Title: Scrambler build
Post by: Jimmy2wheels on 08 April 2018, 09:52:08 am

I’ve decided to do something with my 2001 fazer. Just to keep me busy, give me a headache, and fill my brains with thoughts that I don’t have time for.  

 
 
I’ve always liked the look of cafe racers, scramblers, Rat, and brat bikes. So, the plan is to build something lovely looking. I’m not much of a speed guy, I prefer to cruise.
 

 
 
I know a couple of guys on here have built scramblers (http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic (http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic),23400.0.html) so I’d really like to chat about the process with then. I’m looking to put Continental TKC80’s, stick air pods on, scrambler seat, take off the front, etc.
 
This is something I’m going for...
 
 
Scrambler fazer

So the first question I’ve got is, what replacement for the dials have people done?

I think mine could well end up like that.

Not a Fazer but built this one just because it was fun and the original set up was pants.

Did you not connect the tachometer? Was that a problem?

Ha mate, first bikes I rode didn't have them, don;t really look at one now just use the engine noise and judgement.
