that original is best but £6.50 each rubber seal is foccin ludicrous, i hope the ones i ordered are within tolereance otherwise i guess it will be a case of £26 + £8 and a very smitten case of "i told you so"
seems the fzs 600 caliper is utter shite back from 1980's hence why people upgrade, brakes are usually good or bad on any bike but on the fazer the R1 stoppers at the front are tip top whilst the rears are well just parts bin specials as yamaha didnt see fit to have good rear brakes on a sports tourer

just updating a little bit so i thought i was going to have the bike a satin matt blue colour, unfortunateley that cannot happen as i need to take the bike for the equivilent of an MOT before  i can register it here in lithuania, and i've drained all the petrol out of the tank to have it painted.
So that would mean having to put all the plastics back on putting some juice in her, then go 2km to the MOT station then go register it as silver bike, drain all the fuel back out take all plastics off again have them sprayed blue then back to register it as a blue bike.It's too much foccin around so decided to keep it silver but go for a satin matt silver instead of the glossy silver.
The black wheels were past their best and it seems yamaha put just 1 coat of black paint over the alloy, so I decided to have the wheels resprayed in gunmetal metallic grey gloss, for sure powder coating is stronger but the nearest powder coaters to me is a 3.5 hr drive so i've canned that idea
Plus the guy im using did some car wheels for me a few years ago sandblasted them all painted and refitted tyres and balanced them all in for about 150 eur so it's a no brainer to have it done by him 50 euros (sandblasted/painted/tyres refitted/and balanced) happy days.
I've cleaned up the front discs which were in suprisingly good condition (not scored heavily or worn out)  and given the centre a spray with metallic black.

The rear brake is a different story altogether the disc is not in a very bad shape but it's scored, as for the caliper it's filthy never been cleaned or serviced and the dust seals are poking out from behind the pistons so it looks like a full rebuild before i can hook up the braided line and bleed them.

Been spraying the exhaust flage nuts with WD40 over the last few weeks and all exept 2 are loose just the 2 foccers you need a 1/4 drive ratchet and long extention to get out .... then hopefully plain sailing, i'd like a new stainless set of headers but a 3 euro sandblast and some high temp paint will save me some dosh for either a 1000 rear shock with uprated spring or some pennies towards a R6 unit.
Its on the highest preload setting and is soggy as foc, these are all jobs to do in the future, i just want to ride the thing this summer, and the summers here are long and scorchio, maybe the black swingarm will wait till end of the season in october.

I just bought a set for my fazer went for the race front set up and a rear, i've only fitted the fronts as of now but they look as good as any other branded  braided hoses.With decent fitting instructions and bleeding instructions too, i agree much much better than 20 year old rubber ones

as it stands for now, got a belly pan to have sprayed and fitted, new rear brakes, paint swinging arm gloss black to match the frame, and get rid of that fugly rusty horn for a nice steibel nautilus :)considering making a solo seat cowl out of fibreglass myself  we'll see how that goes

As you can see from the next picture, some new goodies all the way from our fliends in china -new blars - glips - l evers - (spot on for the money) - mirrors - lisers - i did buy some new slitchgear to replace the weathered 18 year old ones but sadly the std fazer ones seem to have more wires
sprayed up top yoke in metallic black

i made a new clock bracket out of an alloy plate it's not finished yet this may be scrapped in favour of another method we'll see.its not fastened down to anything yet as i need to make sure all the cable routing and the clocks will fit in the fairing for a clean look

in need of a deep clean
The pistons were not pitted and all 4 pistons popped out equally with compressed air on both calipers, i havent changed the seals, that maybe a good or a bad thing but for the time being i'll just red grease them.

Details like a back street chippy now and yes i did clean all the excess off
