My first Fazer and the winters work is almost complete..............just Mikes "Full Monty" to be fitted in a few weeks and some Hydro-dipped bits I'm still waiting for (side panels, carb covers & fairing inners) to be screwed back on. I do my own metal polishing (well most of it) and there's some long hours been spent on mirror polishing almost anything alloy
Had a good shake down run on Saturday and I'm chuffed to bits with how she goes and handles, As well as a full bike strip down and full service on anything from the motor to the rear linkages I also stripped and serviced the forks and re-fitted with new stronger K-Tech springs (I'm a pie lover) so at least the forks don't collapse under braking any more. The bike already had a nice Hyperpro shock fitted when I bought it and that works just fine. I also removed that useless air recirculation system and fitted the carburettor 4-Way crossover equalization manifold idea, (

I'm not sure if this crossover idea has had a big (or small) impact but the bike runs very smooth and pulls hard at lower revs so once Mikes worked his magic with the "full monty" install I reckon I'll have a smile as wide as the humber
Overall I'm chuffed to bits with it and as they say "things can only get better"
