I need to fit an aftermarket fairing after dropping my fazer and need a few extra clamps like those pictured below. Trouble is without the correct name I can't hunt any down. With all the knowledgeable bods on this forum someone should know.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome and I hope we can be of help to you.

Gearbox oil, EP90. It will stink but paint it on sparingly and it will rustproof, lubricate and will not be thrown off. I've used it to rustproof all manner of things motorcycle, if only the stink wasn't so bad. Beware though if you don't wear gloves you'll never get the smell off your hands.

It's a damn sight cheaper to fix the bike and pretend I'm deaf.
Call me romantic but after 33 years if marriage I still love the old nag.

After a recent low speed crash I need a fairing but have noticed they ae as rare as hen's teeth. I realise I may have to go down the streetfighter/naked route. That would at least solve the poor lighting issues but can anyone tell me how much this will affect my insurance premiums due to being "modified".
Does anyone have any recommendations for aftermarket nose fairings that have decent lights.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
All the best.

It's rare that the bushes have worn because when they get stuck in the holders they stay there  so no longer wear. The motor will run with them like this but will 'give up' when under load. If you clean the holders then the bushes should spring into place. Search ebay and you'll find 'Flymo carbon brushes' for around  £5. Good luck.

Have a craic with Johnakay, he'll be able to make you a bespoke rack. He made me one and it's a beauty.

No, but that's funny. It was drive twice round the block and if I see you doing something wrong you'll fail. He asked me why I didn't do the emergency stop the first time round but I had to explain I hadn't been round due to traffic jams. He'd obviously stepped out in front of a complete stranger who quiet rightly thought he was a loon.
A few month later I took my IAM test because I wanted cheap insurance for a Suzuki GS1000E. Happy Days .

That's alien to me. I'm an old fart who passed his bike test in 1977. Oh life was simpler then.

I think your missing the point here slimwilly. Strike is always the last option. I've been a Shop Steward for 36 years and been on strike once. That was to get the company I work for to honour an agreement they'd consistently welched on for over five years. As for no one supporting strikers, that's exactly what the torys want as they are currently engaged in moves to seriously curtail unions powers, no just on striking but also on representation and safety issues. Any public body will have virtually no chance of withdrawing their labour.  Cue nurses paid even less with no redress, mass exodus of nurses, the end of the NHS. Just what the tories want. Unity is the only way forward, with it comes occasional distress and discomfort but without it the plight of the underpaid, zero hours contract workers and similar will get worse. I gave financial support at the last fireman's strike which wasn't about money but pensions. Few people condemn the firemen for striking because it's a dangerous and necessary service.  Why condemn others for defending their rights with a last ditch effort against their employers. People only see the media's side. Banks are making staff redundant whilst the clown Osborne sells off bank shares to his mates in the city at well below the going rate costing the tax payer millions. How many public sector workers could have had their first decent pay rise in four years with that money?

Don't want to tread on anyone's toes but there's a set here on ebay.
