Carrying the helmet in the backpack is for when Im OFF the bike, I recently got refused entry to a building for just trying to walk in while carrying it.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Ohlins YA-009 rear shock for fz1: fitment« on: 11 May 2024, 06:55:08 pm »
So this was the only place I could fit the pre-load adjuster and even then it was a tight fight. routing the hydroic hose from the shock to the adjuster was also a pain, I had to route it under the ABS unit, between the unit and the protective plastic splash cover.
Can I ask if anyone else has fitted an ohlins to their FZ1 and do they have photos..? 4

Before I get on the phone to Infinitiy, Sportsbikeshop etc, I thought I would check on here and see if anyone suggest a backpack that you can fit a helmet inside..? Im guessing 30L or bigger. Budget is £100 and it would be handy if it has zippable side pockets.
My old Hien Gericke backpack was a 31L and I could just about fit a helmet inside. 5

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Gen 1 Exhaust header rear mounting bracket?« on: 18 April 2024, 09:53:48 am »
@Dave, the brackets are at the lowest point on the bike, where they will catch all the crap coming off the road. Thus they will corrode and fail.
MY only issue with bikeshops doing that is have to make sure they dont scratch/scuff the underside of the headers. 18

What was wrong with the links for the used, but genuine lockset I gave you in the other thread...? 20
Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: 2005 Fazer Thou Ignition Barrel - What else will fit?« on: 06 April 2024, 10:24:27 am »This hasn’t gone to plan. I was expecting delivery by 4th April. I checked FedEx website on 5th to see they claim they delivered the switch in 2nd. Clearly not the case both my wife and I were home all day. So I’ve paid £194 for the switch and £42 customs with nothing to show. I’ve contacted both supplier and FedEx but heard nothing back yet. Very frustrating.Assuming you paid by credit card, file a visa chargeback on the seller with your bank. Make sure to email a copy of all corrispondance shwoing to tried to resolve it to your bank. 21
FZS600 Fazer / Re: Exhaust Headers« on: 01 April 2024, 04:15:45 pm »
The phrase Sharp was possibly looking for is 'galvanic corrosion' where you have 2 dissimilar metals (Aluminium alloy of the cylinder head and the mild steels of the studs.
If the studs arent badly corroded, and the outer threads are serviceable, then as has been suggested leave them be. If however they are a rusty mess, take it to a professional for them to remove, do not try it yourself and if you can remove the engine as it makes access for that person a lot easier. 22

The ones in that ebay link all look like used OEM lock sets, so they shoudl just be a straight swap.

General / What the actual F.....« on: 20 March 2024, 03:13:04 pm »
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68600346
As a motorcyclist of over 20yrs I am beyond furious at the complete and utter disregard and lack of respect shown in this ad. I have to ask, where the Marketing/advertising dept. at JDS drunk or on drugs when they created then approved this. How was it possible that at no point, was in a shred of common sense applied..? It’s bad enough that they have portrayed and painted all young riders, a law breaking scumbags. But how exactly did they magically think that trainers and tracksuits were somehow now safety equipment of any kind???. But this isnt the first time JDS has portrayed young people as irresponsible and having no respect for other people or their enviroment. I know JDS aren’t exactly highbrow, appealing to the lowest common denominator. But seriously, what the actual F. Complete and utter imbeciles. |
