Thats something I have never seen before
A Fazer with a fridge for a fairing

Paulfzs · « **Reply #2 on:** 17 June 2016, 07:40:07 pm »

yeah this is the 2018 version, its got a much "cooler" look than the previous years.

These are great -- can we keep em coming
Perhaps you should let Jobloggs loose on it with his angle grinder
He will have it looking like this in no time

Paulfzs · « **Reply #8 on:** 17 June 2016, 10:53:56 pm »

im undecided..

ive been doing a fair bit of stunting lately..

im now stuck..

do i do up and sell this, sell vtr aswell, buy another riding bike and something to stunt on..

or keep vtr and turn this into a stunter..

massive rear sprocket, cage and fighter headlight dent the tank, flat bars and thumb brake for rear..

ill leave it standard other than that..

yay nay?

Never thought of the fazer as a stunter -- that kind of thing is more suited to the (turn my head to the side and spit ) bandit

if u need a hand snapping any exhaust studs give me a shout - sure i can snap em all them drill em out wonky

celticdog · « **Reply #11 on:** 18 June 2016, 08:05:34 am »

Not too sure about the stunter thing . . . at 5' 6" i'm a bit stunted myself

used to do some playground stunts in the mid 80's- see pic.
Another option is to strip it down and sell off the useable parts to raise cash for what you really want.

Given enough discs I think I could get it smaller than that

Give the frame and forks a good look over for crash damage. Get the engine running and make sure second gear isn't gone and the threads on the output shaft aren't stripped before you put any money into it. If that's all good I'd go for the "streetfighter" look. Putting back to standard would probably cost too much. Or if you want a fazer as a stunter this is the bike for it

picked it up today, it was a bit green and centre stand was seized took some abuse to get it off! (dirty thoughts out your head)

brakes where damn stiff and soggy tyres.

inspection of damage.

front fairing is.. id say written off if im too busy to fix hower... it has a big crack in it and a bit missing...

i could fibreglass the crack and over the part missing, fill it sand and spray...

rest of the bike is pretty good!

receipts for around £3k-£4k of work since it was made!
as far as i can tell every reciept for everything ever done is there, all work done in a garage so joe bloggs hasnt had his grubby mitts all over it.

2009 it hand a whole new exhaust system totalling £400!

not tried starting it yet as i had things to do but in the next few days ill get on it.

My workmate has just been given a 600 Bandit that has sat outside for 5 years, it looked all green and yucky like that, its amazing what a rub over with t cut and autosol can to to a bike, he has got it moted and on the road for under £170 mind you it didn't have any body work damage. Wish I could get a project like this for free.

If you are gonna use it for stunting and dent the tank I'm sure someone out there would be very grateful if you offered to swap your tank for someones that isn't in such good condition. With a cash adjustment of course.

Paulfzs · « **Reply #19 on:** 20 June 2016, 03:36:07 pm »

so been sat for 4 years...

new battery

drained 3 float bowls, other the screw is dead ! fresh fuel in the tank..
primed
starter button
20 seconds later

Paulfzs · « **Reply #20 on:** 25 June 2016, 06:28:24 pm »

so the front fairing is a bit battered so rather than fixing, going for a round headlight. got the mount for headlight just waiting on royal fail at the moment.

made a bracket for clocks.

they will be bolted underneath aswell with a tab on either side and tidied up.

paulchucky · « **Reply #21 on:** 26 June 2016, 08:40:11 am »

well at least she`ll run cool with that as a fairing
